Year Four, Day 261: Pandemic Times, Day 10- Compliance

Year Four, Day 261: Pandemic Times, Day 10- Compliance - Please Stay Home

10 days of isolation. The only time I leave my house is early in the morning for exercise. I do Qi Gong breathing exercises and work out with a weighted hula hoop. In the city park across the street. With no one to keep me company but the birds. I'm o.k. So is my family. I am happy to make this sacrifice for them, for our planet. But not everyone is taking this virus seriously. Not everyone is complying with our government leaders recommendations. I am expecting these recommendations to be orders soon.

Look at these stats:

Covid-19 Stats 3/21/2020

307,487
Total Confirmed Cases

13,102

Total Deceased

172/195 Total countries affected

Compared to yesterday:

Covid-19 Stats 3/20/2020

277,500
Total Confirmed Cases

11,485

Total Deceased

172/195 Total countries affected

Compared to March 11, 2020, the day the

day the World Health Organization declared covid-19 a pandemic:

Covid-19 Stats 3/11/2020

118,000
Total Confirmed Cases

4,000

Total Deceased

114/195 Total countries affected

So, the cases and deaths globally have essentially tripled in 10 days. I am concerned.

Oregon is supposed to be sheltering in place. My family has been staying home here in Vancouver, WA, even though it has not been ordered to do so - for about 10+days.

Then I read about all the people flocking to the coast on spring break. That is unfair to the residents of the small coastal towns.

I am holding my breath. I fear the numbers are about to increase drastically.

Please stay home, friends. For all of us.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love,

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...
