Screen

Listening to KRCL live. Charge RN brought in a pack of stick on green moustaches! I wore one on the mandatory* mask for the door screeners.



Planted the shamrocks, added the previous owner's much abused fire screen to moderate high desert sunlight.

Went in this morning, since I was not told specifically not to. They were going to send me home, then needed someone at one of the only two doors unlocked. I screened and directed people for a couple of hours. I don't mind, but it's perhaps not the best use of hospital funds to use an RN as a door greeter. Everyone is drifting between shrugging cheerfully and mildly irritated resignation. I'll be offering my time to do phone screening later today, not going in for the next couple of weeks. I can afford nearly two months just with my accrued time off, assuming they don't offer anything else.

Stopped at Trader Joes on my way home. Big sign saying "We're all in this together" and not to take more than two of any item, and not more than one cart full. While they weren't fully stocked, there was enough. I picked up more tinned herring, shelf stable cream, frozen meals, and our normal groceries, three bags worth. Didn't use a cart at all. And a half gallon of milk for our neighbor, who got gouged at the big grocery store, and was worried about getting more. He wanted to pay me, I refused.


Reading Ghosts of the Tsunami, perspective.

The big wave heaving
Roaring silent destruction
Are we high enough?


*It'll stop some droplets if someone coughs at. Not much help, but more is overkill in this situation. Just wash your hands well. With soap.
