The “shelter-at-home” order for all of California began last thursday night at midnight making this day 6. Of course, I sort of do that all the time … go out only for necessities (other than the senior lunches I’ve been going to on mondays with two friends and two couples who are helping me relearn Spanish, and now those are off until at least the first of April).
And as I said elsewhere … Boxes full of yarn. Cedar chest full of fiber. Closet full of fabric. Stacks of books.
Please, oh please, don’t order me to stay home. There’s nothing to do there.

Does anyone remember a book from some time ago titled “Love in the Time of Cholera”? I think a movie was made as well. With the current situation I’m wondering what this time’s book title will be … “Hope in the Time of Corona”? “Lessons in the Time of Corona”?
Or maybe “Laughs in the Time of Corona” !!!
Someone could be collecting all the jokes and cartoons being based on this event such as the line of socks in pairs approaching the washer with the leaders saying “Stay in pairs or you’ll wind up as toilet paper.”
Or the headline in our local daily … “Yreka council urges people not to flush anything but toilet paper.”
No further comment.

Still having earthquakes … latest a 5.0 near Carson City, Nevada.

But all that said … there isn’t much to tell you. My social life and volunteer events have been cancelled. The movie theatre is closed and my movie buddy can’t leave her house either. It’s still too cold to work the ground outdoors. So I’m spinning etc. and binge watching Brit mysteries, Met free operas, etc.

To end this abbreviated blog …
My hope is that we are all staying well and not being too bored.

So … ‘til next week …
