* Monday was bureaucracy and errands, all frustrating and fruitless. Tuesday I did get an answer on some of my phone tag, which was helpful, but not germane to the big questions. Nearby Millenial has quit, so I'm going to see about adjusting the hours back for head Millenial.

Wednesday, my social worker checked back in. No luck on stoves, but she's continuing to look, superhero that she is. Head Millenial postponed to Thursday, so I foraged alone and burned the tail end of my EBT on vegan cup of soups. Don't judge me, the trader Joe ones taste good and I can make them with hot water and I don't have a lot of spoons and the not being able to use the oven is still super hard on meal planning.

Thursday, I got a bunch of bureaucracy call backs. City guy's kid got infected at school and was seriously ill, though recovering. They are all quarantined. Honest Contractor is also ill, but hasn't been checked yet, so he's quarantined. I hope he's okay and that City Guy's kid doesn't get long term health issues. They were all so careful about infection and they are good people.

So the electricity is on hold for obvious reasons.

Tavy was so excited to see Head Millennial here. he is so worn out from all the excitement that he didn't even come out for lung time. HM got a lot done and stayed very late. Obviously, we are not caught up from quarantine, but it's very much progress.
