#oneaday Day 472: Lockdown

Well, we're officially locked down. Well, okay, we're not quite locked down, but it's as near as dammit.

From this evening onwards, we apparently are not allowed to leave our homes except for "essential shopping, as infrequently as possible", one form of outdoor exercise per day, any medical need and "essential" work. (This means not you, GameStop… not that we actually have you here, but whatever.)

This is an interesting time to be living through, for sure. As I mentioned a few days ago, I feel oddly calm about the whole situation, despite the risks — and last night's realisation that I may have actually already had this thing probably helps with that — and that allows me to sort of observe what's going on with a certain amount of curiosity.

And, of course, frustration that people not taking the situation seriously means that we have to have Big Daddy Boris tell us all that we're grounded. I wonder if this will have any impact on the stupid shop situations; I went to Tesco earlier to go and pick up a prescription and the toilet paper shelves were completely bare. Like, not a single pack there. We presently have eight and a bit rolls left. I may have to ration my poos. Unthinkable.

Anyway. That's what's going on. Outside of that, hopefully tomorrow I should have another article going live on NintendoLife — it was originally supposed to go live on Friday, but they wanted to clickbait the shit out of Animal Crossing, so it's been pushed back several days, much to my frustration (and my considerable apologies to poor old localisers Fruitbat Factory, who are quite keen to see the review!).

But hopefully it absolutely definitely probably should happen tomorrow, and regardless of whether it does or not, I'll also be writing about the work in question on MoeGamer tomorrow, too.

On that note, I guess we better lock the doors or something. Have a happy quarantine!
