Thursday Thoughts

Hi everyone, here it is lunchtime and I feel like I have already done a full day's work.  Had to take Bill back to the Dr. for another problem.  This is our 3rd time there this week, for 3 different things.  Any could have put him in the ER, so glad the local doc can take care of things at the clinic.  Now for some gardening.  How are you all doing?

Barb, I have been shamefully lazy so far today.  I actually just got out of my jammies.  It is finally starting to get warmer here but still not shorts and tank top weather like it was last week.  Maybe tomorrow. 

I went to the fish room first after I got up.  I have Discus fry attached.  That's cause for celebration!  I have another pair staring at the cone and shimmying from time to time.  I spent a lot of time just staring at fish.

I watched my little chickies for a while, then sat by the veggie garden and watched it grow.  It really has grown since I planted it.  Most of my stuff is doing well, but I don't like the looks of my Rosemary.

As soon as I call the lady at the bank and see if my deposit from the government has shown up I'll get out to the flower gardens.  I have weeds to pull, plants to move and mulching to do.

Hi everybody. I've been out most of the day running errands . I am trying to get them done in one day so I don't have to keep going out.

It's been a depressing day as so far I know of 8 people, 6 of which I personally knew and some of who were friends that have succumbed to this virus.

I plead with my daughter and granddaughters each day to stay in the house. They have been very good for the most part except to get essentials.

The governor just extended the shelter in place until May 15th.

Wow, that's awful, Willie.  I have a friend who recently got out of the hospital and is recovering at home.  This is Twee, the owner of my LPS.  I was in their shop when she was still asymptomatic and we always have a nice chat.  But she was up on the ladder changing water while I was there.  Her kids have pneumonia but are recovering well with just antibiotics.  She had her doctor write a prescription for her husband as a precaution.  He has been fine so far.  The virus is not endemic in this area so this news came as quite a shock.

Be careful, it doesn't take much for it to spread.

Sorry Willie.  Such a sad time for so many people around the whole world now.  It is still almost unimaginable to my mind.  More news recently about how it began.  All so sad.  Take care of yourself.
