| My self Isolation | |
| 2020-04-07 | |
Day 1 ‐ I Can Do This!! Got enough food and wine to last a month! Day 2 ‐ Opening my 8th bottle of Wine. I fear wine supplies might not last! Day 3 ‐ Strawberries: Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who Knew?? Day 4 ‐ 8:00pm. Removed my Day Pajamas and put on my Night Pajamas. Day 5 ‐ Today, I tried to make Hand Sanitizer. It came out as Jello Shots!! Day 6 ‐ I get to take the Garbage out. I’m So excited, I can’t decide what to wear. Day 7 ‐ Laughing way too much at my own jokes!! Day 8 ‐ Went to a new restaurant called "The Kitchen". You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal. I have No clue how this place is still in business. Day 9 ‐ I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I’m getting all dressed up and going Bar hopping. Day 10 ‐ Struck up a conversation with a Spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web Designer. Day 11 ‐ Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, "What the hell do you want now?" Day 12 ‐ I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel. Day 13 ‐ If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidently touch your face. Day 14 ‐ Watched the birds fight over a worm. The Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3‐1. Day 15 ‐ Anybody else feel like they’ve cooked dinner about 395 times this month? | |

| #11 Along with #4 What broke me of the habit years ago was dicing hot peppers - jalapenos specifically - without gloves. Not only do you know it when you touch your face wrong, or even close to wrong, the oils stay on your hands until they are properly washed, especially under the fingernails. |

| #6 Day 16: Sat on the front porch and counted all of the out-of-state license plates in the neighborhood. Zip. Come to think of it there are never were any out-of-state licenses before the quarantine. Day 17: Counting the new bamboo shoots in the backyard today. Day 18: Worried about running out of booze. Watching YouTube videos to see how to make mash and a still from what we have in the house--feeling a little like MacGyver. Day 19: Reading old COBOL manuals scheduled. |

| #5 I had a supervisor once who would occasionally discover he had a lit Camel in each hand. I suppose one would have to weigh the trade-off. |

| #4 If you keep a glass of wine in each hand, you can’t accidentally touch your face Rubbing your fingers with Tabasco sauce will quickly achieve the same effect. |
