Day 33, April 25, 2020 -- The Big Score!

For the first time since February (maybe even before that), we have a new package of toilet paper in the house!  Thanks to Chuck who ventured out to Target and while getting other stuff he crept up on the toilet paper aisle and low and behold, there were a few packages left!!  Thank you Chuck for helping preserve my peace of mind.  

Spring still creeping into Reno.  I have never noticed how it changes day to day until this year when we all have to just slow the hell down.  My backyard is beginning to rebirth itself and from the looks of it, we will have many apples this fall.  The blossoms are abundant and beautiful!  

We had a zoom meeting with the west coast family tonight -- spent 1.5 hours talking to each other.  SF, Reno and LA.  We all agreed that the national news doesn't really care about anyone else but NY.  

One of the things that scares me about this entire period of time is the fact that the day goes by so fast.  One would imagine that if you get up at 6:30am and go to bed at 9:00pm there would be a lot of free time in your day while you are sequestered in your own home.  This has not been the case however.  It seems that the few things that we do all day such as exercise, walk the dogs, eat, read, do crafty things, puzzles, talk on the phone and do other communications are beginning to take up the entire day.  The statement that lots of retirees make: "I don't know how I ever had time to work," is becoming my mantra now for sure.  I really don't know how people who work from home and school their children from home (like my daughter Montana) do it.  But they do!  Must be youth.

BTW has anyone else's taste gone to this vintage yet . . . . .
