Last night I could have sworn I was coming down with a fever... but never felt hot to the touch. Maybe it was psychosomatic because of everything happening in the world. Maybe it was wishful thinking because I really wanted to stay home. Or maybe I'm just imagining things because I'm getting old.

Regardless of why I thought I had a fever, I started running through everything that would happen if I had to self-quarantine myself. I have plenty of groceries and supplies. I bought Coke Zero and Quaker Brand Chocolate Chip Rice Cakes yesterday. Everything I need can be ordered online and dropped at my door. And I can work from home if I have to.

So... not a big deal, right? I could totally use a staycation. Right?

Because, hey, if Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson can make it through COVID-19, then I can. Right?

Everything will be okay if we can just stay calm and trust that the people in charge of keeping us safe have a handle on things. Right?

Yeah, it was great watching this ignorant, stupid, confusing address by our president show just how fucked we are. You could literally watch the stock market go into free-fall as he was talking! You know it's bad when a presidential address does more harm than good and we would have been better off if he had never said anything at all.

And it looks like our choices for the election come November are this hot mess and... Joe Biden?

Jesus. Spring may be coming, but the winter of our discontent is neverending and Friday just keeps getting further away.
