Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 295....

Only been in quarantine for 9.8 months. Awful. No blog. Home all day. Maybe can blog later this week.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 279....

 Quiet day. Not feeling up to par. Nothing major-Could be my gallbladder or the gummies I take. They have one ingredient that can bother my stomach. Only take at bedtime.

Cold last night and warm today. Calm out.

I had plans for late afternoon but cancelled. Tired of having no life .

Lucky to video chat with JS twice yesterday and once tonight. Nice to talk to him and see him. Hard when someone is important in your life and never see them. But that is common with the virus.

Speaking of the virus, my church is now completely closed. The preacher and secretary have both been exposed to Covid. Not sure they are sick just quarantined. We have not had services except online for months. I know one other church that has started having in person services with quite a few cars there on sunday. Scary. Not me. I have a board meeting in January I will go to but not happy about it. There is around 6 of us and I am scared. I have learned to trust no one. One member has Covid now. Dang. Mask does not move and I sterlize my hands every few minutes.

Photos are a mix. Always some Christmas.

 Day started quietly. Mid morning phone call from JS. A nice surprise.

Too warm today. Certainly not winter weather. They say very cold next week. High on Wednesday is forecast to be 29F. Yikes!

I had a gift for JS. Went to his work on his afternoon break. Visited with him and his boss' father. Nice moment.

I rushed to town. I had 2 banks to get to. Not sure of closing time for one. Then to the post office. While waiting to get my brother, I did Christmas shopping. Nothing will get here in time. Ok, well.

JR and I ate supper out. I had a burger and fries.

Excellent burger.

There is a car decorated in town. Christmas lights, gifts on the trunk, and blow up Santa and elves on the hood. And Christmas music. Saw it but no photo. I was too slow!!

Now home. Catching up on stuff. A good day.

Photos are some snow photos form when we actually got snow.

 Quiet day. And much warmer. Last nite was really cold. Will be warm until mid next week. Of course no white Christmas. Doesn't matter. I feel anything but Christmas inside. I fake it on the outside.

My nephew was over. I had his tax papers and he gave me my pasture rent.

Finished going though mail and paid bills. Did not dig out my tax papers. Do that tomorrow.

After bills I wrote out my Christmas cards. Not sent cards for 2 years. A miracle that I got any. The ones I got so far are special that they even remember me. Only 2 are from family. No surprise.

Nico was frustrated while I took up the entire sofa! He would stare at me. He tried the animal bed that was all scrunched. He tried Willie's chair. Nope. No good. Now he is cuddled next to me. But Kitty is missing.

I got a shock a couple days ago- My son who hates technology is now on Facebook. Wonder how that happened. If he thinks he can see what I am up to, he thinks wrong. I made double sure.

Photos are more Christmas again. A couple are of the tree Willie and I had. Makes me so sad. Not an old time Christmas for me ever again.

Where are you Christmas.

Sheltering in Place, Mood Of Silence, Day 276....

 Very quiet day. A bit warmer. Sad to see the snow melt.

Had a long phone call with cousin ND2 last night. We both 'have arthritis and Sjogrens syndrome and worry about getting the Covid Vaccine. I think as long as there is no live virus it should be ok. The two out now have no live virus.

Little communication with anyone today. Normal for me. But late JS video chatted. Has an older friend who is in the hospital now with Covid and pneumonia. He has not been around him in weeks. Hope he gets ok. I have a friend diagnosed yesterday. I hate Covid.

Last night I saw a large couey of quail when I was leaving home. We used to have so many of them. But one summer about the time there were little quail, we had a huge storm with wind and hail. Sort of did them in. I miss them. One winter we had some heavy snow and wind. I looked out the window in my hallway. Under my back deck was a covey of quail in their circle trying to keep warm. I wanted a photo so bad but no way. If I had gone out they were have scattered. Too cold for that.

Photos today are Christmas again.

Where are you Christmas?
