Sat, Mar 28, 2020:  Day 6 of self-quarantine:  I started getting texts from our “grocery shopper” at 9:00 am.  Said he/she was starting shopping.  He/she would text me every time they substituted an item for something else.  And no Lysol wipes, so they took that off the total.  It was delivered at 10:00 am.  The bags were left on our stoop in the courtyard  Even though I ordered a couple bottles of wine, they never asked for an id.  Maybe because of the walker sitting outside (kidding).  We brought everything in and put on the kitchen table and started washing everything.  Not thinking, I ordered a bowl of mixed melon.  Put in the microwave on high for 3 minutes which should be enough to take care of any contamination.  I wouldn’t think if you ingested the virus it would be a problem.  Anyway, just to be safe.  When I checked my credit card, the total was $185 instead of $160.  I thought the $160 included a large tip.  But maybe not.  Whatever it costs, it’s worth it.  Hope we did a good enough job of cleaning everything.  The only incorrect item we got was a pack of AAA batteries instead of AA.  Cloudy right now.  We’re supposed to get severe weather this afternoon (sigh).  I need a nap.

St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.

Bourbon Street (I think).
