What a Difference a Day Makes

So yesterday morning when I wrote my blog post, we had decided to stay away from the casinos for a while and kind of self-quarantine ourselves except for going out to get food.  By yesterday evening, things had changed significantly.  All of our schools are closed (that's 300,000 kids wandering around Vegas now!), and half of the casinos on the Strip have now closed (I think it's only a matter of time before ALL of the casinos close).  Our military base is closed to everyone except mission-essential personnel, all events are cancelled, and many places around our city have shut down like the library system and all senior centers.  This is the first time ever that Las Vegas has essentially shut down and there appears to be no end in sight for these closures.  Hubby is already going stir crazy (he loves to be out and about, playing poker with his poker buddies or bowling with his leagues or even just wandering around the Dollar Store looking at everything).  When I told him the UK is considering quarantining the elderly for four months...needless to say he wasn't happy about that idea.  So I guess the situation is what it is.  We will hang out at home, I may try ordering food from Sprouts or Amazon Fresh instead of going to the stores, and we will just wait and see what happens.  If you are staying home for the time being, here are some interesting ways to pass the time...

    1. I found it on Facebook but when I tried to find it online so I could click the links, that website at the bottom of the list wasn't working.
