I feel like I should be pretty unaffected, since I never go out anyway :D But I'm having trouble settling to any kind of work--my usual lack of focus has been magnified by all the changes and the stronger-than-ever pull of social media (heck, there's always something new there now, since everyone's spending more time there...).Rebecca M.

It must have been an incredible amount of work. And I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip for your grandma's memorial. That's sad. Life hasn't been upended too much here. I work from home with my job anyway, so no big change there. My daughter is home from college, finishing her semester online. My son works at an "essential store" so that's a little nerve-racking, but someone has to do it. I worry about my elderly parents getting the virus. They've been staying home and I've been getting their groceries for them. All we can do is wait and hope and pray the crisis will be over soon. Stay well. Congrats to Jemi on her book. My grandmother and my father-in-law both had dementia. It's such a cruel disease for all involved.<br />Lori at lorilmaclaughlin.comLori L.
