Day #3723 (Mon., Mar. 16, 2020) – Worst Day Since 1987
Bobby was crying about 1 or 2 am this morning so I went into his room to check on him. He said that his leg hurt. I’m not sure what this is all about, because he has woken up in the middle of the night complaining about his leg once or twice before now… I just lied down with him and soon he was out. No need to wake my wife up for this one…
My wife is working from home today and the kids are home from school today as well. I personally think that this will be going on for months…but we’ll see. Unless the schools can figure out a way to have online classes there will be no more “grade 4” for Katie or “frog class” for Bobby.
Today was another down day as far as the markets are concerned (see photo to the left). Trump mentioned that this could go on well into the summer and they just tanked… Worries about the coronavirus outbreak sent the Dow plunging 2,997 points, or 12.9%. The S&P 500 plummeted 12%, its worst day since 1987.
I got a tiny fridge for my bedroom. I will now be able to store some food and have supplies to make a cup of coffee.
