Mostly, I am concerned about my loved ones and everyone in the world who is affected. Also, I sort of broke my kitchen faucet yesterday and had a mini meltdown over that. Not the end of the world, but it's how I wash dishes and was going to be how I hooked up my portable washing machine I got so I could avoid the laundromat. I need to see if I can find a way to fix it myself I guess. My leasing office is closed indefinitely and you can still put in for emergency maintenance, but I feel bad making someone come to my apartment right now and it's not exactly an emergency. At least I have a bathroom sink still.
In good news my therapist is offering me weekly sessions now (we usually do biweekly) over teletherapy. I feel quite fortunate in that regard because I could use the support. I am also glad that she will be able to continue working. I think a lot of medical and mental health professionals are going this route. Sending everyone compassion.

During these trying times, I think it helps to identify and to mention any silver lining. Thank you for mentioning a plus with your therapist.
I thought my kitchen faucet was broken yesterday. I was thinking about who I could have to come to fix it, keeping in mind the fact that our doors are closed to anyone/everyone, I do have a nephew who works as a plumber. yet, he has had so many contacts with people. I messed with the faucet and it is okay this morning.
It's definitely a concern. What if we need repair services?
If you'd rather fix it yourself, there are many online manuals as videos, too.
I hope this gets sorted out for you!
