My therapist told me today I should quit my job because the stress is literally making me dissociate more than I already do.

Yay trauma response!!!

Ah geeze Kief. I am wishing you the best very much right now. I hope you are staying as safe and comfortable as possible

Since Pornhub Premium is free during this crisis I've been catching up on my MILF porn.

Looking like Tokyo and Osaka are going into lockdown soon. Lots of places are shuttering. I came into work today and my boss was like "You aren't scheduled to be here until the 14th." So that's neat. Now I have time to take care of tax stuff and clean my apartment. Also cook. I'm thinking I should order a case of craft beer from a local store tonight.

Escape From Noise

I went out and stocked up. I am ready.

Escape From Noise

Nah. I get it. I think we all do dumb things or consider doing them. Then in retrospect think "What the hell?"

Escape From Noise

The grocery stores here aren't completely picked over. Still plenty of veg, not much in the way of meat though. Which is funny because it's something I usually don't really buy but now being home have a few things I was thinking of. Ah well. No masks available but that's alright. Just hangin' tight.Kind of bored.

The store where I normally shop is now stocking shelf-stable cartons of tofu. They still have the fresh/refrigerated stuff, too, so it's not a complete changeover.

No black beans, though. :mad:

I got black beans yesterday at the import store. I'd been looking around before but hard to find for different reasons. There's plenty of tofu here. I bought a mapo dofu kit thingy and I kind of need mince for that.

I went by work today to take care of something and they're closing as of today. The had to throw out a case of eggs so I left with a bunch. Thing is...I bought eggs the day before yesterday. I guess I'll be living off of omelettes now...

Escape From Noise

Japan is in lockdown kind of, and I don't have work until who knows? I'm getting paid this month but possibly not the next. I have savings but... also kind of worried what this might mean for getting our license for brewing, and beyond that being able to order materials and supplies. Ah life.

Escape From Noise

Ah man Tokyo is at over 1300 cases. Osaka is at over 500. At least Hokkaido seems to have stabilized...

Escape From Noise

I went to sleep at like 8 or 9 pm and woke up at around 4. Weird

Escape From Noise

I have got cabin fever so bad. My tiny apartment is usually just fine when I can still get outside and do things. Or just like...hang out with people.

It's been kind of rainy and crappy since yesterday. I dunno. Guess I need to stock up on beer and stuff.

I've pretty much given up on buying any masks. The only shops I could find selling them were little locally run places selling at crazy mark-ups (3400 yen for a box of 50). All drug stores, convenience stores, and grocery stores are sold out. I guess I'll have to wait for the two masks that Shinzo Abe promised everyone.

Escape From Noise

I still just think it's funny that the prime minister was like, "I know there's a mask shortage, so the government will soon be supplying everyone with them." Which later came to be two masks per person.

Escape From Noise

Man...I know if I had to do all online courses I'd just drop out because I really cannot do online classes.

I've given up on finding masks. Yesterday I had to hit a cash machine and mail something. I swung by every convenience store between there and the grocery store while reloading a link on the Sharp website for masks. The link was getting slammed and everywhere was sold out. Limiting my time out of my apartment is probably more effective anyways.

I'm telling everyone who provides me service to stay safe from the other side of a plastic sheet. The old ladies at the post office seemed very happy with that. I still got it.

This is one area where I am fortunate, as our management is firm in the belief that staff must be protected, so we have some masks and I snagged a box of gloves for the regular bleach cleaning I'm doing in the office common areas.

I'm also on paid leave so I'm okay there.

Just waiting for my two masks the prime minister promised to everyone.

Escape From Noise

I just went to the store near my house to get some things and they're completely out of hand soap.

Escape From Noise

I ate burritos for two meals today.

Escape From Noise

I don't really have anything useful or meaningful to say but I hope you and your wife stay safe

Escape From Noise

Going back to work on the 7th apparently

Escape From Noise

Someone pointed me to a place that had masks and now I have some. Also she gave me a mask.

Escape From Noise

Also I learned about a Japanese meme recently about the mayor of Tokyo and her thing about social distancing.

It's getting like remixed and someone made a game out of it

Escape From Noise

I biked from north to south Osaka today to get a growler fill at a favorite craft beer bar and bought some bottles at another place to help support local businesses. I wore a mask. Also made some online purchases.

Since we folk may be stuck inside, I encourage you to take and share photos next time! My bike is 4 hours away at the moment, so I rented a bike yesterday to pick up meds and wore vinyl gloves. I did not eat the gloves afterwards, because they were gross from the community handles.

It wasn't a very pretty ride. Mostly urban and getting from point a to point b.

Escape From Noise

I'm trying to pick up guitar again sorta. Mostly just dicking around but if anyone has any resources for just basic...I guess lessons? I'd be very appreciative of it!

Escape From Noise

I'm really glad you and the wife are safe.

I don't think testing is available. Or at least not openly. I think you need to get a referral from a doctor, but they've been instructed to not refer those who aren't at risk. I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. It may also be from exhaustion and stuff. I had a sports drink and I'm going to bed. If things worsen tomorrow I'll ask around and see what my options are.
