Quarantine kitties and treasure hunts - April 5th, 2020

April 5th, 2020 - Day 18


Day 18 on lockdown.  Let's just call it what it is.  The authorities are calling it "mandatory stay at home". But in reality it's a lockdown, stay the heck at home unless you absolutely have to leave the house i.e. go get groceries then wear a face covering.  As well we should.  I am.  

Here is Sam and Mia, my quarantine buddies.  I am so glad to have them with me.  I can talk to them and they'll meow back.  Actually Mia more like yells at me. Lol.   They were so confused at first when I wasn't leaving for work but we've settled in to our new return and they let me share my bed.  The only annoying things they're doing is walking across my keyboard and insisting on playtime when I'm trying to work.  Both very annoying.  So I bought a $35 remote control toy with feathers attached.  It arrived from Amazon today.  I charged it up and...Mia just watched it and Sam is a little curious but mostly scared of it.  Hmmm.....

Yesterday I cleaned out my hall closet and came across these little treasures...
It's like Christmas!  

This weekend I cleaned all my Bakelite...a huge job but reminded why I love it so much.  
I started on my kitchen but ran out of steam.  Maybe this week.  Not like I'll be going anywhere.

Glass half full - April 1st, 2020

April 1st, 2020 - day whatever.... Okay, it's day 14.  Two weeks!  Ugh 😝.  Had someone told me a year ago we would be going through a pandemic, I wouldn't have believed it.  I'm reminded often of how I took life for granted...how easy it was to go grocery shopping, to my art supply store, to meet my best friend for coffee, to church on Sunday morning, to work.  I could hug a friend and while I've been a germaphob for years (nurse thing) and have always been a huge handwasher, I haven't ramped it up to this degree to the point where my skin is dry and raw.   What I would give to have my normal life back.  It'll be a long time before I complain about having to grocery shop, groan about my commute to work, or even think about skipping church.  I long for normal.   Meanwhile, here we are.  I remind myself to count my blessings of which there are many..so here goes: 🔸I am asymptomatic 🔸So are my kids, grandkids, my family and fri...

Simple pleasures - March 23rd, 2020

March 23rd, 2020 - day 5 I scored some pasta today at the store so tonight I stuffed my face.  After a week of canned soup, cereal and whatever frozen food was leftover in the freezer section, this spaghetti tasted unbelievably good!!!  Buon appetito!

Not enough PJ bottoms - March 28th, 2020

March 28th, 2020 - Day 10 It's Saturday and I'm wiped out. Physically, mentally, emotionally.  I am living COVID19 daily not just personally but professionally with my patients.  I am worried about them, about my countless friends that are healthcare providers on the front lines, about my two nieces that are also hospital based.  I feel the weight of the world and yes, I've cried this week....over the plight of America's nurses and doctors working without adequate PPE, over the deaths in Europe and NYC and yes, with one of my patients.   I realize I've been living in my PJ bottoms and T-shirts...daytime jammies and nighttime jammies.  So tonight I did my hair and yes, it helps a little.   Tomorrow is a new day...at home.                        At least my hair is fly
