My Pandemic Life
Since its Thursday, do yoga series 5; check Amazon deliveries; weed the lettuce; check the on-line medication order.
Listen to news. How many newly dead in the state? in the nation? in the world? Check CDC website for updates. On-line newspaper updates, Send donations to Church and to Food Bank.

Ignore the calendar. Don’t count the days.
Check school district website. Is there a change? If schools are open we want to be there. Research Kawasaki Disease.
Since its Thursday, put on gloves, mask, take car for its weekly drive. Don’t think about the olden days, when drives to restaurants or movies were every day easy.
Buy new hair trimmer; I’m sure it was the trimmer’s fault that J’s hair turned out that way.

Tell R about dream of trying to attend five different on-line funerals at once. I’m learning part of our love used to depend on our coming home to each other from different work worlds. Find some new reasons to enjoy each other.
