The COVID Chronicles #9

We are up to 19 cases in our Arizona county. If you would like to follow the growth or decline of the COVID-19 virus in our county, you can visit https://covid-cochisehealth.hub.arcgis.com/

For lunch yesterday, Wife made chashu-don again, even though she said it would not be an everyday or regular food. We also had baby spinach leaves. For dinner we made our dinner. I had 1-cup of macaroni & cheese, 3 ribs, and Modelo beer. 

Wife had her Zoom choir rehearsal last night and I needed to help her understand some emails that were sent to her by the instructor. Wife experienced frustration due to the verboseness of the emails she received and the oft-repeated, but subtle difference in instructions at that times contradict something that was previously stated or understood. 

After her rehearsal was over, she came out and made herself dinner. I went out for a drive in one of the cars since I had not left the house since last Wednesday when I drove to Sierra Vista for the purpose of purchasing an office chair. I did not go to BK, though I wanted to. Wife's words of "betrayal" echoed in my head, plus I know BK food is nothing something that should be eaten more than 1x per month...and the drive thru line was too long. 

It's Thursday morning. All for today. Have a great day to whomever is reading this!

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.
