Cooler. Still damp. Still sunny. 44F and 99%RH at 6am.
It was a very pleasant day yesterday, with some light wind, and not a drop of rain. Humid, yes. But with the help of the industrial floor dryer, I got the pool liner dried out and rolled up.
Did some minimal leaf blowing and raking then realized I’d have all day at home today to do that. So I stopped. Did an auction pickup. Dropped off a few smalls for my other local auction.
Ate my orange from my very own tree for breakfast. It was good. Not as sweet yet as store bought, but still good. Did I already mention that? Can’t remember.
Not feeling particularly well. Coughing, stuffed up head, sore eyes, mild headache coming and going. Feeling ‘half a bubble off’ all day. Bumping into things with my legs, stumbling. Bit of sharpness in my upper lungs. Sore throat. No fever and I can still smell and taste. So I tried to find a quick test place yesterday. There used to be at least three in the area I was in. Not any more. Big upswing in cases, EVERYONE saying “get tested” and at least 3 local test sites are shut down. Bugger me. I need a rapid result too, because I’m supposed to leave for Florida on Friday. And that’s a whole ‘nuther ball o wax…
I’ll try again today. I might have to try researching first.
I’m definitely trying the “more sleep” approach, if even for just an extra hour. So I’m going to hit “save” on this post and hit the hay.
The ‘prudent’ buying is sweeping the nation again. Maybe ‘prudent’ isn’t quite right, ‘understandable’ or ‘sensible’ might be better. In any case, if you are going into a lock down of unknown length it makes perfect sense to buy a bit more than you normally do, when you can pop down to the store at any time. Doesn’t take too many ‘bit more’ s to strip the shelves. It’s not like they stack the stuff to the ceilings, and it’s still delivered ‘just in time’. Or more likely, ‘too little too late’.
Which is why we prep -so we don’t have to worry about wiping our nethers with the cleaning paper of choice, or with some pages from Green Eggs and Ham…
TP isn’t the only thing that will be in short supply soon. Stack it high.
