Because of the corona virus we’re basically quarantined so we can’t (or shouldn’t) go out. Making sure I have everything I need has been a challenge.

I’ve been ordering stuff through Instacart which allows me to shop at Publix and Aldi and delivers things to me. Each time I’ve ordered, some stuff has been out-of-stock but finally I have nearly everything I’ll need for the long-haul.

Eventually I’ll crave more variety but I’m in truly good shape.

What I’m missing most is company. I’d love to invite someone over but that’s not acceptable.

I am avoiding contamination so I haven’t been interacting with anyone. The county has issued a “safer-at-home” order so I can’t (legally) have visitors anyway.

I’d love to be outside (even on the lanai or patio) but the oak pollen is high and I’m very susceptible so I have to avoid it. I could wear a surgical mask (which I have) but they’re realllllly hot and it’ll be 90 today. I’m therefore inside looking out.

There’s lots to watch: squirrels, bikers, birds, cranes, golf cart drivers, dogs, walkers, and even a skinny fox this morning.

Sophie has been a true blessing. She’s so much company. She follows me everywhere. I can’t go to the bathroom without hearing her pitiful crying at the door. At least I’m not talking to myself.
