Blog time 1300 sitting in office

It rained hard all night.  Nancy said it was still raining when she took Ms P out at 0600.  Temp in mid 50s.

Today Nancy and I are going to Meijer’s to replenish our larder.  We want to arrive at 0800 when the store opens.

Today is my easy Wednesday so I completed my calisthenics in 15 minutes.  Showered and then we headed out.

Meijer’s was not crowded.  Folks are complying with Coronavirus rules.  I bet 95% of customers were wearing a mask.  75% wore gloves.  Nancy and I were in complete compliance.

It took us an hour to load up our cart.  Biggest grocery bill I can remember.

On way home we stopped at Panera to get a cup of coffee.  Light roast for me and hazelnut for Nancy.  

At home it took us 1/2 hour to unload car.  After this chore I had a bowl of oatmeal.

Retired to my office.  My sister and her friends are gathering pictures of their mothers for a Mother’s Day project.  Helen asked me if I could text some photos.  I complied.

Read the Alpena News and checked email before finishing yesterday’s blog.  With the Coronavirus dominating the news it is difficult to find newsworthy items to comment on.

Lunch and then a nap.  Fixed our apple snack.  Pumped up the Bianchi bike tires and took a 5 mile bike ride.

Light dinner of cereal and fruit.  Fixed Nancy her after dinner cheese/cracker/pill snack.  I had an oatmeal cookie and then fixed a cocktail of Vernor’s ginger ale and a shot of Ginger whiskey.  Very good.  I am afraid it could become habit forming.  I have to be careful with the hard stuff.  Family has problems with hard liquor.

Watched news and Jeopardy before switching to Apple TV.  Tonight we watched episode 1 of Deadwater Fell.  It has potential.

Debbie and Missy FaceTimed tonight.  We all gave a positive health report.  

Missy did have some concerns about Akerke’s 6th Grade math.  I looked at an assignment dealing with triangles.  I thought it was advanced for the 6th grade.  I never encountered this material until I was a 10th grader and then I struggled.
