Just wanted to say I did get my shopping done just fine. The daytime was perfectly normal.

I think the stress is making me want to buy lots of pretty and fun things, though. Feeling cooped up, literally or symbolically, is not a good thing for me. It's what got me going nuts for Barbies in 2018.

Nice pic of your mom, Tatoulia!

The butterscotch bunny is my boy.

I should try to sleep...

I just love that picture of your Mom sitting there in her little pink sweater!!! 😀

YEA! you get to actually get to visit her tomorrow!!!

That will be so good when you can have real visits.
Sorry you won't get to see your little Sister (((HUG)))

WTG! for doing laundry and saving some to do tomorrow.
I already washed my new things and those pillowcases bring back memories of my Granma's linens.
The line dried smell, the feel of the quality cotton and the beautiful embellishments.
I always pick them up whenever I see them in the thrift shop.
These two were 2.50 but were 1/2 price so only cost 1.25 today, not even a dollar each.
And they are in mint condition.

Had to water the garden this evening, the heat had everything wilted.
Tomorrow I plan to grocery shop.
Not out of cat cans and cat snax yet but want to make sure to have enough to last.
Plus I need fresh produce and some kind of food for me.
Planning to be there early when it's just old people and still not hot out.

WAY TO GO! Subclinical
Good luck sorting out the stuff that filled the back of your car.

What plans do you have for this next week?
Hope you plan to have some fun times. 😉

That is my mom! She's with her dear cat who passed away last summer. Sweet little devoted cat. Thank you for looking at my pictures! Yes my building was painted as part of that big project we did. I think two summers ago! They did a good job restoring the brownstone.

Yay for the garbage !!! You are working really hard!!

Tillie!!! What a great day you had! Well done! I would absolutely love those pillowcases. They sound very sweet.

Other than mailing postcards, I didn't leave the house today. Too humid.

I did one load of unmentionables and one load of mentionables. Didn't change my sheets. Will do tomorrow.

I get to see mom for a few minutes tmr! And not this week but soon they are opening up the place so I can visit her, by appointment only, on her patio. So one step closer to the cat, but still so far away.

Love you all.

SubC I just posted the picture I took of mom when she was on the patio last week! Thank you for calling her lovely. She really is.

Tatoulia! Is that your mom? Is that your mom with the kitty? Your mom is lovely. ❤️

Also, did they paint your building?

CM, I love the flower and Barbie pictures. My favorite bunny is the sandy one.

Cleaned out my room today. Two full big trash bags and the back of my car is full of mostly stuff I need to sort through.

The eighth positive covid19 infection in the county is a 30 year old male who works out of the area.
He is quarantining at home so he must not feel too sick.

Good Afternoon Everybody

I soooooo want to hold and hug that big white Bunny!!! 😀
Those flowers are gorgeous.

I almost always take the lesser known/traveled back country roads.
Mainly anything to avoid that deadly highway.

WTG! Bunny boy for feeling better!
My sister had a horse that was always getting colic and those times were always stressful and painful to see the horse suffer.

Relieved you didn't have much going on there last night (((HUG)))

Stay safe and stay healthy 😀

Hi Tatoulia
Enjoy your little load of laundry 😀

It got hot here early but it's getting hotter still.

Got my water bottled filled.
The hospital auxiliary thrift shop was open,
only one car parked out front.
They request people wear face masks and have hand sanitizer placed all around.
I felt it was safe to be in there.
I had a BLAST!!! ;D
bought a 7 inch tall ceramic Tardis
a wonderful tea towel with Owls all over it
a pretty pink washcloth
two embroidered vintage pillow cases with crocheted trim.
a pretty white blouse
"The Revenant" DVD
A massive 3 wick scented pillar candle
a jar Yankee candle
Yankee votive candle
2 hand crafted tapers
another cinnamon scented jar candle

Was so much fun to do that and the social distancing was great.
Plus it was nice to talk to a few humans.
Last night Steven was ranting that I should pack heat when going into town which is ridiculous.
It is VERY peaceful out here.

I put the ceramic Tardis in my garden with the Chrysanthemums.

Great plans on the animals, CM! And yes, the side streets will be much less traveled. I hope you are getting your water Tillie. I believe it is humid today but I haven't opened a window so it's pleasant in here!

Doing one short load of unmentionables that then I will hang to try. I would like to do other laundry but don't want it to take over my day.

Good Morning

YEA! For the happy news Subclinical! 😀
May your Goat herd thrive and your Chickens stay off the Fox's menu.

Hi Tatoulia
Yes, remove those pics and keep the site full of happy positive sights.
I was very impressed that the areas were already so clean, just boarded up broken windows.

Most all day yesterday everywhere was huge crowds of peaceful people marching through the streets.
Happy you had your favorite officer stationed near you.
So many police taking a knee in support and doing gentle crowd control.
There were very moving speeches given by people in the crowds.
I am happy your Mom got to see the well behaved protest march and you were all safe.

I believe the news reporters were wanting to report more than just the peaceful protests and were looking hard for the agitators.
But I want us all to keep focus on the positive movement for change. 😀

Going to town to fill the water bottles before it gets up to 95 degrees today.

Boy bunny is back on track, yay! He has had worse episodes than this. One thing I'm realizing is that he does take longer to come out of the episodes. But some of my bunnies in the past also did, I just remembered yesterday.

With this little guy it just requires patient nursing and diligent observation to do everything we can once he's back to normal to keep him balanced. I'm wondering if we can give him some probiotics - but the trick is getting them through the stomach acids to the intestines. Our bunny club gal had one trick I need to talk to her more about.

