Covid-19 Days – 57

There are signs on the highway signal boards that read, “Save Lives. Essential Travel Only.” What am I doing out here then? I am out here killing people!

It was my mom’s idea to go visit my brother. We went for lunch and just a visit to see if he’s doing well. He is doing well.

It was a bit cold today which is a great feeling on the walk. A brisk breeze. Yesterday we had a hail storm. I heard it hitting the house and it sounds different. I looked outside and there was hail stuffing up the gutter. Just a weird set of weather so far during these troubling times.

Covid-19 Days – 56

This is counting days is giving me the Iran Hostage Crisis feelings of my youth. That one went 444 days. Doesn’t it feel like we’re going to break it?

I’m trying to clean up around the house. Needing to throw things out. Does anyone know if the dump is still open?

Yesterday, I tried my hand at fried riced cauliflower. Today was a different experiment. Still with riced cauliflower, but this time I went with turmeric and paprika. It was alright, but I should’ve put some chicken in as well.

We find out today that some of Donald Trump’s entourage has caught the rona. Is it too hopeful to wish it strikes that dude down? There is no god if that doesn’t happen.

Whelp. Need to straighten up what I messed up in the home office…

Covid-19 Days – 55

Checking in before bed. So normal now that it’s no longer fun. Well, at least I went for a walk in the nice sunshine. And I cooked up a fried cauliflower rice dish. Something old and something new.

Covid-19 Days – 54

Aww dang. We’re coming up to two months — seven weeks so far. No end in sight.

The economy is cratering and I can’t but wonder why. If this world was all about spending nothing is right. We need to change that.

I don’t know. It’s just messed up.

Covid-19 Days – 53

I saw someone mention day 53 lockdown and I knew that I was also at that number. You got two yesterday. You get this one today, and it may be as lame as the previous one. YMMV.

Let’s see… the US is still leading the way in rona cases as well as in deaths. Other nations (Italy, Spain) that were hit hard seem to have controlled it better. Not here in the US. We are the greatest at dying from the rona. It seems that is what Donald Trump and the Republicans want. I’m sure not many others share their views. Sadly, they are in control of this country at least for the next few months. Perhaps, by next year they will either be in retirement or dead. Either way suits me.

Nothing more to report. It’s the same shit different day.

Covid-19 Days – 52

Count yourselves lucky. You get two posts today! Huzzah!

Not that I did anything today. Just another day working from home. I am thinking about upgrading to a standup desk. Maybe. We’ll see.

Covid-19 Days – 51: A Day Late and a Dollar Short

Oops. I missed a day. Am I starting to slack?

I realized this when I woke up this morning. I went to bed early last night and completely forgot. I was fast asleep by 10 PM. I wanted to get as much sleep as possible. I think I slept for at least 8 hours!

So, this post should be the first of two today. What I did yesterday? Cooked some arrozcaldo and contemplated the beautiful weather. What will I do today? You’ll have to wait at least 12 hours to find out… more next time!

Covid-19 Days – 50!

I went out and enjoyed this beautiful day. Bought some sushi and took it over to my mom’s as she wished. I think I bought too much, but it was still good. And it was a good day, too. Very much the perfect spring day.

It’s going be tougher to keep the masses indoors with spring showing up. We need the sun. We need the fresh air. We just need to move around.

I think we understand the danger. Life keeps moving forward. I think we all want to as well. It’s complicated.

Covid-19 Days – 49

Not much to report today. I really wanted to curl back up in bed, but I had to get up and out to pick up my prescription at the drug store. Unfortunately, they were late on the second one and they will have it ready at another time…

Look! It’s ready already. Great. I’m home and don’t want to go out. Seems like I have something for tomorrow.

Covid-19 Days – 48

Now we’re onto the 48 Group day!

Not much to report today. It was raining all day. I guess I’m not gonna complete Apple Activity’s April Challenge: walk 107 miles. I’m short a couple. I bet I would’ve completed if it wasn’t raining. I could’ve gone for a couple walks today. As it is I spent it all day parked at the desk for work.

The weather has been rather cool for these days of being locked up. And it has rained a bunch — like every two days or so. I really don’t take note of it, because I don’t get out of the house much. Still when I do, I know that I’m usually under dressed for the weather. My walks get cold. I wonder how it will be next month?
