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.

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.

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 😂.
