I had a nice long conversation with my son in Oregon yesterday. His wife is still pretty much the same as far as symptoms go, but I can tell that he is feeling better about it. She is not having an experience as intense as his, but it is hanging on longer, and he is confident that she will eventually recover.
That made me feel a lot more cheerful.
I continue to stretch my food supply as much as I can. I made more enchilada sauce and reheated the wet burritos. After having a serving, I put the rest in the freezer. I made some chicken broth and I used some of that and a little of the burrito filling to make soup, which I will have for lunch today. The rest of the broth will go in the freezer.
I finished the jigsaw puzzle yesterday -- it's only 500 pieces. I have one more. I sold a lot of puzzles at my garage sale last summer and now I wish I hadn't.
Financially, I am doing fine. I have spent 16% of my variables. Pay day is a week and a half away, and there will be plenty to pay all my bills and put something into savings. That's not counting the stimulus payment. I have offered to donate that to my local DIL's event-planning business. So far she has declined, but I'm going to put it into savings because I think the business may need it. I know they can get a loan, but I think that may be an unwieldy and long-drawn-out process.
If, in the end, if it is not needed there, I will keep it in savings to put toward paying for my table refinishing, once we get past the COVID-19 outbreak.
