Fri, Jun 5, 2020:  Day 77 of self-quarantine:  Another nice, warm and humid day today.  Watched a great movie on Netflix, “Trumbo.”  Played spades with Nomad.  Did some computer stuff.  That’s about it.  Left-overs for dinner tonight.

My sister window shopping.

Thu, Jun 4, 2020:  Day 76 of self-quarantine:  Couldn’t sleep last night.  Worried about spiders and other crawly things, I guess.  So, I’m like a zombie today.  Had the presence of mind to back up my laptop and backed up my phone to the cloud.  The library is finally open, so I ordered a book.  Pick-up only.  Played spades with Nomad in the afternoon.  Going to have steaks, corn on the cob, and a 6-bean salad for dinner tonight. I made a huge one  (6-bean salad) yesterday.  Love that stuff.  Upper 80s today and cloudy.

Very rare jade plant.  Only blooms in December.

Wed, Jun 3, 2020:  Day 75 of self-quarantine:  Had a bad start this morning when making the bed there was a spider on top of the blanket.  I HATE spiders!  Sat outside reading my book for a while.  Really hot today.  Played spades for a while with Nomad.  That’s about it.  Left-overs for dinner.  90+ today.

Tue, Jun 2, 2020:  Day 74 of self-quarantine:  I’m appalled at all the violence going on in our cities.  In STL last night 4 or 5 police officers were shot.  One fatally.  And the prevaricator-in-chief’s use of force to break up peaceful protestors so he could get a photo op was really disgusting. In front of a church with a bible no less.  What a joke!  I’m appalled at all the looting and destruction.   That doesn’t bode well for the legitimate protesters.  Wonder what this will mean for the other pandemic going on?

Mon, Jun 1, 2020:  Day 73 of self-quarantine:  Ordered more groceries on-line this morning.  Delivered by 1:00.  She didn’t do as good a job as the others but that’s okay.  Played spades for a while.  Need to venture out and get my hair cut or start wearing a dog collar.  80 today.

Sun, May 31, 2020:  Day 72 of self-quarantine:  It’s alarming to watch all the rioting and destruction going on in many cities.  That police officer should be charged.  But I would hate to be a cop these days.  I wonder how many more covid cases as a result of all the protesting?  A nice day today.  Warm with low humidity.

Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Wisconsin.  It is not maintained very well.

Fri, May 29, 2020:  Day 70 of self-quarantine:  Another nice day today.  Warm and less humid.  Saw a couple of our board members walking around.  Donned my mask and went out to talk with them.  They’re getting ready to paint our village.  Again, I was the only one wearing a mask.  Made red beans and rice and then picked up some Popeye’s chicken to go with it for dinner.
