Tue, Apr 21, 2020:  Day 31 of self-quarantine:  Not a great day today.  Beautiful and sunny though.  Buzzed Mike. Didn’t sleep well last night so napped a lot.  Waited all day for a call back from my doctor’s office and when the phone finally rang, I hit something I shouldn’t have and it went straight to voice mail.  Called back right away.  The office is now closed.  Will call again tomorrow.  Decided to try Grubhub for dinner.  Ordered a couple of burgers from McDonalds.  The bill came to $40.  The food items totaled $19.  The rest was fees, taxes, and a tip.  Cancelled my subscription  Upper 60s today.

My daughter sent a watercolor of Mike and me in our Covid-19 garb.  She is so talented.  And she took away the bags under my eyes and my wrinkles.

Mon, Apr 20, 2020:  Day 30 of self-quarantine:  We finally got the stuff we ordered three weeks ago from Walgreens delivered.  After lunch I watched “The Irishman” with Dinero and Pacino.  Great movie.  Long.  60s again today, but sunny most of the day.  I ate so much watching the movie I didn’t bother with dinner.  Mike had left-over chicken.

Sun, Apr 19, 2020:  Day 29 of self-quarantine:  Nice and sunny today.  Supposed to rain, but hasn’t yet.  I donned my mask and drove to CVS to pick up my script that CVS e-mailed me was ready.  Got there and they didn’t have any script for me.  Got pissed off.  Back home and tried to upload pics from my phone.  No luck.  Got pissed off again.  Played spades for a while.  Mike is grilling chicken for dinner tonight.  60s today.

Sat, Apr 18, 2020:  Day 28 of self-quarantine:  A nice sunny day today.  And warmer—61.  Didn’t do much except the laundry and watched a bunch of JaLo movies.  Monster-In-Law is the funniest.  Played spades again in the evening.  Just sandwiches for dinner.

Fri, Apr 17, 2020:  Day 27 of self-quarantine:  A raw day today.  40s and breezy.  In the afternoon our grocery shoppers started texting me.  The first was Schnucks and just as she was finishing up Aldi started texting me that she was shopping.  Schnucks delivered first around 2:30 and just as she was finishing up the Aldi shopper texted me she was on the way.  Got food now!  And even toilet paper!  Got everything sanitized and put away by 4:00 and decided to utilize Grubhub for something for dinner.  But the delivery times were up to 80 minutes.  Nixed that and ate left-overs or sandwiches.  We certainly have enough food.  I ate too much.  Have a stomach ache.

Thu, Apr 16, 2020:  Day 26 of self-quarantine:  My sister texted me and said I didn’t blog on Wednesday.  I said I did, but it was late.  Checked, and sure enough, I didn’t.  OK.  Guess I’m losing it.  Thought for sure I did it.  Anyway, today I concentrated on getting my laptop out of tablet mode and back to my familiar desktop.  Don’t know how it got in tablet mode, but it did.  And I was able to get it back with the help of a YouTube video.  Cold and sunny today.  Supposed to get up to a foot of snow tonight and tomorrow just north of us.  Great!  Just hope it stays north.  And tomorrow is supposed to be 49 with a cold rain.  Feel sorry for the people delivering our groceries.

Tue, Apr 14, 2020:  Day 24 of self-quarantine:  Cold again today, but sunny.  I was scheduled for my infusion this morning, but it was put off until noon.  Got that out of the way by 3:00.  Everyone was in a separate room.  The nurse practitioner prepped me and she kept missing the vein in my hand.  Hurt like hell.  She finally tried another vein and got it.  My hand is still sore.  At least it’s over with until June.
