Doing Well

March 14th, 2020 at 11:11 am

I actually feel better now that I have canceled travel plans and working at the election. I still have my symptoms but losing the stress has been very beneficial.

Our governor closed all schools for the next two weeks, and all the museums, etc. are closing, too. No crowds above 1000 are allowed. So it's like everyone is in quarantine with me.

I believe that many voting sites may not be able to open due to the lack of judges, but I hear that the early voting site, which is already set up and running, may stay open through Election Day in order to compensate. Thank goodness I voted early! I hope many did, and that many took advantage of voting by mail.

I will get tested when they get the mobile sites going. As for now, my symptoms are light, and I don't feel any urgency to know exactly what it is. I know I'm not going anywhere. It's easy for me, being retired, to adapt to a self-quarantine.

I made a batch of chicken burrito filling yesterday. I ate one serving and froze the rest in individual containers. I still have French onion soup in the freezer, and about half of a large pizza. I have veggies, tuna, cheese, oatmeal, bread, English muffins, bacon, eggs, almond milk -- I think I'm set! My son will get anything I need, but I don't really anticipate needing anything.

I have two books on hand to read after I finish my current book. But I read a lot, so I have it in the back of my mind that if I do indeed run out, I will buy something from Amazon. Can't give up the reading.

I did run down to the laundry room yesterday and did one load of laundry. No one was there and I washed my hands before and after.

I won't see my grandchildren or the rest of my family for the next few weeks, but I am getting lots of calls and texts and I am feeling connected and cared for.

Got my census invite yesterday and I filled out the online questionnaire this morning. It was very easy and quick.

    CB, many of the libraries in our area use e-book and audiobook platforms for check-out. I purchased a newer kindle back in January for the express purpose of no longer buying books and checking out books without having to worry about an extra errand to the library (although I do love libraries, it's just hard to carve out additional time). It's been AMAZING. The number of books I have checked out far surpass the price of the kindle. You can also check out ebooks on your device if you have a smart phone or tablet. Our library uses Over Drive (Libby app) and Hoopla. If you want some coaching, I'd be happy to help. I had to have the librarian walk me through how to get books on my kindle. Listening to non-fiction audiobooks on my long commute to work has become my new jam.

    Could you have your kids pick up books from the library for you? You could put holds on what you want.

    Another entertainment possibility is watching old tv episodes on YouTube. There are whole episodes of shows like Unsolved Mysteries, Emergency, and Forensic Files, among others.

    I do have the Libby app, and I have used it for audiobooks, but I just don't like reading on a device. I like a real book. Putting books on hold and having my son pick them up is a good idea. I'll look at my list today. That said, I still have a lot of reading on hand, just thinking about next week.

    I have lots of options on the TV, but it good to remember that YouTube is another option!
