    I'm in an industry where States require us to work in the office. During the whole pandemic the States just didn't enforce the rules. Our owner gave us the option to come in on the 18th or June 1st. 4 people are coming back on 5/18. Everyone else wants to work from home until 6/1.

    Had that issue with my son too. He would pee all day on the toilet but wanted a pull up to poop. We made him sit on the toilet with a pull up to get the sensation of it. Then eventually we cut a hole in the pull up so he pooped in the toilet with a pull up on so he still had a sense of control...

    My 5 year old keeps asking if the doctors have figured out how China got the flu. I don't want to tell him its cause they eat bat shit soup. For the most part he is aware things are different but doesn't ask a whole lot. Helps that we go outside for walks and play on a swing set.

    You should watch legends. First season sucked but once they went campy and didn't take themselves seriously the show got good. I liked the cross over. Satisfying ending to arrow and I'm glad they combined the worlds and it will be interesting to see how the shows change in response to the crisis.
