We got the scary alarm on our phones about an hour ago


Sonoma County is joining the shelter in place order at Midnight tonight

Four new cases in county in the last few days

I am fortunate to have plenty of work but am having trouble focusing on it

The feeling is similar to our fire weeks of the last few years

PTSD much you think?

Take care of yourselves everyone

We’re still out walking, gardening and going to the dog park

It was weird when I got home yesterday to see all the neighbors home during the day

Surreal is a good word

No one so far here has tested positive. I've been evacuated twice for fires, and I much prefer this. We're retired, so we'll be fine financially. I prefer sitting around the house rather than having to leave with ten minutes notice to gather up what I can and wonder if I will ever see my house again.

And you’re right, leaving your house not knowing if it will be there is definitely worse

The similarity was yesterday in the grocery store, everyone seems to be in a daze
