Not a bad yesterday

Yesterday we had a company-wide meeting on how to deal with remote work, and so did my wife.

With any luck, we’ll be able to get to the end of this with our jobs intact. I’ll be doing everything I can on my end to ensure that our clients keep their projects on time, because if _they_ stay on time, then everything does. I don’t know what that means, it’s kind of word soup right now.

Yesterday we had some wonderful home-cooked meals. Blueberry scones for breakfast, a lovely pasta lunch, and pork chops with rice and beans and spinach and cornbread for dinner. Topped it all off with a molten lava cake for desert. Instagram-worthy meals.

I’ve got a nagging sense that it’s going to get real bad before things pick up. I don’t know how to put it in words, and I don’t know if there’s much more I can do to protect my family than what I’ve already done.

I’ve already lost 10% of my 401k, but that’s fine for now. I pulled most of my money out of stocks about six months ago, which meant I lost a little on the way up but didn’t have to jump as things started sliding.
