What beautiful renders!
I'm doing okay. Running out of a few things. My son is going stir crazy and wants to drive over and go shopping for me but I told him no - Birx said to stay out of grocery stores even. I can make due without ketchup! Can't wait until I can take my son and granddaughter out to lunch again!

Beautiful render! Welcome to the Hive!
As mentioned before, I'm happy having to stay home 24/7. I do miss talking to other coworkers, but we were able to just chat in our weekly developers meeting today. The reporting part is never more than 5 minutes, but our manager let us chat for about 15-20 minutes after. Clearly, others miss talking to each other too. We use Zoom, and the video/sound quality is excellent ... the sound is like being in the same room. Because of security concerns, we're now using passwords and have to be admitted into the chat.
We did learn today no decision has yet been made as to when we will have to start working in the office again. But, it appears management realizes it may not be until the end of May. Knowing we will be required to work in the office again is depressing when I think about it, so I do try not to think about it. I'm so happy not to have to deal with being out in the world. Interestingly enough, my mood has been better than it's been for a good year or more. Apparently, the change in office location and having to work in cubicles with little to no privacy and quiet instead of office has affected me more than I realized.
I'm a wee bit curious as to how long I can do 24/7 before I start experiencing cabin fever :wink:
If I lived closer to my family (all of them are in Oregon on the West Coast, while I'm on the East Coast), I would definitely feel more anxious not being able to be around them. That will change when I retire as I plan to move back to Oregon.

I hit that about 3 weeks ago, so now I drag myself out to the local supermarket once a week, which is a very short walk. If all I do the rest of the week is go down to the lobby to check for mail, I get jumpy. I'm so used to taking my 1/2 hour walks 3 or 4 days a week, and now that I can't do that, I'm ready to climb the walls. ~shakes head~

How is everyone feeling today?
Is it becoming more challenging to maintain social distancing?
What are your observations and concerns?
Please feel free to respond to these questions with a render if it’s more comfortable than talking about it.

I got a 20 rolls pack of TP this week. I would have bought a pack of ten, but they didn't have any. So 20 it was. LOL
And yes, my usual reserve was getting low, or else I wouldn't have bought it at all.
Looks like the degree of saturation of TP in households around here is going to be reached soon.
Else I am fine, working from home ... no cabin fever here. The only difficulty is making sure I am taking breaks from work.

I have cut my own hair since I was in my 20s. So, I have no excuse for letting mine get so out of control.

There's an old, old joke (old as in it predates the 17th century), which goes:
"What is the cleanest leaf in the woods? Holly." (Holly being prickly, of course, and the joke pre-dating both modern toilets and toilet paper).
Did you know that toilet paper (as in paper produced specifically for that use, not re-purposed for it) is a Chinese invention and hundreds of years old? They even made a perfumed version back in the fourteenth century.

I am often amazed at just how old some ideas really are also how dangerous some were. I was shocked when I found out arsenic was used in the production of wallpaper in Victorian times.

I'm sure that toilet paper hoarding is a thing for some but... In the US there really is a toilet paper shortage, strictly because people are stuck staying home and using 40% more "home style" toilet paper rather than using quite a bit of commercial toilet paper at work, restaurants etc. My daughter who lives in San Fransisco and so located in one of the first places to lock down says she and her two housemates actually use 75% more than usual. Anyway this article explains what is going on. https://marker.medium.com/what-everyones-getting-wrong-about-the-toilet-paper-shortage-c812e1358fe0
