DAY 7 (officially DAY 8 but I had one extra day of telecommuting). I slept in again today. Got up, read a little, worked out a little, took a short nap. Tried to take hwy17 during a break in the storm and wound up crossig when it was at its worst. My mom is enjoying the sheltering. It doesn't really change much for her except that a lot of friends and relatives have been calling and she loves to chit chat on the phone. Not sure how well she hears it but she's still enjoying that. She's got an appointment for new hearing aids this Friday, but we'll postpone because she's too at risk to go out. Santa Clara county is just too hot.
We tried to get groceries delivered but it was too much of a hassle so I made a quick Safeway run. Everyone was gloved, many masked too. People were really careful to give each other distance. Safeway was wiping stuff down regularly between each customer. I gloved up and used a stylus to press buttons. I also bathed in my remaining hand sanitizer (I always carry that and still have some - I should've grabbed the cleaning stuff on my work desk too). I got my mom well stocked for the next few weeks, except for paper towels.
I'll probaby tuck into a movie soon, after finishing my mom's laundry. I hope it has a sword fight. Review forthcoming.
