Truthful Tuesday

So is it weird that I'm totally okay with not leaving my house? I have food (at least for a while) and a normal amount of toilet paper. My pups are here. Just not the ponies. I called for hay, and it's coming, but I'm not yet sure when. So I can't bring the ponies home right now. And truthfully, I'm not sure I could care for them properly right now with their special needs and my job as crazy as it is. So for now, they're staying at the boarding barn. My state is really vague on whether or not we boarders should be going to the barn and the barn owner is allowing us for right now. Boarders only, no lesson kids, no extra family members. I'm thinking about not riding Shiny, and just going out to hand walk the rehabbers and let her have a free lunge if it's possible in the indoor. Most of the other boarders go out early in the day, and I can't until after work so there are usually only 3 people there when I am. I'm not using the cross ties anymore, and bringing my own clorox wipes for door handles and stall latches.
If they decide to close to boarders, I will definitely miss my horses, but I'm honestly okay with that too. I want this thing to pass quickly. As an asthmatic, I'm pretty terrified of catching it.
Where are you guys at with this thing? Are you still seeing your horses? Are you riding?

Truthful Tuesday

Phew. Guys. It's still nuts at work. There have been a lot of cookies consumed. Especially with girl scout cookies arriving... But still here, still got my head above water! Just barely.
I don't have too much to confess today, other than that I'm super behind on reading everyone's blogs. Hoping to catch up soon!
Are any of you seeing extra work stress thanks to Covid-19? What's your level of panic? I'm not super worried about it, for me anyway. Maybe for my parents since they're older. Definitely not Ebola level of panic. From what I can gather, it's basically a cold/flu unless you're immune compromised. So, while I really hope not to catch it, I think most of us will get through this. I just hope the work stress doesn't kill me!
