I'm currently waiting to do an assessment for an iop program. T1 wanted me to look into a program so I went to the place I was inpatient back in January. They have a teletherapy option for their program so we'll see.

Hope it works out for you! Though I imagine it would be challenging to do if you have the kids at home...

So between the new job, being sick, now the move, things have just been crazy. I had a meltdown at the old apartment today while we were packing/cleaning and I just don’t feel okay.

Technically I tested negative for COVID-19, but I think that was a false negative. Our office building is closed tomorrow and specifically my suite in the office has to telework until the 13th. On top of everything else, I feel bad that I may have given it to one of my coworkers.

Our big food bank also closed down to volunteers - my shifts were cancelled. They are more in need of money right now.
In my neighborhood, we have a lot of these things called little libraries where people have put boxes in their yards for books and other people can go by and take them (I got rid of a lot of my person's paperbacks that way) =now they are being turned into tiny little food deposits where you can drop off canned or boxed goods and people in the neighborhood who need food can just go take what ever is there.

Same here, SD. Little libraries and all. When the city first started closing down, there was a flurry of ad hoc food delivery volunteer groups springing up, not connected to the community kitchen or food banks. I was uncomfortable with the idea of @ 100 more people running around to grocery stores shopping and delivering groceries. I just wasn't convinced the increased contacts and widening networks wouldn't do more harm than good. Most of those have calmed down as the established non-profits have closed to volunteers in favor of in house staff. So now $ is the best way to help. Most of the non-profits have switched to drive through pick-ups and expanded Meals on Wheels deliveries. I think it's safer.

Had a nightmare that I was falling asleep when my friend came to sleep in bed with me like she does sometimes when I'm really depressed. That was comforting but then an octopus came to get me

Had my first social distancing anxiety dream last night. I was at some mall with my parents and realized that people were standing too close to each other. So I went to find a more spread-out part of it, but they were washing the floors, so I had to walk slowly to avoid falling, and there was some guy who looked like he was about to sneeze. Woke up in a bit of a panic.

Hugs...if they told you it was negative, it's not like you knowingly passed anything on. Or if you mean you think it may have happened before you were on leave. There could easily be an asymptomatic carrier are your job who gave it to both of you (assuming you mean they're doing telework because someone else may be sick).

I woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat. No fever, no cough. I just had strep a few weeks ago; maybe it's rearing its ugly head?

Either way, I'm going to call Occ Health today.

Ugh, hope it's "just" strep or maybe a cold? Or seasonal allergies maybe? Pollen is really bad in my area thanks to our really mild winter.

Ugh, occ health is making me get tested for COVID. I think it's mostly a liability thing, so I won't spread it to patients if I have it (which I really don't think I do).

I'm now on a 14 day quarantine but my doctor is not testing - she said "it's a pain" - she's just assuming that I have it.

I tried calling our Occ Health but their phone is ringing off the hook and they are not answering.

I hope you feel better!

My state just issued a stay-at-home order except for essential things like groceries, meds, etc. starting tonight. Because people wouldn't listen and follow the rules of the less-strict order, now people can be fined and I think arrested for violating order. My first reaction? Panicked run to local liquor store (where I wore gloves and followed social distancing, only one other customer there, but they were getting a bunch of calls for possible pickup). Still waiting for more details on the restrictions, but I think we can still go for "short" walks in our neighborhood.


Glad I have Dr. T in an hour...

Don't know about your state, but in mine liquor stores are "essential." Also it sounds like fines/arrests would be for people who try to have parties or something. But that might be different where you are. My state hasn't been hit very hard yet.

Mine were considered "essential" in the previous order from last week ordering "nonessential" businesses to close. But unsure about this order? Or it could be, they may only be allowed to provide delivery? (Which used to be illegal in my state, but they changed it with some of these restrictions.)

I just read having no taste is a symptom of Coronavirus.

I think that means Info has a permanent case.

Ba-da-dum-CHING. I’ll see myself out.
