Wednesday Week 3 ...Settling in at Home

I did figure out how to set up a Zoom account, and I think we are good to go, that I just have to forward the information to the other attendees. I kept it to smaller group this time, as we experiment with our options. If it works well (hoping, hoping) then I may go ahead and spring for a paid membership so we can chat for more than forty minutes if our hearts desire. Still thinking about the Facebook group as well. One giant step for community socialization!

Today is son's second day home from the restaurant wars. He's still at the "I'm on vacation and away from the wars" stage, but I know that will wear off for him quickly. He's a high anxiety, social guy. He's not a digital reader as such, but I'm getting him a small Amazon fire. He can play games on it and we love some of the same authors (I've been plowing through Ace Atins and he loves him, for starts) so that will be other amusement and education beyond his. He already has his own little studio area with TV and Xbox and private entertainment space, so we can all three have our own at home area. I'm gonna also work on extending the social distancing list to include more things-I know he'll happily take on sorting family pictures and such, and has been wanting to  help me downsize (and grab some family stuff for himself along the way, of course)

If sister stays here he'll be her roomate, and have three rooms and a bathroom to himself and I know he's working out in his head how to make one a "den" for friends. This scenario is looking more and more likely as sister wants to live in a house and I DO NOT.  Not sure that's a compromise I can make even to live together.

I'm finding that I'm happiest if I do a few things each day, so I've started dressing in clothes that are comfy but make me feel good and even adding perfume and earrings and such. I'm writing little notes in my jourrnal before I go to bed at night of things I want to do-not to create a schedule but so I have a couple things to look forward to each day and so that I don't do my easy default of knitting and then reading all day and suddenly noticing it's dinner time. I'm going outside, no matter the weather unless there is precipitation. It's been seventy and sixty most of the time, but even on the much cooler days I am going outside all wrapped up and reading for at least an hour.

Today I:

  • Knitted
  • Took three pounds of ground beef and divided it between two slow cookers. I'll freeze the chili and sloppy joes are dinner and lunch
  • Went outside for fresh air and walked around the house for exercise
  • Planned some future social things for my gals via virtual communication and
  • Started my new book.
Our county has 381 cases and 7 deaths. I think Colorado is right at four thousand cases total. We are exepected (knock on wood) to peak by Easter latest. Which doesn't mean we can all run out of the house and hug each other, but does meant that hospitals and such will have seen the worse.Thank the Lord this did not happen in late fall to winter, is all I can say. Sunshine is keeping me sane.

  1. I feel so badly for all restaurant workers. The public misses them as much awe they miss working and getting a paycheck.

  2. Why do you not want to live in a house? What do you want? I would prefer a house as to someone living on the other side of the wall. I obviously don't need as much structure as you do.

    1. As I've said multiple times on the blog I want to move into an apartment as a condo. I'm looking at a senior community and not worried about noise as such.

  3. We've gone back to winter here after a couple of absolutely wonderful days. I don't know if it is the weather or the isolation but I know I'm feeling a bit out of sorts. Hopefully your sister and son look to your example as they find their way through these next weeks.

    Take care and stay well!

    1. We have 24 hours of snow and rain coming....
      We can always have a freeze until May but with sunny skies otherwise and being really close to the sun I'm trying to keep the cold days in perspective.

  4. Snow started here again this morning, no sun and walking in the wind was not much fun. It did make it easier to get things done around the house though.

    God bless.

  5. I agree about the sunshine - it has made all the difference here(UK). The blossom is showing on the wild cherry trees and spring is properly here.

  6. We’re having the most beautiful Spring here in Arizona, so going outside is delightful,I just wish I could jump into the car and go to our favorite hiking trails and lakes.. I expect we will entirely miss the hiking season this year, as weather gets hot we can’t go.. we are in week 4 of our isolation and I am getting antsy now..I want to be able to go to Trader Joe, I miss my card playing group, my art studio group, and just the freedom to go to our favorite middle easter restaurant for a Greek Salad.I TREMENDOUSLY miss getting to go visit our son who lives in a vibrant college town where we walk, shop in the book store, have ramen, and hike around the Towne lake.. all our routines are absent and I am beginning to miss them greatly.That said, I know how to stay busy and involved.I am studying Italian,reading, doing a new art journal , and cooking a lot. We were riding bikes in the neighborhood but more kids and families have been out and we heard people coughing without covering up their faces! I feel if I can getup at maybe 5:30 AM and get out here it would be safe... I am an early riser but that’s EARLY—still, that bike ride was my “freedom” time..otherwise am using out treadmill,doing Richard Simmons videos, Reebok step video and a short yoga program I know by heart. Time in the kitchen feels good and keeps my mind occupied. We play Scrabble and cards. But I am ready for life to be back to “normal” while knowing we may be on lock down through April AND May.I’m just praying the next couple of weeks when we go through the surge, will somehow be over fast with the least amt of fatalities. We are surely living through a plot form a sci fi novel,aren’t we!?

  8. I also set up Zoom but discovered yesterday that my camera “couldn’t be found”. I spent the afternoon trying to figure that out but I never got it working. I finally sent a note to the local guys who provide my anti virus software as I read that could be my problem. I sure hope it’s something that simple. Fortunately, we still have my old laptop we can use for meetings on Sunday and Monday.
