Year Four, Day 259: Pandemic Times, Day 8 - #TakeThatCoronavirus!

Day 8. California is locked down. The people are all ordered to shelter in place. I have a feeling Oregon and Washington are next.

My family and I are ready. I am fully supportive of stay at home orders. It seems like there are so many people that are not taking this virus seriously.

All you have to do is look at the stats to take this virus seriously. And these numbers only reflect those that have been tested!

Covid-19 Stats 3/19/2020
246,840
Total Confirmed Cases 
10,179
Total Deceased
 170195 Total countries affected

Compared to yesterday:
Covid-19 Stats 3/18/2020

Pandemic aside, I had a very productive day. I started with a very refreshing hooping session in the park. I only ran into one other person. And we kept a wide berth when we walked past each other.

Today was the first day of spring. The air felt fresh in my lungs, birds were chirping happily. An alien visitor would not suspect an evil menace lurking microscopically among us.

I have faith we will conquer
 Especially if people listen to the authorities
 Martial law? Bring it on!

I taught my first Skype student today. It was great fun, although I do need to work with the lighting surrounding my piano and stop talking so loud!

But there are some fun features to Skype lessons: I was able to text my student her assignment and give her a virtual sticker. It was a very productive lesson. I am not letting this virus keep me down
 Take that coronavirus! I wonder if there is a hash tag for that?.There should be!

On that note, I need to sign off. I am working working on a pandemic playlist on the piano. I have a list of nearly 50 praise songs, hymns, classical pieces, a little blues and classic rock songs that I find healing and uplifting.

And I have another Skype piano lesson tomorrow afternoon after my granddaughter babysitting shift.

God is good and so is this God-given life.

#TakeThatCoronavirus!

Stay healthy, strong and positive.

Until tomorrow,

Zita

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
