Another holiday come and gone in this endless quarantine.
Oh yes...there was the Traditional chocolate bunny (...well cookies and cream..)
And biting the ears off with coffee was still pretty nice...
Sofi loved the fact that she got as much of the ham as she could eat this year...
And Dinner was fairly Traditional, too.
But it just wasn't the same.
The New Normal.
And sometimes it just sucks.
This is Day 40 for me.
Starting to reach that acceptance stage of the Kubler-Ross Model, I think.
It has taken a while.
Trying hard to get into a routine...and even achieving it occasionally.
I have stepped away from the pasta...that might have been this week's accomplishment. And de-furred. And bathed.
Although the bra is kind of a memory at this point.
Some of the memes are getting better and better...
Even artist Banksy has gotten in on the fun.
And one entrepreneur came up with a good idea in case the electric company wants to shut you off...thinking it would be equally effective with the cable company, as well.
Fake Hornet Nests for $30...and yes...this is really a thing...
The Covid numbers have exploded...
Over 2 million worldwide with over 156,000 dead.
In our country (USA) 713,000 with over 37,000 dead
So...what is MY government trying to do amidst the pandemic?
Open things back up.
Okay...it is mostly the red states...but still...
Prompting me to do a re-write of the Miranda Rights.
“You have the

You

Anything you say

Anything
you are doing now under the guise of Personal Freedom can, and likely
will, come back to haunt you later in the form of Covid-19.

Do you
understand the rights I have just read to you?
With these
rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”
Do
you understand the possible consequences of your actions, and with
these in mind do
you STILL want
to go to Walmart?
I did get to see pictures of Chris' latest weapon...
and am pretty impressed.
And we have been doing socially distanced chats out back and keeping caught up on life.
Which is nice.
Lennon says Flori-Duh has just reopened the beaches there.
"How could THAT possibly go wrong??? Right?"
We will see in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
And this social distancing must be working because my toaster
(...remember that freaking toaster...)
Is STILL hunkered down at the Fed Ex hub in Indianapolis.
For 9 days now!!!
They are promising delivery next week.
Yeah...and the check's in the mail...
Kind of excited.
By the next update I will have celebrated my 60th Birthday!!!!!
And the cats are still enjoying Quarantine a lot.
"But I have taught her to fluff my fuzzy blankie on the rocking chair so I can stretch out by MY fireplace." ~Also Sofi
Stay Home and Stay Safe, People!
