Sheltering in Place – Day 22
This will be brief since I have been going since 5:30 this morning. Today hubby went in for an angioplasty, a procedure to make the heart function better. A miracle, for sure. It uses a balloon to widen an artery and not the kind you get at a party. For those squeamish, you might want…

Sheltering in Place – Day 21
Today is Sunday and time for a few laughs from the past. This one just never gets old. Steve Martin on the Johnny Carson show in The Great Flydini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9xKU8eYCFk

Sheltering in Place – Day 20
In these times of stress, I am trying to keep my life smaller and simpler. And remember to be grateful. We will get through this, I know. We just have to wash our hands and ride it out. But here are five things that help me do that almost daily. Things that make me feel…

Sheltering in Place – Day 16
I’m cranky. I admit it. But I think we’re all on edge. I’m going to try to be a little kinder to anyone I see, as long as they don’t step into my six-foot social distancing space or cough on me. If they do, however, look out, buster. So here’s a little distraction. Nothing like…

Sheltering in Place – Day 14
We can relate, even though it’s only day 14. From the Funny Cat Diary Secret Cat Diary DAY 752 — My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope…

Sheltering in Place – Day 10
Having been sent to my room by the world’s goings-on, I find myself trying to control more and more of my little, teeny-weeny life and everything in it. I make sure Norman is wearing his mask and gloves before he goes out. And that he carries his hand sanitizer. And that he peels his gloves…

Sheltering in Place – Day 9 or is it 90?
Got up early and went back to my favorite neighborhood grocery store. Armed with mask, sanitizer, and gloves, I went in. Got a few groceries, found out they have no paper products unless you count diapers. I have no need to get creative with paper diapers yet, so I moved on. Besides, I am loaded…

Sheltering in Place – Day 6
We went out early between 8 and 9 this morning to the supermarket. Senior shopping time. They had almost all supplies, including rubber gloves and TP (I don’t need any, see Blog – Day 1), with the exception of hand sanitizer. They no longer let you bring your own bags but they bag up your…

Sheltering in Place – Day 5
Today is a better day and the sun is shining! Hubby and his doc worked out the dosage of Norm’s meds and not to jump the gun, but it looks like this might do the trick. Eventually, when the CV19 dies down a little, he will probably go in for some tests. But for now,…

Sheltering in Place – Day 3
I have become The Accidental Hoarder. I thought I’d order 6 rolls of TP on Amazon but somehow ordered 60. When this huge box arrived, I was shocked! We already had 7 on hand so now the total is 67. I have no idea where to put all these rolls. After all, we do live…

“Sheltering In Place” – Day 1
So here I am with a Type A Personality husband being told we are to Shelter In Place for the next three weeks to help prevent the spread of CV19. In some ways, it has been made easier by the fact that almost every place near and dear to hubby’s heart has been told to…
