Animal Crossing Readathon Days 7-9: Corona Crisis?

Day 7: March 15

Did not read at all today. But my boyfriend and I got a new shelf for our living room. Now all of our books officially have a home! We went to Target to pick up the shelf and while the parking lot didn't seem any more crowded than normal, people were scrambling to buy food. All the chicken noodle soup was gone, canned tuna was gone, pasta was gone, but there was a surprising overabundance of mac and cheese. Why doesn't anybody want the mac the cheese? They are limiting toilet paper to one per customer and I am starting to worry that when we do run out there will be none left anywhere. I am planning to stay home unless I need groceries or need to pick up prescriptions.

Day 8: March 16

Woke up with a pretty bad migraine for my first day of school for the semester. Yay! Don't worry, I do not have the virus. I get migraines at least once per month due to a chronic illness. I'm fine, I keep up with my medication, just  Luckily, my program is completely online to begin with. Just about every school is now moved to online or closed completely due to the virus. I hope people stay safe. I did my introduction for class and some of the readings in the "Mastering Strategic Management" textbook. But I do not think I will count those pages as part of the readathon. They textbook even removed the author's name which I found strange. I'm hopeful that this class will be better than my last one, which felt like we did not go in depth enough on the ethics involved with environmental science.

I have been catching up on laundry today as much as possible. I managed to read a chapter of Clockwork Angel while putting some of that away.

Day 9: March 17

As soon as I got up I starting prepping dinner in the crock pot. We got a corned beef for Saint Patrick's day and I wanted to make sure I put it in early enough for it to be in there 10 hours and be ready at a reasonable time for dinner.
I also made myself some kind of a schedule to stick to. School work in the morning and then reading or whatever else the rest of the day. I got a lot done and was a lot more productive by having the idea that once the clock hit twelve I could eat lunch and relax for the day.
Managed to finish what I needed to for school and finish Icing on the Lake as well. It was a cute winter read. I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. I also read a bit more in Clockwork Angel, which seems to be a theme for each day. Must read at least one chapter!
My new phone case also came in today. It's a Pela case and it is 100% compostable! I had one on my old phone and I never had any problem with it. My Pura Vida Bracelets order came in too. I got my monthly pack featuring Saint Patrick's day themed bracelets and I also ordered myself the bee charm bracelet and the sloth charm bracelet. I ordered an extra sloth charm bracelet for my Aunt too since she loves sloths. I'm going to save it for her birthday in August. 
Dinner turned out delicious! I added cabbage to the crock pop about 2 hours before it was finished and I also roasted some potatoes and carrots in the oven. Yum!
