607 people have been tested.

For our state, there have been 5, 250 confirmed cases & 208 virus related deaths.

Nothing much happened yesterday.

Wife made roasted chicken leg quarters with instant mashed potatoes and spinach salad for lunch. We finished the crayfish stew for dinner.

Wife had a little meltdown yesterday. A woman from our church had asked her to make 2 masks and identified the fabric she wanted. However, when Wife finished them and I delivered them, the woman came over to complain about it. This caused Wife a fair of amount of stress on top of what she's already dealing with. She went back through her text message history with the woman and found that her requests for which fabric were very vague and did not outline what fabric her friend wanted, so wife made two masks of the same fabric that she wanted. Oh the drama!

Did not work out yesterday due to all the drama because I need to be a good husband and just listen to Wife vent her frustrations. I work out my chest, arms, & back today.

All for this morning.

Lenten Fast Post #3

On Saturday, I fasted all day. I did have a breakfast in the morning after sunrise b/c I legitimately felt hungry, so I had 1/2 cup of instant oatmeal, some blueberries, an apple, 3 dates, and a banana. I did not eat again until well after sundown when I got some chicken nuggets and chicken fries from Burger King b/c I was waiting on a locksmith to let me in house b/c I had locked myself out.  Sundays are "feast days" in the Methodist tradition so I had a balanced breakfast and then did not eat until after 7pm, when I had spaghetti, salad, and 4 St. Louis style ribs.  I have eaten nothing today, so I'm very much looking forward to dinner, which I expect will be a roasted potato cubed with carrots, leftover ribs, and a salad. Prior to the breaking of the fast, I will of course offer up a prayer and then break the fast.  All for today.

The COVID Chronicles #39: Hail Storm!

Image
We had about 30 minute hail storm yesterday here in Old Mining Town and it did a number on our vegetable garden. It also knocked out power for about an hour. Wife was home alone and took the video above.  It also did a number on our vegetable garden. Below is a picture of what is left of our volunteer squash plants. It looks like we had one already starting.  Here's what it looked like before: Here's the zucchini plants:  And the beans:  So tonight, I raked up the leaves that were torn off our apricot tree and buried them in the new compost bed. Then I lit a fire of dried grassroots (that were still very wet in the middle):

The COVID Chronicles #30: Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day. Instead of getting together for a meal, we all got together on Zoom for what has become a weekly family chat with my sister and husband in the VA. Wife and I painted the wall opposite our computer with a Mother's Day message and some artwork by Wife, which means that today, and every following day until we paint the wall, I will now have to use a virtual background in my Zoom meetings with students or otherwise. This is supposed to be the last week of the stay at home order for our state. It remains to be seen if it is to be extended again. We're supposed to be able to dine out in restaurants again, but Wife and I are going to maintain our "lockdown mentality" for awhile. I'm still waking up, so all for this morning.
