And no I am not, nor never have been, a teacher. But I did spend 30 years as an educational assistant in a high school. So I saw what teachers, students and parents did and I was always appalled by the lack of respect that teachers received.
HERE-HERE well said- a good teacher is a gift!

Don't feel sorry for me, but I have always worked from home and still can.
 
The one bad part of always working from home is that my spouse now delivers lunch and ice water to my home office so I don't get to take a break and stroll around the house during the day.
Thank god for having a considerate spouse.
Sometimes I think she needs a trip to the drive up Bealls window just to keep her mood in check.

Maybe for some this extra time will put things in perspective, for all, and have better quality of time together.

Hunkering down is a yearly practice for the elderly in Main and other winter snow bound northan states. It is called "Cabin Fever" it can be detrimental to psychological health. Nothing new.

Glad your not going to be going without! Your post just begs the question, how many rolls come in in the 1 pkg?!?!?! 8? 12? 18? 24? Or 36? !!!

After inside cleaning is done take a walk around the neighborhood. Each day walk a little farther. By the time this virus is over you be walking 5-8 miles per day. Great way to stay healthy.

My divorce attorney daughter has seen an uptick already. Mostly couples with children. Lots of pressure with working at home, children home and maybe even money worries. Kinda sad.
If after less than 10 of isolation they are seeking counsel, they already had issues.

I have been going through serious withdrawals from my lap swimming addiction. I hope I don't wake up my wife in the middle of the night trying to swim backstroke in bed.
