I find things to do. Genealogy projects, cooking, getting fat, puzzles, water colors. Obsessing.
Another cosmo.
Buddy Cat judging me.
Ruby demands I play fetch with her. As I type this I am throwing her stretchy toy.
I went to the supermarket yesterday. In these times it has become a stressful event. I needed to pick up prescriptions and to buy groceries for a friend in need. So I donned my mask and black latex gloves and used my alcohol-rich wipe on the shopping cart handle. Inside all of the Safeway staff wore masks, which seems like they are making an effort. Perhaps 1/3 of the customers were. The people who weren't don't seem to be taking the pandemic seriously. They bring their kids to the store. They touch things. They don't follow the directions and come up the aisle the wrong way. They get too close. I wonder if those few who are unlucky and get the virus will be surprised when it happens, 'Why me?"
At home I walk around my yard admiring the pretty flowers. It is in the 80s now, soon summer will be here and they will wither and fade. I hope the virus does the same.
