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

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 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!

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...
