Rain, Chai tea and Social Distancing

Rain, Chai tea and Social Distancing - March 22nd, 2020

March 22nd, 2020 - Sunday

Day 4 of ordered mandatory stay at home. Here's my thoughts summed up:

1. Online church was really good this morning,

2. It's raining again,

3. Spectrum cable outage sucks 😖,

4. The neighbors downstairs are so loud.

5. Running low on a few groceries. Strategizing on best way and time to try to get them.

6. Trying to figure out how I'm not going to gain back the weight I've lost.

Just another day in quarantine.

Here's a few pics of my one outing to the grocery store, Starbucks drive through and a social distance quick visit with my daughter Amy.

I waited 25 minutes in that line. Don't judge lol

This is as close as we got <sigh>

And of course..my housemates lol

Sam and Mia are adjusting to having me home. At first they were a little confused I'm thinking. Sam would pace and Mia would well...yell at me. Just stand there and yowl at me. Probably asking me why I wasn't leaving for work so they could do whatever they do all day. I definitely felt like I was invading their space. But as you can see they've settling down and have been wonderful company.

My kingdom for some toilet paper - March 13th, 2020

March 13th, 2020 On March 11th, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID19 as a pandemic. COVID19 has reached Italy and the numbers of those affected, hospitalized and dying are exploding. It is shocking, sad and very scary. People here in the US and in Southern California are in a panic raiding the grocery stores and hoarding supplies has become a thing. The paper goods aisles are completely ransacked. It's insane. Toilet paper is no where to be found. I am eyeing the few rolls I have and thinking I'll need to ration. My company is making preparations to move us all to home based. I am so concerned about our patients and our N.P.'s and M.D.'s that are seeing them. There is a Nationwide shortage of PPE they need to stay safe. It seems the public have been hoarding masks (including N95's), gloves, hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes. This may get ugly. Me, Sara...

Our new normal - April 1st, 2020

Our new norm.... Wearing masks when you must venture out... but mind you this does NOT mean disposable masks and definitely NOT N95's as those are desperately needed by healthcare providers on the front lines. A cloth mask will work or even a bandana will do in a pinch. Here's a link to a good tutorial:. How to make a cloth mask The idea is to protect yourself and others as some are asymptomatic COVID19 and have no idea. That population could be anyone, even you or me. So stay home, wash your hands, practice social distancing and protect yourself and others. NY Times article on wearing face coverings

Laughing is better than crying

Yes, it's okay and healthy to laugh! Here are a few outlets for you...all PG rated. The Holderness Family on YouTube. If you haven't checked them out, you must. Penn and Kim Holderness and their two kids make the best videos. Their music video parodies are hilarious and a welcome distraction. They're also on Facebook and Instagram. Binge watching your favorite comedies on TV. If all else fails just Google "autocorrect fails". That outta do it 😂.
