July 13, 2020:  Day 115 of self-quarantine:  We’re all ready for the painters.  Of course they didn’t show up.  We’ll see what tomorrow brings.  Last night we ordered dinner from 54^th Street Grill.  I had a steak dinner and Mike had a craft sandwich.  Both were really good.  I still have some left for tonight.  Upper 80s today.  Nice.

July 12, 2020:  Day 114 of self-quarantine:  Well, we removed all the furniture from the deck this morning.  The chaise was the worst.  Pretty heavy.  I’ll hire some people to lug it back up there.  It’s only every 6 years.  Our deck seems pretty empty now.  Hope they get the painting done quickly.  Mid-80s today.

July 11, 2020:  Day 113 of self-quarantine:  Decided not to try and take the deck furniture off today because it’s supposed to be in the high 90s.  Tomorrow it will be in the low 80s.  So, we’ll do it then.  Did the laundry and played spades for a while.

July 10, 2020:  Day 112 of self-quarantine:  A really nice day today.  Not too hot with a pleasant breeze.  Did an on-line grocery order and it was delivered by 11:00.  Got that all sanitized and put away.  Had lunch and watched a Netflix documentary about Ann Frank.  An amazing girl.  Have to get our deck furniture off the deck so the power washing and painting can commence.  We’ll probably do that tomorrow.

Thu, Jul 9, 2020:  Day 111 of self-quarantine:  Mike went off to shoot skeet with Darwin this afternoon.  I’m getting ready to play spades for a while with an unknown partner.  Our pork roast last night turned out to be pork steaks.  Mike must have bought them at least a year ago.  The way it was wrapped, it looked like a pork roast.  Oh well, pork steaks are almost as good.  Low 90s today.  Hope Mike is careful.

Wed, Jul 8, 2020:  Day 110 of self-quarantine:  Really hot today.  Heat index of 104!  Didn’t even blow off the deck today.  I ordered one of those egg cooking thingys and it just came yesterday.  I cooked 4 eggs in it.  Then you rinse with cold water and shake it 10 times.  The shells are supposed to just about fall off.  Well it didn’t work that well, but it worked good enough that I’m ordering another one for the RV.  I’m doing a roast pork with honey-mustard sauce tonight for dinner.  With mashed potatoes and a vegetable.  Bon apetit!

Tue, Jul 7, 2020:  Day 109 of self-quarantine:  Really warm and humid today.  I only went out to blow off the deck.  That was enough for me.  Mike went out to pick up some scripts and picked up some lunch at Taco Bell.  A nice change.  Played spades for a while.  Somewhere in the 90s today.
