Monday March 23, 2020

Blog time 1145 sitting in living room.

I got up at 0545 and took Ms P out.  We had an inch of snow on the ground.  Shoveled the courtyard walks.  Temperature was a mild 29.

I did my calisthenics at home this morning.  Showered and then fixed an oatmeal breakfast.

Another Shelter in Place Day.  The car will stay in the garage.  I grabbed my thermos and walked to Panera.  The concrete walks were snow free.  They must have had enough residual warmth to melt last night’s snow.  Panera looks abandoned with no one sitting down.  No wind so the walk was pleasant.  Total distance walked 2.3 miles.

At home I sat in living room, finished yesterday’s blog and read Alpena News and email.  Took a picture of our snow covered back yard and emailed it to kids in CA.

Rest of day’s activities;

Lunch

Nap 

Jennifer Dougherty called this afternoon.  Jennifer a great engineer, now has her own company.  Her work presently is not impacted by the Coronavirus.  All her kids are sequestered at home because Lowell schools are closed. Her daughter who attends Trine College is also home.  We had a nice talk. 

Finished reading the WSJ

Took a bike ride around the neighborhood 

Apple snack

Cheerios for dinner.  I had mine with Irish Soda Bread.  Love ISB.

Both Debbie and Missy FaceTimed us today.  We gave a positive report.

Watched news and Jeopardy in living room before moving to den to watch Apple TV.

We watched an episode of Unforgotten. Nancy headed to bed and I stayed up and watched The Valhalla Murders.  Started watching episode 4, fell asleep and woke up in middle episode 5.

All the snow was gone when took Ms P out at 2200.
