Day one work from home. It might take me a minute to get into the swing of things. I find myself distracted and late but I did get up and shower and get to work. 

Steve messaged me and told me to move money to a different account and go to the grocery store. There seems to be some concern that the government is going to close things down. My husband is not a fear monger and thinks all of these extra precautions are silly so when he told me to go to the store, we went to the store. 

Store #1 - there was absolutely no toilet paper to be found. We have an 8 pack at home and we have lots of paper towels so we bought the 10/$10 sale on tissues and left. 

Store #2 - absolutely no milk to be found. No milk. No powdered milk. We bought pasta, soup, chicken, macaroni and cheese that doesn't need milk. We also were unable to find any hand soap. Tai called and asked us to pick up milk for them and I told her our findings. She quickly went to the store near them and thankfully found milk and got some for us too. 

I sent the kids to the neighbor's to check in on her. She is an elderly lady and we just wanted to make sure she has our phone number in case she should need anything. I know her children are checking on her but wanted to make sure she had someone close. 

I'm not panicked but I am more concerned than I probably need to be. I reached out to a couple of friends with anxiety disorders to see how they were doing.

We are all in this together. All of us. We will see what the next news cycle brings us.
