Sheltering in Place – Day 54
Hubby has started calling me his Decontaminatrix. This is because I am always trying to decontaminate anything that comes into the house, us when we leave the house, us when we return to the house, and the surrounding world in general. Today hubby had his first gig since the shelter-in-place mandate took place. He was…

Sheltering in Place – Day 50
Today we had an adventure! And how my adventures have changed recently. A little more than two months ago, I was doing things like cruising through the Panama Canal and watching the engineering feat of locks up close and personal. Then we visited the rain forests of Costa Rica. I even saw a sloth! Or…

Sheltering in Place – Day 41
Today Hubby and I went to Lucky’s at midday on a Sunday. Nutso, right? We were driving up to San Francisco to have a sidewalk visit with hubby’s 95-year-old mother and her granddaughter, our niece. How did we wind up at Lucky’s? Niece asked up to bring up some milk. That’s what it started with.…

Sheltering in Place – Day 34
I have decided I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. So I concentrate on the days when they’re gorgeous and sunny, the fresh air, the flowers. I try to write. It has helped. But still. We have suffered a loss. Hubby’s sister passed away two weeks ago Sunday from Covid19. Yes, she was not in…

Sheltering in Place – Day 32
There was a lot of excitement around here today. Our big shipment of groceries for the coming weeks arrived at 1 pm. Of course, the process started at 10:30 am, when the shopper texted me saying he was beginning. The process consisted of him gathering together the items I ordered or substitute items in case…

Sheltering in Place – Day 23
I can’t get the hang of this ordering online thing. I either accidentally order in huge quantities (remember the TP) or order the same thing repeatedly. I now have three shipments of face masks coming from three different companies at three separate times. I have no idea how I did that. Of course, these delivery…

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 19
Remember those extra rolls of TP I accidentally ordered a few weeks back? Not only did we supply neighbors with some, but today we drove the 55 miles up to San Francisco to bring hubby’s 95-year-old mother and her caregiver/granddaughter (our niece) 10 rolls. Right now in SF you cannot get TP for love nor…

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 15
Okay. We have another 30 days of this shelter-in-place thing. We can do it. I am so confident in this, I am offering to be one of the cheerleaders of our group. However, I’m not that thrilled with the cheerleaders on the left. First of all, who wears their hair that long anymore? I think…

Sheltering in Place – Day 12
Today I’m having a Singalong with “Night and Day” the song from The Gay Divorcee, a timeless classic with singing, dancing, and fun. Created waaaay back in 1934, it starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Just skip through those pesky ads. This is so worth it. Of course, I have written some…

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…
