Not feeling too pranky right now. Rain all day, got my US taxes done and mailed, and cooked dinner--chicken in the oven, salads, and rice. And the dishwasher just beeped done.

It's April Fool's Day so don't be one. Stay safe at home if possible. I had an eye appointment today but it was cancelled until further notice. Seems like life is cancelled until further notice. I have no plans for today and it's wet anyway. I'll try to make the coffee last 'til Scotch O'clock, I guess.

Yawn. I’m up. Just made coffee. Turned on the news. I was going to make waffles for breakfast but realized we have not found the waffle maker yet. So oatmeal it is. Rod Hill says it’s going to rain. Traffic on the freeways is very light. Staying home today and more unpacking.

Up at 4:00 am this morning. Art studio calling to me. Completed the “wash” of colors for the sky. Barn and trees sketched. Very pleased so far. Going for a walk now. I will be glad when the gym reopens. I miss the “high” working out at the gym offers. Plus, walking just allows me too much time to think.

Good morning. It'll be 60-84 here, a reminder that by the end of the month we'll probably have to turn the air conditioner on.
I'm finding that when I have no recurrent commitments and the days all look alike, there's a risk of sinking into a blob of indolence. Gotta fix that.
Have a good day.

 good morning  Still alive and corona free. Claire's best friend died last night. Not corona, heart disease. It's been a long time coming but still tough for her. Our daughter got furloughed from work, her husband runs a pizza place still open for carry out and delivery. The grandkid is out of daycare and at home with my daughter driving her crazy. My back is bad and it looks like I won't be able to get the cortisone shots in my spine until May.....maybe. Life goes on, be well, stay healthy. |

Another sunny day here, which I really appreciate as I sit at my dining table next to an east-facing window on Day 2 of Working From Home. The sun warms my gnarly old hands as I edit away.
Pondering the fact that four years ago on this date, dear Lonnie's cancer was diagnosed -- he always said that there was something ironic about that happening on April Fools' Day. Deep sigh.
The workday goes slowly, with no one to talk to other than via e-mail, etc., and the bozos on this bus, of course -- but there are perks, too. I can look out my south-facing picture window and see dog-walkers and kids sprung from school, and robins looking for worms, and bright red cardinals looking for love. Heard some mallards quacking away this morning.
I've determined the ideal volume setting for my nearby home stereo, so the local classical station can provide background music without affecting my concentration on the features copy that I'm polishing to a high gloss, lol.
The kitchen and coffeemaker are right behind me, so that is nice. The ham steak and fried egg tasted good this morning.
I shaved last night -- the whiskers were getting me down somehow. Still have the stache, of course.

Made it home from the grocery store, found everything I was looking for. Light rain falling. After I posted, Hard Times Come'n, several people thought an inspirational song was in order, might work on that today.

A little earlier start than normal cause the electrician came by at 7:00 to rewire my kitchen. Power is off at my home office so I am at the office office. Not a lot to do until my 9:30 a.m. phone conference to reset the hearing that I was supposed to preside over at 9:30 a.m.
Finally got to the dog park yesterday afternoon and the dogs loved it, especially since it had been 4 days since they had a real run.

Bacon, eggs, and grits for breakfast. Sipping coffee now and cogitating. The lungs are calm so gonna go hike in a bit and see if I can make it up the hill and back like I used to.
Taxes are done and being filed and things came out well.
Be well friends

Two more shows cancelled this morning (and they weren't April fooling me). It's looking bleak.

Ugh. Guess I will do the monthly review of our finances. It will be grim. Also doing laundry and have a Zoom call with our social club. Finding things to do each day and trying not to think about how long this stay at home life will last.
