I have to look at my devices each day to know what day it is! I think we're in week 5 of staying home, maybe.
We all miss this guy, and were joking about how he'd hate the whole mask thing, but he'd do it because he loves us. I can't believe it's almost ten months since his death. Love you, Joseph.
These guys came to have a socially distanced visit! Eddie loves the opportunity to drive anywhere, of course. They were delighted with their snakes in progress. Eddie named his Covid, and Julianna named hers Quarantina! At that point, the snakes were done thru the end of February.
As of yesterday, Eddie's and Julianna's were done thru the middle of April, and Amary's and Garrett's were done thru the end of February. By the weekend I hope to have them all done thru the middle of April, then I'll update them every two weeks or so.
I made chicken enchiladas on Tuesday, and we had leftovers of them yesterday. They warm up great in the microwave! I hadn't made them in quite a while.
We ordered a freezer, which probably won't be in til July. Ours is a 9 cubic feet upright, from Ralph's parents' house. Florence has been gone for 6 years, so we don't know how old the freezer is. It's working fine, but. So we ordered a 17 cubic feet upright, with useable space of 14 cubic feet. I'm going to be prepared for the second wave of Covid19.
I saw a tip online, that when you freeze bread or rolls, put a crumpled up paper towel in the bag. It really works! When defrosted, the bread tastes so fresh!
Almost every day I watch Gov Cuomo's briefing. It's clear, concise, and informative, unlike the WH ones, which I haven't watched in weeks.
Sheets are in the dryer, and I'm pondering what's for dinner.
It seems as if we've been in lockdown forever.
I started with this.
Progressed to these.
They got eyeballs.
One month done on each of them! Temperature snakes for my grandchildren! Eddie's and Julianna's are the high and low temps for Mays Landing, Amary's and Garrett's are the high and low temps for Mill Creek.
My late dad, with a flag I made for him for Father's Day. I was about 16, so he was about 45, so it was in the late 1960's.
Mmmm. Quiche from the freezer, Brussels sprouts, and dinner rolls made with mayonnaise. They did not brown well, but were perfectly cooked.
Garrett and Amary had a good Easter!
So did Eddie, Jules, and the chickens!
Our favorite nurse, all decked out for work.
I've been watching NY Gov Cuomo and our Gov Murphy for updates on the virus. I refuse to watch the shit show from the White House. I only believe Dr Fauci, the rest of them are trying to rewrite history. Our state is hard hit, and we're very sparing with our going out. My tendency to overbuy and keep the freezer filled is paying off.
So the days consist of watching Gov Cuomo, reading, working on the temp snakes, walking laps in the driveway when it's nice out, and cooking. We have gotten curbside pickup at Texas Roadhouse and Bertucci's, and this week may do Olive Garden. Tonight's dinner will be chili over mashed potatoes.
I have plenty of physical books and kindle books, but it's hard having the library closed- I'm in the middle of a few series, and they are not all available on Libby or Overdrive. But if that's the worst of my problems, I'm lucky.
