Friday Day 12 of the Homebound Saga
Posted By Kathleen David on March 27, 2020
Last night about nine o’clock I found myself on the couch with my eyes closing so I went to bed. Woke up once or twice but rolled over and went back to sleep. Got up at 8. That is probably the longest uninterrupted sleep I have gotten in years without being ill. I feel Awake for the first time in a long time.
Caroline and I have our list of things to do today. Dinner tonight is going to be my from scratch baked mac & cheese with the other loaf of bread I made last Friday.
We do find ourselves baking more things these days. I am cooking things that take longer like soups and roasts. We are also trying new recipes because we do have time.
Caroline and I are walking for our cardio. We have several walks that we like through various places in the village. We find ourselves going down to the shore more often and looking at the water. It is very peaceful and so nice to get out into fresh air. On these walks as the time has gone on, we find people more friendly. Keep our distance we say ‘hello’ and ‘how’s it going’. Caroline has been able to pet doggies then come home and wash her hands. She is really good at keeping them away from her face.
I have to be very aware of my hands because touching my face is something I do a lot. I hadn’t realized how much until I started paying attention. I tend to lean on my hand when sitting and reading. Also, right now, my hair is at that annoying length that keep falling in my face so I have to put it back. We are all looking a little scruffy as haircuts were in the near future when this happened.
More news as I know it but next weekend (April 3-5) at some point I will be on the Heliosphere feed talking about building puppets which is a panel I never do because it would be so much stuff to shlep to a convention but at our house I have it at my fingertips. Peter will be doing a reading as well.
This weekend we will continue as we have been with keeping distance and being careful about what we touch and when. If the weather is good, I think Caroline and I will be doing some activities outside in our yard.
I am grateful for people being kind to others.
