There's an awesome post on Captain Awkward, sparked by a letter from an extrovert who is *dreading* the social distancing. Loads of really cool ideas in comments for ways to keep up both human contact and your spirits. Here (second question, though the first one is also a goody).

I didn't even call, honestly - because I'm still going into the office every day, I didn't want to go in case I'm already infected and asymptomatic. I did start a Ravelry group for us, though, and there's a chat room in there we can use. I'll be buying vouchers to support Biddy's as well, plus they're delivering cake by mail now.

Uncertainty is what has me climbing the walls. It does not suit my control freakery one bit.

Ah, I did not know Ravelry had chat room facilities, I shall have to investigate. And perhaps order some Biddy's cake, too. We can be civilised in our own homes. And supporting the businesses we care about is also a very good thing. It's horrifying to think how many people are going to lose their livelihoods and how many businesses will be unable to survive this.

When did Anna go to Oz, and when is/was she due back? Do you remember?

Yeah. I like to feel secure, and I can't, right now. It is horrible. The "what's going to happen" is worrying me far more than "will I get ill?" which isn't logical but, that's what it is.

Anna is back! She's messaged me on Ravelry - she got told to work from home but has to provide her own laptop so she was trying to buy one yesterday.
