The COVID Chronicles #27

I didn't get a chance to post this morning because I ended up sleeping until 7:30a and even then it was difficult to get my  butt out of bed so I guess I'll be doing 2 days in one post. 

Yesterday, our governor announced that beginning May 8th, Arizonans can once again get a haircut at a hair salon and on May 11th, we can once again dine-out in a restaurant without having to wait for staff to bring us our food from outside the restaurant. 

Personally, I think I may come back to work looking like the guys on The Big Bang Theory Season 3, Episode 1 when they return from their summer at the north pole. Personally, I feel so much healthier after 5 weeks of eating nothing but home-cooked meals and Wife and I have enough food stockpiled that we could probably last another month in lockdown quarantine and not miss very much in the way of food, except for maybe a bi-weekly indulgent run to BK when our culinary creativity meter is on empty. We have reduced so much of our food intake to make sure our food lasted longer to a point where we're not eating very much at all. 

Wife doesn't really want to go anywhere and that includes our eye doctor appointment scheduled for Thursday. It was rescheduled and honestly, I didn't think it was going to happen, but they called today to remind us. I guess I'll either call and cancel tomorrow, or just no-show, which I think would give me more satisfaction. This way I can feel what it likes to simply not go to an appointment. I bet they won't see that coming!

The last two days I have done the workout from this app I downloaded. I did chest yesterday and arms today. tomorrow I'll do shoulders and back and then I'll do the abs before going back to legs. I wanna go back to work with some muscles and not as a flabby, girly-man.

Can't think of much else to include today. Hope you have a great night.

The COVID Chronicles #26: Quarantine (Is Not Quite Over)

Image
We are still holding at 39 cases in our county. 14 are still active cases while 25 have been released from isolation. The age group with most number of cases has been 20-44 years and not surprising, given the demographics of the county, the highest number of cases has been in the hispanic or latino community. Still no reported deaths from COVID-19 in our county. For the state of Arizona, we are currently at at 8,640 cases, with 276 new cases being reported yesterday. There are 362 reported deaths in our state as of this morning. This family has kept me entertained through all this.... The first thing Wife told me this morning was a friend of ours who lives in the northern part of the state, in a place I will refer to as "Red Rock City", had told her the stay at home order for AZ had been canceled. I looked up Google News and told her that was poppycock, aka "fake news", but that 2 county sheriffs were refusing to enforce the stay at home order. I just ques...

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):
