St. Patrick’s parades canceled everywhere, but the horses still raced at Oaklawn. Yeesh.

I haven’t yet been to the store, and I’m dreading it. I need bread and milk, but who knows if it’ll be there? Toilet paper I have, but I guess one more package wouldn’t be out of line. And I mean one, not one gross. People have been going more than a little nuts, buying everything as if the world were ending. Fairly sure it’s not … yet.
I’d much rather think of happy things. Tuesday’s St. Patrick’s Day, and that means lots of green. Though hopefully not faces … but with this coronavirus going around, you never know.
I’ve never been more happy to be an introvert.
I’m only a little Irish, so please just blow a kiss. Yeah, stay over there, thanks.

Every single St. Paddy’s Day he thinks he’s a leprechaun …

I wouldn’t either if he put this get-up on me.

I lean toward shenanigans, though.

Shopping tip: stock up before the hoarders get there.

There were whole sections of aisles with nothing. I got one package each of toilet paper, paper towels and water, but I saw a lot of people with tons of stuff in their baskets. That was the most full my basket has ever been, and I got nowhere near the amount others did. Sheesh. I’m exhausted now. 🥱

For several years now, there has been an Irish Music Jam Session on Sunday afternoon at the Hibernia irish Tavern but these Jam Sessions have been cancelled until further notice. I usually go there on Sunday afternoons and play piano at the Irish Sessions. Hibernia has also cancelled the Saint Patrick’s Day party on Tuesday as well.

Many more things will be canceled before this is done. I’ll be working mostly at home for a while. Which means I’ll be doing less laundry, so that’s a plus.

But I still have to go to work at the hospital.

I’ll be amazed if “cancel” and its various forms don’t show up in Merriam-Webster’s words of the week roundup on Friday. It’s certainly gonna be well-used this week.

Bread and milk? I have a relative who is a dairy farmer. Would you like to temporarily borrow one of her cows?

Nah. Not a fan of whole milk. Though it would feel like home … 🐮

Speaking of stores running out of toilet paper, someone from my church sent me the following joke: “All of the toilet paper has disappeared because it is time for The Roll Is Called Up Yonder”.
