Mar. 20th, 2020 08:58 pmThe state has declared Scott's plant to be 'essential services' and on the list of things that need to stay open in the case of a quarantine. That means money coming in but also means Scott being out. I'm expecting mandatory overtime this weekend.
I've been expecting the decision but also wondering if anyone would be paying enough attention to consider that having containers for milk, distilled water, etc. is kind of critical for being able to distribute them widely and reliably.
I have a headache. I think it might be stress related, but I'm not sure. I suppose the way to tell is to take an Ativan and see if it helps.
I've got laundry in at the moment with another load waiting. I changed the sheets and remade the bed. Yesterday, I made three loaves of banana-pumpkin bread (I had enough bananas for 1.5 loaves and a can of near to expiration pumpkin which I wanted to use completely if I opened it). Two of those are in the freezer; the other is nearly gone. I debated whether or not to use the flour, sugar, oil, and eggs, but I can rely on us eating this, so it seemed better than holding those things for an unspecified later.
I inventoried our two free-standing pantry cupboards and part of the kitchen cupboard. Most of what I didn't inventory is spices and things like molasses that we just don't use often.
The molasses needs checking to see if it's started to go bad. It's a partial jar that we haven't touched in a couple of years, but I may want some if we go back to using our bread machine as we all like anadama bread. We've got newly purchased yeast and enough all purpose flour for one loaf.
I'm trying to figure out how to get my laptop to work with Discord voice chats. I can receive and hear other people's voices, but I can't get my microphone to talk to Discord for anything going outward. Scott and I tried my laptop with Facetime, and we were able to make the sound work both ways without much fuss, so at least the microphone is still functional that way. My best guess is that I've got some sort of software incompatibility due to the age of my laptop.
