Day Six:
I got up at 4:30, made coffee, and read the news. It’s getting even creepier out there. More States are locking down, borders are closing in Europe, and Italy now has eight-hundred dead. The US’s cases are climbing everyday and with that the death rate. New York has the most cases, and is leading the country. Louisiana will be locking down Monday. I have a hard time believing that it is taking these other States so long to wake-up to the fact that this is no joke.
Still working on the blog. Every time I think I have the formatting down, I change my mind. I have plenty of time, there’s really no rush.
Erin and I did our walk even earlier this morning, we did our normal two and a half miles, it was chilly…
We got home and Erin started prepping pancake mix from scratch, we had no real milk so she used vanilla soy, and she had no baking soda so she used egg whites. While she made the batter I emptied out our storage closet on the patio. I have wanted to clean it out for a while. The reason I did it now was that I thought I had some face masks in there. Nope. But now the closet is clean. I went in as she was finishing the pancakes. I had some coffee while she finished. I then made eggs over easy and bacon. We got out the maple syrup and had a yummy breakfast.
While Erin read on the patio, I finished up a few things out there. Then I checked the oil in both vehicles, and put the charger on the Ford. The Fusion or Henry as we call it is a plug-in hybrid, so we can drive it in electric mode while we aren’t driving much. We haven’t been in a car for over a week now. I can’t remember not being in a car for over seven day in a row, except for when backpacking, or being on a cruise ship. I’ll probably never go on a cruise ship again, they are dirty diseased places, they had problems long before this virus hit. I had a very nice cruise of the Caribbean with my best friend about ten years ago. Erin and I have no desire to do it in the future.
We watched a movie in the evening while we ate salads. The movie had only been out for a week, but because of the virus they released it to steaming early. “The Invisible Man” cost us twenty-dollars, about the same as we would pay at the theater. I believe this will be common in the near future, it was smart of Universal Studios to do this due to the shelter-in-place order. We both liked the movie.
We did our own things the rest of the evening, and went to bed.
