Year Four, Day 294, Pandemic Times Day 43, "Stay Home - Stay Safe" Day 30: "The Rona"!

Day 30 - One entire month of social isolation!



But according to Mike Pence, the end is in sight.  They will be doing more testing including drive through tests. Beginning tomorrow, there will be a drive through site at a high school in Beaverton. You do need a doctor's referral.

They are talking about our country being opened up by the end of May.

People on social media are showing negative reactions to the corona virus vaccine that is being developed. I have mixed feelings.

I actually went to Walmart with my daughter today. The first time in over 30 days. I wore my mask. I was pleased to see about half of the customers and all of the employees were masked up. We had to wait in line, standing in a green box that had been painted on the pavement, about 6 feet apart until an employee nodded us in. But oddly, once we entered the store, there was non further enforced social distancing. I'm glad I wore my mask!

However, I neglected to use hand sanitizer before my daughter and I went through the drive through at Taco Bell. We are both practicing intermittent fasting and our 5:00 eating window was about to close. So we ducked into the Taco Bell for a "celebratory" meal.

I was halfway through my triplelupa when my daughter looked at me and gasped.

"You didn't use hand sanitizer before you ate. We were at Walmart! You probably have the "Rona"!

Good grief. I hadn't even thought of that! next time I will pack hand sanitizer. If I don't get the Rona after Walmart, that is.

It truly is a different world.

But at least I have been running every day this week. Maybe if I run fast enough, the virus won't get me.

But maybe I should pack hand sanitizer just in case.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Love,

Zita

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

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!
