One major downside of being quarantined (with or without dogs) is that the days sort of run together. I have trouble keeping up with what day of the week it is. For example, I was going to mention an online team meeting we had but can’t even remember if it was yesterday or the day before. I remember the topics covered — just not the timeline of when it happened.
That blah feeling is pretty much the same for all of us here. Are you experiencing it too?
I have the grocery thing down though. I place an order for Perry to pick up. I then sort the items and place a stack of goodies for Ben and one for the pesky neighbors inside the garage door. This keeps me home, Mom & Carl out of grocery stores and away from people (they love the drive for a break), and Ben and Coco quarantined, as well. We look at each other and chat a moment while outside in the driveway, all the while staying at least 6′ apart.
Not perfect — but not forever either.
And then you have Merida! She’s like the spring break crowd. She doesn’t care about social distancing and gets in EVERYONE’S personal space — greeting all humans and dogs excitedly like it’s her job.
Locally, we’ve had some pretty icky news of late…
- Like… 63 healthcare workers at Schneck Medical now quarantined because they were exposed to COVID-19 — of course that leaves a shortage of what’s needed: Read it in the Tribune…
- And, Crothersville High School’s boys basketball coach and athletic director, Greg Kilgore, was arrested on a preliminary Level 5 felony charge of child solicitation. Read it in the Tribune…
Almost weekend, you guys. Not that it matters so much during a pandemic but I’m still looking forward to it. For the record, no dysentery or scurvy from my peanut butter cookies. They were yummy!
