Monday I literally was so busy in my kitchen I didn't have time to think about the virus shut in situation. I am thankful for my lifestyle in those terms (self-sufficient as much as I can). The odd thing is, is that more of us are home bound, and my number of views on my blog have plummeted to an all time low. I'm still blogging despite.
I decided to change up my breakfast and make a batch of strawberry/blueberry pancakes.
The only downside to this pandemic for us right now, is finding organic flour and Einkorn flour. I found some online, but at horribly high prices. I hope they restock by the weekend.
I told Hubby, enjoy your cookies. You may not get them again, nor homemade pizza crust, and pancakes (rather anything I use it for). I'm rationing it.
Day 10 of self quarantine:
Tiger wanted fed at 4:30am. Anyone else have a cat like that? Then he curled up with me in bed.
Yesterday. County workers showed up to mulch the tree stumps. Essential? Apparently, they didn't hear about the 6 foot social distance rule. I guess everyone needs an income right now, but this is not essential work.
I was again so busy in the kitchen, that I actually missed the live press conference our governor does every day at 2pm. I didn't hear anything new, other than numbers are reducing, but so many are still working too. However, I just read numbers for Ohio. Cases increased, and two more deaths.
I was so busy that I only got a 1 mile walk in vs. 2.
Another Amazon order arrived. Thankfully, wild organic rice arrived. Once again, I sprayed down the package, emptied it, sprayed again, and discarded the packaging.
We've been jokingly discussing where we'd contain ourselves "if" one would get sick. We called which room we'd have etc. Funny, yet not funny.

I didn't hoard the last time I went but I always have a pretty good stockpile. Good luck!
Today we watched a Walton's marathon on Hallmark. We've got chicken drumsticks in the oven that we're going to eat with hot sauce and corn.
Saw a video the other day that we should be eating fresh meats right now and need to either toss out any meats we have in the freezer or make sure to cook it all thoroughly because the virus can live in those frozen goods for months until it's fully cooked, so I'm keeping that in mind too.
And I've been praying for those in need, for those children separated at our southern border, are they sick? Are their parents ok? Praying their families are restored soon. Praying for our indigenous tribe Nations, often left to fend on their own in times like this. Praying for the elderly, disabled and military because sometimes they have no one to help them, especially military with PTSD. Praying for those who are being abused right now, for them to find a way to healthy safety.
So many things running through my mind.
And prayers you all have a good week - safe, healthy, happy.
God bless you all.
