23 done and 30+ more incoming

Mar 29, 2020

Today is day 23 of my ongoing QwD (quarantine with dogs). President Trump today extended the time of social distancing guidance for another 30 days. Looking toward the end of April seems pretty far away — but I can do it! You can too!

Eating is not the easiest or best when QwD. When you only have to feed yourself — because your quarantine partners eat dog food and no one is coming around to eat what you prepare — you don’t really have a reason to cook. My Sunday dinner consisted of pickles, cottage cheese and instant potatoes with Parmesan cheese on top. Blah!

This is my view for a good part of the day! It’s basically the same at night only darker. 🙂

Most of all, I miss having face-to-face contact with my son and granddaughter. It makes me sad to think the entire month of April is going to be more of the same. Still, I can do it — and you can too!

Next on the “what I miss most” list would be the pesky neighbors. I still spend a ton of time with my Mom and Carl on the phone and via Facetime… talking about their electronic challenges mostly. But it’s not the same as person-to-person. I wish we could grill out and sit around the table and yack about nothing at all.

Let’s all be good for the weeks to come and STAY HOME if possible! The data says we’ve got to (check out the projections and even select your state).
