Mar. 5th, 2020 03:43 pmI thought it was Friday today, but it isn't. Oh well.
There is hope for this week, however, in that I still can't sing (stupid sinuses), but at least I've stopped waking myself up snoring. More sleep is good. Now all I have to do is persuade Snip to stop sleeping directly on top of my legs and getting offended when I want to roll over.
There is also hope for this week in that I got a six-pack of Guinness from one of the students I wrote about eight externship letters for. When I said he owed me beer for the letter I wrote at 4:45 on a Friday a couple of weeks ago, I told him I was kidding, but he went and did it anyway. And so I accepted the beer, and it's sulking in my bottom file drawer until I take it home.
Speaking of sulking, we're probably going to have to close the faculty practice for a while because they're down to a week's worth of masks and can't order any more on account of coronavirus panic hoarding. We've got to keep the teaching practice open because that's the point of being a dental school, but they're rationing masks. I don't know who I'm more annoyed with: the media for fomenting panic, or the general public for being gullible.
I still have to do massive amounts of grocery and kitty litter shopping, which is going to take at least tomorrow night and Saturday. But it will be good to have food in the house and not feel like I'm living on odds and ends. And having kitty litter in the house is always good.
