Year Four, Day 265: Pandemic Times, Day 14- "Stay Home, Stay Safe" Proclamation, Day 2, Part 2

7 p.m.

Hello! 

I'm back again. Just woke up from a deep sleep. I have noticed my afternoon naps are much deeper and more refreshing than my nighttime slumber. Naps are a big positive side of these pandemic times!

My latest routine is something like this:

8:30 a.m. Qi Gong/Hooping work out in basement.
8:45 a.m. Walk in park/Bible reading and prayer
9:30 a.m. Wash up and clean kitchen. Drink hit tea with ginger and lemon.
10:00 a.m. Make breakfast and chaffles
11:00 a.m. Breakfast (still following monastic eating plan. Today is vegetarian day.)
11:30 Spend time with granddaughter. Yesterday we had a piano lesson. Today we colored, ran around screaming, trying to "catch" the light made by a flashlight. At one point, I also had to chase my granddaughter, retrieve the black sharpie she had gotten hold of, and then scrub the stripes off of her and Honey Dog. She managed to make matching zebra stripes on both her and the dog in a matter of about 40 seconds!
1:00 Lunch. Today I made roasted Cajun sweet potatoes with cauliflower rice.
1:30 Set-up for piano lesson (s)
2:00 Skype piano lesson. After the lesson, I text message my student with a sticker and homework.
3:00 Snack while watching the news.Today I had popcorn and a diet coke and a bit of ice cream. I think I'm eating too much popcorn. Drinking too much Duet Coke too. I'm fighting the pandemic 15 I fear. Sigh.
4:00 Nap
6:00 Dinner. Today is bean soup with goldfish crackers. Note to self: I am eating too many goldfish crackers. More tea.
7:00 Clean up. Shower. Playtime with my granddaughter. Talk to my son on the phone. Play the piano. Study ukulele. 
9:00 Check email, social media and the news.
10:00 Read a book or watch a movie. Yesterday I binge watched Criminal Minds episodes.
11:30 Bed

Of course, sometime during the day, I write posts for my blog!

Here are today's stats. I posted these at 7:30.a.m.and 7:30 pm to show how the virus spread in 12 hours:

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...
