I love credit cards so much! v3.0 (see first page for add'l details)

Had a great day! Lots of conversations with business owners. Some worried, others prepared - but it was great to bring insight and helpful guidance. We are officially 100% WFH now so that’s nice.

We've decided as a family to do a movie night every night for now. We are going through the entire Star Wars catalog first. Tonight is Episode 1! I think I could get used to social distancing (although I might get super fat - I need to stop eating so much!)

Starting with the prequels?

 

[DisneyMandC]

I'm out of work, generally speaking, until about April 6. Office is closed for the next two days and then we're beginning a rotational schedule until the 6th with only about 2 attorneys and a handful of staff members in the office at any given time. So I'll go in the office about twice between now and April 6.

Wild, weird times.

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

Starting with the prequels?

Yeah - using Disney+ so we have everything besides Solo and Rise of Skywalker at our fingertips.

What's your reasoning for starting with the prequels?

Have your kids already seen them? Maiden voyage with the kids, we started with A New Hope...personal preference is release date.

Yeah we’ve seen all of them multiple times. We’re going to go in sequential order; prequels, rogue one, etc.

As crazy as this may sound, Rogue One is my fav after 4, 5, and 6.

I've been thinking about doing that. I think it's probably been 15 years since I've seen the prequels.

As seemed inevitable, DD and I are no longer making our trip to Scotland. Interestingly, the universities haven't sent anything out indicating that they are cancelling their Offer Holder Days, but both have moved to online classes versus in-person so I can't believe they will hold these events. Once the travel restrictions were extended to the U.K., we knew we wouldn't risk going. But the good news is that this pushed DD into just making a decision, and she accepted her offer at the University of Edinburgh!! She will be an Edinburgher . I decided to take advantage of the airlines trying to encourage people to book travel this month and booked Saver awards on United for DD, DH and me to travel to Edinburgh in September to take DD to uni and then home for DH and me (had to remind myself a few times not to book the return for DD, lol). I had the United miles I needed to book all 5 one-ways due to cancelling our original return for the now-abandoned trip to attend the Offer Holders Days. I was also able to book the Hilton on the Royal Mile for 8 nights all on points, taking advantage of the 5th night free. I booked one night on its own on points in the hopes of being able to use DH's FNC from his Aspire once that hits his account. I got points back from our cancelled reservation in Glasgow for the trip we aren't doing, and DH also had his Aspire SUB point and the points I got from transferring some of his MRs to Hilton to take advantage of the current transfer bonus.

In separate news, while we still only have 4 confirmed cases in Idaho, our school system decided not to hold classes this week. And next week is Spring Break. I think they will use the next two weeks to work out a plan to transition to online instruction/learning. For this week, they are basically using snow days that we haven't had to dip into this winter since it's been pretty mild overall, so no shortening of the instructional calendar, at least as of yet. We are still crossing fingers we will be able to fly to Maui on Saturday to join my Dad and sister who arrived there yesterday. I did email the company we are using to scatter my Mom's ashes at sea to see if they can possibly defer if we aren't able to get there...

How awesome! What will your DD study there?

 

[SouthFayetteFan]

What am I doing this week... oh ya know (10sec mark if the video doesn’t start there):

 

[Oscar Madison]

I know they were ripped on but we still enjoyed.

@havaneselover I just saw Richmond schools closed through the 13th. I'm sure Chesterfield and Henrico won't be far behind.

 

[miztressuz]

PA governor announced state liquor stores (the only game in town) would be closing tomorrow at 9 PM. You should have seen the line there just now! Looked to be an hour long. Dh wanted Scotch but we decided it wasn't worth the wait. I may check tomorrow morning. I can get beer and wine at the grocery store at least.

And the big change, other than going state wide, is that they've shut down the online ordering too as of 5pm today (Mon Mar 16). They will process orders that were submitted for home delivery before that time, but anything selected as store delivery is cancelled.

I could run out tonight to the couple still open in my county (the majority are already closed from the first announcement) but I think we'll just make due with our stash. We're out of the everyday standbys but if you really need a drink that badly, anything is better than nothing and we'll clean off the bar finally!

I detested Episode 2 LOL, I could never sit through that again. I liked Episode 3 though.

I am working tonight, we are so busy I am hyperventilating today. This was a terrible work day, and the April trip uncertainty (well almost surely a no go) and all the new restrictions, just compound on it.

I saw that. I really don't see how they go back this year. I'm totally fine with dd learning remotely but I'm just not sure what DS will do but busy work. But there are much bigger problems in the world right now.

San Francisco is ordering shelter in place effective midnight tonight until at least 4/7/20. No leaving our homes except for medical reasons, to get food, or work. Several Bay Area counties expected to follow.

We're part of the same shelter in place deal. At least 9 counties all agreed to do it together. Good thing we are all virtual friends here.

I'm a bit jealous. I want to do the same, but with DD having her 14 day quarantine and DH still coughing from February's illness (nope, no tests so we don't know) we are stuck socially distancing inside the house. That takes all the fun out of this shelter in place deal, not that it's fun to begin with. I hope everyone ends up healthy so we can have movie nights and bake cookies together. That's why I bought all that flour and sugar, after all.

 

[GlamMistress]

Remember after 9/11 and the airlines were broke and then we all had to pay bag fees for ever and ever? I wonder what new fees will come from this mess? Just imagine if all that cash wasn't spent on stock buybacks...

And then get fat and sassy...per my earlier video!!
