Friday April 24 2020 I’m too tired and distracted to comment on today. But I did make taco salad for dinner. That is all.

16. Cat COVID
Thursday April 23 2020 https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/covid-19/home You know, the numbers that popped out to me on today’s Ohio stat grid is the ICU admissions compared to the total deaths. I realize not all the deaths happened while in ICU, but those two stats are getting closer together. It makes it look like fewer people are recovering … Continue reading 16. Cat COVID
15. Sammy Sunday
Sunday April 19 2020 Sundays are our usual grocery day, mostly because I buy lunch meat for the week’s sandwiches and I want it as fresh as possible. But to be fully transparent here, it’s the latest I can put it off before starting the workweek. It’s difficult to grocery shop on weekdays. I feel … Continue reading 15. Sammy Sunday
14. Missing my mojito
Saturday April 18 2020 Today is my birthday and I don’t feel a day over 58. The years don’t bother me, really, because I’ve had friends who haven’t made it this far. Every day is a gift. I know this to be true. Still, as the years are bookmarked by this annual event, the day … Continue reading 14. Missing my mojito
13. Comparison
Thursday April 16 2020 Woke up in a brighter mood today, dunno why. I’m fighting the urge to cling to my smartphone or Kindle and to get stuff done instead. Before I plugged the smartphone into the charger, to get it out of my hands for a while, I did see a quote that was … Continue reading 13. Comparison
12. Dreams of falling
Wednesday April 15 2020 It’s said that if you’re falling in a dream, you’ll wake up before you hit the ground and die. Or instead you might move onto another dream. A recurring theme I have in my dreams shows up when I feel like life is out of my control. I’ll encounter a series … Continue reading 12. Dreams of falling
11. Not ok
Monday April 13 2020 I’m struggling here. It’s hard to focus, or actually I’m distracted by every little thing. I want to blame today’s mood on the poor sleep from last night. Still, my mood is down and has been for quite a while now. Talking with Derek yesterday afternoon, I realized that we’re all … Continue reading 11. Not ok
10. Sick news day
Saturday April 11 2020 Those in power have decided to change the way they’re collecting stats and I’m in a down mood today, so will just cut and paste from the state’s website. Don’t feel like typing much. The news on NPR yesterday morning was sick. Listened to the news stories instead of a podcast, … Continue reading 10. Sick news day
9. Easter is cancelled
Thursday April 9 2020 Ohio Confirmed cases: 5,512Deaths: 213 Stopped at the grocery this afternoon. Thought I could get by another day by mucking around with stuff from the freezer for dinner, but I needed mayonnaise for our tuna fish sandwiches tomorrow, last day of Lent and all. Good Friday is tomorrow and that surprise … Continue reading 9. Easter is cancelled
8. Gas cooties
Wednesday April 8 2020 Ohio Confirmed cases: 5,148Deaths: 193 Had to put gas in my car this afternoon. Finally did what I always thought about. Gas pump handles are nasty, they have got to be one of the biggest carrier of cooties without even mentioning the stink of gasoline on them. Today I wore latex … Continue reading 8. Gas cooties
