I’m blissed out in bed with Blaze (our big, orange kitty) curled up at my feet. He has a big sore on his chin. I think I’m going to see if he will let me dab some hydrogen peroxide on it. I went from living in a first world nation “the greatest country on Earth God bless the USA!” to I probably can’t get my cat to the vet right now. Or any human to a doctor unless it is a life or death situation. Going to an ER right now would be risking death. It is so uncomfortable to lose that security that I counted on. I just did not see this one coming and it is so crazy. š¦ Anyways, we are watching the Never Miss A Sunday Show series– Widespread Panic live from Red Rocks in 2017. One silver lining from this whole ordeal is how creators have switched gears to stream entertainment into our homes. Sweet pick-me-up.
Today Marc got his mower up and running and cut the first grass of the season. We worked really hard all weekend and it paid off. The house looks beautiful and we’ll be ready to plant by the time the seeds arrive. After mowing, he came in and showered and unbeknownst to any of us he shaved his beard for the first time in 5.5 years! He recorded all of our reactions. Funny. The kids were got. And really cute! Hart kept wanting to give him kisses. He looks 10 years younger. I prefer the beard but it will allow him to get a better fit on the mask I made. I haven’t finished that project yet. Still 3 more to go.
I made a tasty dinner of buffalo chicken dip with crudites, garlic soft pretzels, and my sister’s bruschetta recipe. Marc gave the boys a bath. We have a grocery pick up order for tomorrow. One day earlier than expected but I jumped at the chance as it had been unavailable again for the last week. I do not want to be shopping in store right now. We could use a reup on fresh foods. Will there come a day when that becomes unavailable to us? I don’t know. Is sending one masked person per family out into the world for a contactless grocery pickup every 6-7 days acceptable? What is recommended? Like I don’t know. I wish someone/everyone would be very concrete and direct in what we all should be doing to save our asses. I need a list of best practices described in detail. It has been such a bungled, criminal, evil, stupid mess from the too late get-go. When I start to think about it I get so sad and mad. Right now I just need to be calm and brave and busy and as prepared and healthy as possible is what I keep telling myself. I feel robotic at times going through all my regular motions just to keep my kids routine and structure in place. I do not want them to look back on this time together as a source of fear or pain. They are so little and sweet and pure.
As of tonight we have lost close to 10K people. How many more? For how much longer? Alot and a long time is my guess.
