How things are

There's been a lot of zooming going on....
Here's a sample....Monday's Max Challenge group...


It seems I can only do the live 6 a.m. class when I am still up from the night before. (Just finished this morning's and getting unwound for bed....)

Yes, the pandemic is still ongoing...although some states are easing up on the stay at home ahead of meeting the guidelines for doing so....

Tom went out for the chiropractor today and food shopping two days in a row so we are ready for the duration. (He only went in when it seemed a light amount of shoppers and safe).

We have started CONTACT at home so there's that and also SHIP people are starting to call in.

I am watching Outlander again (and it's amazing how much of it I didn't actually see the first time! I am happy) and also started The Office. We are watching and enjoying a lot of older movies we know and love.

I have zoomed with Sue and Patrick (dice and surprise party), Piscataway friends, book club, DEAR friends, a couple of HR Block-ers, country music people, and the aforementioned Max of Mt. Holly.

I am in the  midst of 3 books, none of which have caught my attention enough to finish in one sitting. :-(

Until they get a handle on this Covid-19 life is going to be very different.

It's hard to sleep.

CMA Music Fest Cancelled

Well, it wasn't unexpected and it is definitely the safest choice, but we will sure miss it this year.

We have been happily zooming most recently in a chat with Joanne and Dolly, but pretty much daily for a game or two of 5000 with Sue and Patrick (and happy 37th anniversary to them, by the way!)

Life under the coronavirus pandemic aura is not easy. Constant news coverage with the latest statistics and heartbreaking stories of death, unemployment, and irresponsible administration in government is overwhelming.

Tom and I worked on the lawn yesterday in the sunshine. I picked up sticks and he mowed. It was almost fun....a welcome change from being indoors watching tv and eating all day.

I need a new book.

HR Block is staying open through July15 now....though with less offices and people....certainly without me!

We are healthy enough, although Tom went out to the lab for blood tests the other day and he has to go in for a cystoscopy on the 15th. My fingers are crossed for no cancer like he thinks, but the doctor didn't seem as positive when he told us the cancer was back..... :-(

My hair. 'nuff said.  :-(
