Good Morning everyone, was just going to head to bed and thought I'd drop in and leave a note... Haven't been doing a lot around here, been rainy and kind of cruddy... So not a lot happening, but I do notice the green is getting greener which is great... So just maybe winter is gone now... Not that we can really prove it was a bad winter here...

Well, hope everyone is doing ok in Self Isolate... Please take care of yourself... and be careful... God Bless YOU all...
 
Good Morning,
Well, it's nice and sunny this morning, looks like a real spring day today... the first for a bit... Going to get the tractor going today, going to get the pool set up, so I don't lose any of the rain we get this month... Run around the property on the tractor, and pick up some of what Lorie's raked... That should be the day...

I hope YOU all have a wonderful day... Please keep safe, Self Isolate... and God Bless...

Found recipe for rice pudding in insta pot,,made it,am happy with it.

Managed to slip into grocery store this afternoon, pick up few things I thought we needed.
Bought home gallon of 1% milk,, as hubby hadn't been able to find skim.

Oop, he bought 2 gallons when he found it earlier this week.
Guess I thought he drank it all up?

You can freeze the extra. Just make sure you leave room in the container for expansion.
 
I've been having a fearful day. Got another food delivery and I imagined the delivery guy had the virus on his hands from handling things. Kept washing and disinfecting everything over and over. It actually wore me out. There are just so many things to wipe down...think I need a beer about now. I've got to try and stay calm.
 
Good morning!

Today I made my weekly outing with trips to the auto repair shop, Aldi's and Wegman's.

Going out once a week is becoming a very efficient event for someone that has nothing but time on their hands.

This morning I made half a dozen virus wipes using full-strength denatured alcohol, a few drops of Dawn and half sheets of paper towels in a plastic sandwich bag. It turned out that I did not need them because at every stop employees were wiping things down or offering a self-serve supply of wipes by the entrance.

I took the garbage and recyclables down to the parking garage checked the mail and hoisted my summer tires into my vehicle at 7:30 am.

I was impressed that the auto shop was taking social distancing seriously. They had a barrier in front of the service desk to keep people at a six-foot distance. They also had a gallon pump bottle of hand sanitizer within reach and they had removed all but two chairs from the waiting area. I was the only person in the waiting area but I noticed that two masked people had opted to sit outside in the morning sun. The studded snow tires are off and I don't have to worry about the possibility of a $175.00 fine and surcharge for running them out of season.

The next stop was Aldi. The store was well stocked and busy but the majority of the people were maintaining a safe distance and many were wearing protective masks and gloves.

The final stop was Wegman's again the store was well stocked busy and many more people wearing masks and scarves.

The masks seem to be becoming as much a fashion accessory as a protective shield. I noticed scarves and masks for sports teams, the Jolly Roger, giant red lips, black mustaches, old west style bandannas, etc...

Things have been wiped and put away my hands and face have been washed.

I'm already wondering if I caught the bug, only time will tell the tale.

Enjoy your day and try to stay safe!

I wonder if we all wonder if we caught it when we go in public or are around people in some form. Sounds like you are prepared and proactive..very good! That is such a good idea to have the papertowels with alcohol and dawn in a bag. If I happen to go somewhere I'm going to do that, too. I have lots of Dawn and the antibacterial one, too, even though it's not bacteria we fear but then the alcohol would kill it so that's good.

I take everything out of the containers they came in (if I can) and put them in gallon plastic bags--especially the veggies.

It's good to hear a store is well stocked. I think Target is too--I use them with Shipt delivery.

Times have become really crazy but if we take each day at a time, we'll get by.
 
Good morning all, how are we all keeping busy? Can't be just loafing around, this will pass and if we loaf we will all be meeting our friends and neighbors 10 lbs heavier eh?

I am planning a perennial garden bed, a lot of grunt work but will be worth it in the end. So will first have to get the "call before you dig guy" to come out and show me where I can dig and hope that where I have planned meshes with his plan.

Picked up taxes yesterday and they have an omission and said they will call me back. Darn, that means that probably they will have to do a correction to the tax people which will flag for an audit. They did this before!!!

How can one go into a crowded store and practice social distancing? I've heard some stores are limiting how may customers can enter at one time.

It's not difficult to maintain a six-foot distance or to hold your breath for a moment as you pass people in the aisle.

I had to hold back a minute or two for people to make a selection before they moved on but it was not difficult or inconvenient in light of the situation.

The markets have also taped the floor near the checkout to create a visual example of the distance to be maintained.
 
Dog food.

I recently started auto delivery with Amazon. So, my second delivery was due March 25th. Didn't show up, even tho' I got email that it did!

That night, I got another email saying March 26. Still no show. Rather than hassle in phone queue (which is a terrifying experience) with UPS for a ten dollar item, I ordered it from Chewy with 7 to 10 day wait!

So, when I ordered grocery for my pickup tomorrow, I got 4 cans to last until Chewy gets here.

Guess what was on my porch late yesterday? Yup, the missing case of Amazon dog food from UPS. Chewy comes tomorrow. I'll have 2 cases plus 4 cans on Friday night not to mention the 2 cans I have left.
