I have been having a lot of double vision. The doctor says it's a side effect of the dry eye, and I just feel safe. I have poor night vision too, so driving in the morning is a bit of an issue. I really don't drive much.

And glad you're still enjoying Animal Crossing so much, your daughter is awesome you got a new flag and a dress. You really are having an awesome reading time lately, aren't you?

I know the people going into the office at my job are getting paid more during this time, which I think they deserve. Mentally, it's hard to go out there. With so many people being asymptomatic, it's hard to tell who has what. The good news is, if you are healthy, you should make out ok. I think they said in NYC 99% of the people, who died from the virus had other underlying medical conditions. Those are the people we need to protect.

It's just good that they found something for me to do from home, so I am not getting money for nothing. I am such a hermit, this is all working for me. I am worried about how quickly I will be able to process docs from my home, because I only have a laptop. At work, I have two huge monitors, and can position all my windows in an efficient manner. I can't even tab through the windows on my laptop, because I only have the one app to remote into my computer. I have training tomorrow, so I guess I will find out how it will be soon enough.

I think it will be good to get back into the swing of things slowly, though. My daughter had so many gaming systems (still does), but I never really played with them. I did Cooking Mama, Animal Crossing, and some of the Wii Fit games back in the day. What are you playing? Hope you're having fun, and beating your husband.

I remember all the low ratings for 99 Days, because of "cheating". In reality, the couple were broken up, when the "cheating" occurred. So, it wasn't cheating for me, and I am curios about how it plays out in this story. I was interested in this book, because of the teaser from I See London. I am keeping an open mind.
