Less grief today — more coping. Excited by the pandemic-caused opportunity to shop Baldor Foods, our local restaurant supplier. OMG, amazaballs! Such variety & deliciousness. As a foodie, I am thrilled. Would love to throw a party with this access (or cook for an SCA event!) but most likely they'll stop offering home delivery when gatherings are safe again. Who knows — if the restaurant business is hit too hard, they may continue home service for a while... Spot the assumption — that mass gatherings will be safe again. Seems likely, if history follows pattern. Black Death, "Spanish" flu — this, too, should pass.

Today's plans — cook (maple carrots, quiche, bread?), sew a mask for myself, sort wall art waiting (in piles around the living room) to be re-hung. It will be nice to reclaim living space for the 3 of us.

Today's count:

NYC: 53,000 cases 1,600 deaths
NYS: 103,000 " 3,000 "
US: 258,000 " 6,600 "

Our case count is up +3,000 since this morning.

Strong grief wave. I will let it flow me into bed...

Nap failed. Applied long, hot shower. Socialized with boy — some talking, some on our own devices. Bathed cat's butt & clipped his ingrown claws.

Current figures:

N.Y.C. 56,289 cases 1,867 deaths
N.Y.S. 102,987 2,935
U.S. 275,586 7,087
