Past the Halfway Point

March 20th, 2020 at 11:30 am

I've surpassed one week at home and I have five more days to go before I can leave the house. I am feeling better, though I do have a lingering cough. Of course, I still don't know if I have the virus and I guess I'll never know. This cough may be something else entirely. Happily, I have never had much of a fever so I've been relatively comfortable.

My first order of business when I reach day 14 is to go to the local grocery store during senior hours and get a few things, and then run right home. I do hope toilet paper will be available by then. I have a list of about ten other things, just normal things I keep in stock. I'm going to stick with the rules of sheltering in place, just going out for food and necessities. I want to smash this virus and I want to do my part.

My food is holding up well. I still haven't made the mac & cheese, and I'm planning to do that today. I'm also planning to make oatmeal cookies with raisins and walnuts, to lift my spirits.

Today the movie "Emma" will be available on demand and I'm going to watch it, if I can find it. It will be expensive -- about $20, I've read -- but I'm a Jane-ite and I'm going to treat myself to this.

    I'm glad to hear you are still on the mend! I was happy to hear shops are offering senior hours and implored my parents to take advantage of them. I was thinking of making Mac N Cheese too! I had bought some nice cheddar when I last made a grocery run. At Christmas, instead of baking all the dough and gorging on cookies for a month, I froze half the dough for each cookie. I'll have to pull some out this weekend and make cookies.
