Typical

In response to the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 shutdown, my computer has started randomly crapping itself.  From minor things like the clock not keeping time any more to the whole thing freezing up multiple times yesterday and needing hard reset.  I had forgotten that was a thing computers did.
But now that I am stuck not able to do anything about it for at least a month it is being a little bitch.
At least if it dies I have my Nintendo Switch for entertainment and Simon's old iPad to stay in touch with people and watch tiny Netflix.

Anyway, what have I done?  Ummm, there must be something to write about....  Think, think, think...

Friday I was planning a lazy day in PJs, slightly disturbed by my dad offering an early morning ride to Frozen Direct/Couplands.  they were open as it was just after 9 when we were there but they had basically nothing unpacked and out yet.  Serious timing fail.  And pak'n'save was already randomly rationing some things - like porridge.
I got home to realise I was going to have to shower and dress nicer after all as Student Health had sent me a summons for a free flu jab.  So I washed, put on my Amanda Palmer concert t-shirt (which is a size too snug and led to flashing underbelly at people), grabbed lunch with Oli and then got stabbed for my health.  I still have a bit of a lump almost four days later, and it bled a bit that night (on my white linen).  But in the scheme of things, worth getting.  I can't die of COVID-19 if flu gets me first....

Saturday I spent chilling and doing not a lot.  Heard something about alert levels being raised but didn't look too close until after dinner.  Glad I went out for dinner while I could, thai food from Spirit House with my family and some nice looking at the ocean, as I got home and watched the evening news to learn that I was now on soft lock-down, as someone statistically far more likely to end up hospitalised with this thing.

So Sunday I spent in PJs isolating myself - though my family visited and my sibling is making it pretty clear she thinks social distancing is stupid and over reacting.  So she will almost certainly be the vector that kills someone.  Hopefully not dad, as he may be my only reliable way to get groceries.  Also would be annoyed if he had died, he is the only close family I remotely get along with.  My grandmothers are both great, but not sure on their chances.  Also don't have much contact with either.

Monday, another day in PJs.  Midday I saw the country was ramping out the lockdown so I now will not be leaving my house for the next few weeks - I will have to get used to little to no human interaction.  No guest allowed now, and basically everyone will be on lock down anyway.

This morning I have been lying in bed listening to the builders shutting down the building site for the lock down.  One of the older builders (guessing from the voice) has been making some pretty racist comments about how pandemics are caused by there being too many ethnicities living places......  The logic confuses me.

Now I am up and being angry at my PC for possibly dying on me.  And as I grumble its clock jumps backwards in time by almost an hour.....  In happier news my morning blood sugar results are returning to normal.  Must have been a cold messing with them, was worried that either I had bad metformin or that my disease was progressing to where I would need more serious treatment.

And the google stats on this thing are becoming useless as it is so flooded by more hits from Turkmenistan, hitting the same handful of entries over and over.
