Year Four, Day 265: Pandemic Times, Day 14- "Stay Home, Stay Safe" Proclamation, Day 2, Part 1- Good News

Good Morning, Friends!

Today's stats are:

427,017
Total Confirmed Cases
 18,925
Total Deceased
(3/25/2020, 6:00 a.m.)
As compared to yesterday:
423,867
Total Confirmed Cases
 18,874
Total Deceased
(7:00 p.m., 03/24/2020)

I woke up to much news! One bit if very good news for our country: The Senate and the White House have finally reached an agreement in stimulus checks!
"An agreement is not yet law, there are still quite a few steps before we can fire up the printing presses for the checks.
This deal was reached between Senators negotiating with the White House and is expected to pass the Senate quickly."

I admit, I breathed a sigh of relief when unread this. I am hoping that people Wil obey the mandates by their state governments to stay at home until this virus is contained. I also hope for a federal "Stay at Home - Stay Safe" mandate. I hope. I pray.

It is 6:00 a.m. I feel hope. But I also feel the need for more sleep. I'll check in again later, after my morning walk.

Talk to you soon!

Peace and Health,

Zita

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...

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,  ...
