Tues, May 5, 2020:  Day 45 of self-quarantine:  We lost our power last night.  Not really stormy out there, but it must have been somewhere.  We lost it around 5:00 playing spades on-line.  That ended that game.  Figured it wouldn’t be out long.  Went upstairs and fixed some dinner (a bowl of cereal for me and a sandwich for Mike) and then settled in reading our books until it got too dark.  Got the flashlights out and read in bed for a while.  Schlepping around with the flashlight I was shocked to see how filthy our mirrored closet doors in the bedroom were.  For some reason the flashlight brought it out.  Decided tomorrow I would get the ladder out and clean them.  At our age we’re not supposed to be on a ladder.  But, what are you gonna do?  Anyway, today we celebrated Cinco de Mayo by ordering gringo dip and chips from the 54th Street Grill and watched three episodes of Ozark on Netflix.  A great series.  Looking forward to a hot dinner tonight.  Low 60s today.  The power didn't come back on until around 3:00 AM.

Our mirrored closed doors in the bedroom are now clean.
