We got my car out of quarantine (via trailer) and have a friend working on it. I picked up limbs, branches (some 20-some feet long), twigs and sticks, while Hubby finished up the mowing.
I am thankful for the folks donating masks to first responders and the like vs. those making them just for income. I found a gal who is making one for my one brother for free. Our state is requiring that we wear one in stores etc. and may be wearing them for more than a year. I'll be spending more time at home, and spending way less money on take out for sure. I mean, how in the world can restaurants afford to operate with 10 customers and how in the world can we go in wearing a mask and eat a meal at the same time?
The clerks and restaurant employees wearing gloves is a joke too. Unless they are changing them between every customer, wearing gloves is not protecting the buyer one bit.
Today I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather outside is . . .
High of 60° and sunny. I still have the wood stove going.
How I'm feeling this morning . . .
I bit depressed, as Hubby went back to work today. Not sure if they will continue the 2 weeks off/on now that out state is lifting the shut-in order May 1st.
On my mind . . .
Well, what isn't on my mind? Seriously, at a time like this. Will I ever get to hug my Mom or Dad, sit around a table at a family gathering? Hold my grand kids? Dance at a bar? Participate in a bike week in our state? Get a trip to the island, cabin in the hills or cabin in TN this year? Sell at a craft show?
On the breakfast plate. . .
Coconut flour pancakes and sausage because my waffle maker no worky. They taste the same, but don't have the height.
On my reading pile . . .
On the TV . . .
Whatever we find interesting on netflix (if we can get it to work, since the internet is off and on lately).
On the menu . . .
-soup beans, fried cabbage
-walleye/perch and homemade fries
-bruschetta chicken, salt and vinegar potatoes, beets
-not sure on the rest yet
From the camera . . .
Looking around the house . . .
It's looking a less bit cramped. Our daughter who moved back in is slowly getting her belongings upstairs.
Chore I am not looking forward to this week . . .
To be honest I'm looking forward to any chore right now. It keeps me moving and keeps myself in a routine.
To relax I will . . .
Porch time, crochet, or knit. Bake. It makes me happy.
Prayers. . .
Mom, Dad (elderly shut in), one brother (first responder), the president, the world, us, a new baby born into our family and no one can see him yet.
Comments
We are lucky here (we live so remote that no-one wants to travel here), our restrictions are limited to 10 people (not incl immediate family) and no forced shut ins. We have only had 28 cases in my state, no deaths, and no person to person transmission. All cases have been off cruise ships into the capital, or travellers returning home from OS.
Feeling very blessed to live in the best country in the world right now, that's for sure! Feeling very sorry for the USA and other EU countries that are seeing thousands or cases and hundreds of deaths, it is unfathomable.
We still have the fear and worry here (single mama to two immune compromised kiddos), but it is not overwhelming.
Have you been able to FaceTime the new baby? Just think of how very sweet that first cuddle will be when you get to have it xx
I find I am getting in more reading,, and currently we are having some nice weather,, so I play outside as much as I can..
hugz
