Locked In

Florida's governor, as of yesterday, has issued the "Stay at Home" order.  He had said he was waiting to hear from Trump about what he should do. Meanwhile, many other governors of hard hit states took a more proactive stance.

Well, I have been under my own stay at home constraints. Not all work has stopped around here.



This morning.

I am living in a dust bowl and a pandemic. Double house arrest. Introversion skills finally come in handy!

  1. Haha. Yes, being introverted has helped me tremendously, too.

  2. Olga, unfortunately your governor is a dipstick. His head is so far up his orange buddies arse that he can't see straight. If any state should have been on lock down it should be Florida. Talk about a lot of high risk people and dumb ass spring breakers. I read where a bunch of them came back with Covid-19. I can't even feel sorry for those kids except that they are hurting others. Crazy.

  3. As my daughter said several weeks ago, introverts will thrive. However being driven inside by construction dust is no fun. BTW, your Gov has made the national news, not in a good way. I'm glad you adopted your own "stay at home" long before now.

  4. Yikes, a double whammy! I have to say I'm not very impressed with your governor. Not only did he delay the stay at home order, but he's refusing to allow cruisers off the ships to get them home. He was quite happy to have them embark from Florida! I've heard he's been overruled by the federal administration but I'm not sure when it will happen.

    Take care and stay well!

  5. You didn't have a choice but to obey the order. I was surprised he took so long. Right now Arkansas is one of the very few states still not told to stay home. We mostly are anyway.

  6. It seems the construction and commercial industry has been able to eak out a living longer than some other industries. I think I've seen that roadwork has still been going on around town.

  7. We went under self-isolation as of March 13, though I don't think the order went out from the state of PA for another week. The lawn and tree people are still working ... I guess because they mostly work in ones and twos and can keep safe distance. Also, car mechanics still work. They are considered essentgial.

  8. So sorry about that dust. It should soon be over and you will have your quiet neighborhood. My neighbor is putting in a rock wave breaker on his shoreline to prevent erosion The workers on the boat are not practicing any type of distance!

  9. Yup! Construction work is going on here too. And would you believe we’re still getting some tourists? Have no idea why. I’m glad you’re staying safe at home.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
