Watching the Mayo Clinic researcher (on CNBC, Squakbox) discuss Convalescent Plasma for Covid19.  The researcher said that the idea has been around since the 1800s.  Gilead also is a company with a possible treatment.  So wonderful to have some good news.

I am going to work today with my last day of guaranteed pay.  It feels so strange, but I have over 200 hours of PTO saved and will work at least 10 hours a week.  (I am contracted for 20 hours.) Many of of my full time colleagues have gotten good redeployments, and I am happy about this.  My office mate A. (also part time) doesn't have a ton of PTO, so I am going to let her work each Tuesday (our shared day).  Both of us will take a shift measuring staff temperatures on Saturday. I will cover the office M/F and she will do TWTh. We take care of any mailed in hearing aids, any lost devices, in-patients, billing questions.  I miss my patients and work colleagues!

I also miss Lilly:

But I didn't miss her at 3 am.

This is what we woke up to this morning!  Should be gone by the time Ken comes home from work.  It isn't on the roads etc. (ACTUALLY GONE BY 11:30 when I left work)

Today starts "clean the house day " now that we don't have Lilly.  Anna is my hero.  She did a mass cleaning and declutter.  Not showing her bed, since she is still asleep.  (I am doing this post before work.)
