Another Tuesday in Lockdown

bird creature from walk

This guy looks quite prehistoric doesn't he? He's another guy I recently encountered on a walk.  It was a totally shitty day yesterday with gale force winds making the flag outside my window stand out straight.  Was really stuck inside as most of us are. Made another batch of granola and hard boiled eggs (not together ha).  Been reading this morning that the president has been raging at the press at most recent briefing premiering his newest video of accomplishments.  Fortunately for us, the local NBC affiliate has chosen to send these broadcasts direct to their web sites and advising viewers to access them there if they are interested.  I am not, preferring to catch the postmortem on NPR the following day.  Our leader is forecasting a re-opening of the country on May 1st.  Considering where we are, it seems ill advised in my opinion.

Making another trek to Costco this morning for the "senior hour" .  All these old folks (including myself) look like a depression era bread line, trudging along in their winter coats, hats with faces covered.  But we will be there to gather up all the paper goods needed in larger than needed packaging.   Although it is a necessary disappointment, there are no more samples from vendors.  This is one small aspect of normalization I look forward to.

It has been interesting to see the unadorned programing of late.  The SNL episode from last weekend was somewhat entertaining.  The Coldplay guy sing a Dylan chestnut was worthwhile.  Colbert's interviews have been good too, especially with Conan O'Brien.

My brother in law John FaceTimed with me yesterday.  Both of us are really enjoying the conversations.  I haven't talked to him that much ever. Finally learning about each other.  My sweet friend Janine brought laughs to our living room with her call.  All of us have been lamenting the lack of activity, the adding of weight and the consumption of wine.  Going to do the same with my friend from the 5th grade till now today.  Looking forward to it.  This and Zoom seem to be the saving grace in these times.  Rambling a bit today, have to wash my breakfast dishes.
all for now
stay safe