Congratulations SubC on the twins and that you got a nice girl baby to keep. 🙂

Tatoulia, yes, she is going to board the doggie because normally he would want to sleep on her bed and won't be able to, and some other reasons I can't recall. He will enjoy and get lots of exercise, too, so win win. We've been making sure he's up to date on shots for that.

The cats will have to make do with me. I pray they can also coexist peacefully with one another! And of course I'll be taking care of all bunnies and the fish as well.

I'm glad things were relatively peaceful in Boston. Wichita had some more trouble at that spot a couple miles from me but I have no need to go that way for an indefinite time. I can go to other library branches if I need the library.

The Newmarket Square shopping center and the Dillon's across had protestors but it was mostly peaceful. Around 10:00 there were rumblings but sounds like nothing major and people mostly dispersed by 11:00.

I am going to go that way cautiously, I think, in just awhile, since it's payday and I'd planned to. I'll have my list, get in get out, be aware of surroundings, etc.

One crazy advantage of being an agoraphobic driver: I have awareness of lots of side street routes for when the big streets are more trafficky than I like! So I can use that knowledge to my advantage in situations such as this.

But like I say, I'm not going to meander around like I might ordinarily. And I'll keep track of the time. This morning has been full of interruptions; I would've preferred to get away sooner, but I think I'll still have plenty of time.

I just checked on Facebook and saw that my childhood neighborhood friend, Sgt. Yarberry, has indeed retired from the police force. I'm relieved. Such an officer of integrity, and a good man. Don't want him to have served so long only for something bad to happen right before he could retire.

There's been so much news I haven't said as much lately about decluttering goals, only mentioning them in passing. But I do still have them and intend to pursue them! 😉

I put a big white bunny from the shelter and a few new flowers on IG to keep everyone's spirits up.

OK, if I'm going to do this, I better get going. I'll be sure and check back in when I get home.

Congratulations on the twins, SubC!!!!! Wow!!!! And I'm so proud of you and your post it notes!!! WTG for finding a good system!!!!! I hope the gardening can help lift your mother's spirits even a little bit.

Cm, glad Bunny is getting the proper medication. I do think that your roommate's treatment will go well. She will just have to be diligent in following the diet (very easy and very healthy) and then be sure to keep toothbrush and other objects out of shared spaces. She must close the toilet before flushing it, and she must flush as much of her stuff as possible. Do you have any plans for the animals? I am admittedly not up to date so you may have told us. Could you refresh my memory?

Tillie I am keeping the faith! Last night was weird because it felt like the media was trying to stir up trouble. It feels weird even saying that. There was a lot of police activity by me but that was shootings and unrelated to the protest. Our protests were great and peaceful. And we got to see one of my all time favorite police officers Kim Tavares. She was outside, taking a knee, eventually got all the officers to take a knee. She's so great. Look her up. She's a singer and she's terrific in every way.

BF closed his shop but stayed in it til around 10 PM. I wanted him to come here but instead he stayed at work and had the police scanner on and we watched tv together over the phone. He eventually went home. My mom called around 9 to say there were hundreds of people by her place and they looked like nice people and they were well behaved.

I have a lot to do today. I'm not doing laundry because that distracts me from my work. I may do a bit I'm the afternoon.

Tillie I think I'll take down the pictures of the boarded up places. I just wanted you to see them. I don't think they have any other purpose so I will be deleting.

Hi CriticalMass

Well, if you don't go to the store tomorrow that's alright.
I believe in a few more days things should level out and become more predictable.
The new , new "normal".

Hope Bunny's tummy is better and he's eating without prompting (((HUG)))

Tomorrow morning I plan to go to town and fill my water bottles.
The county health website has added one more covid19 infection, bringing our total up to 7.

Watching "Dark Shadows, the beginning" tonight.

Happy for your mom with her flowers, SubC. And wtg on 5 post it notes gone! *applause*

Tillie, I know what you mean about the tiny shoes, though I think they are in more danger of me stepping on one than anything. Wherever they went when they dropped must be out of sight. Irony is that one of them I found some months ago after it had been lost, then soon afterward I dropped it again and couldn't find it! 😜 Plus our kitties are usually pretty obvious when they find a surprise toy. Heh heh.🐱

I've got some art pieces and some blank paper for future use to go through. I think one doll shoe may turn up as I do that. If I can avoid stepping on it!

Tomorrow will be... interesting. Targets closed down at 4:00 today. We have two older malls, Towne East & Towne West. East closed early as well. They have had security issues for a long time.

Then there is the further out, more upscale and busy west end area, Newmarket Square. Target, Walmart, and other big box retailers, restaurants, etc. There have been threats on social media re that center, and several stores and restaurants there closed early too.

The big Dillon's grocery on the corner across from it was where my roommate wants to go sometime, but we don't have to right away. I had been thinking a few days ago of stopping by there and Newmarket tomorrow. Plans may change... if I check the news and it seems safe, I will not dawdle.

Otherwise, more quarantine, and if I can stay calm, perhaps some decluttering and catching up focus in the time at home. Maybe even art, writing, and sewing.

And praying for everyone's safety, for healing, for solutions.

I will have to find my links and go see all these pictures!

I got rid of FIVE post it notes today and one was the evaluations. They are all turned in!

Today Dad drove Mom to the Little local nursery where she always gets her spring impatiens for the flower beds. It is outdoors and there were three other women there, all wearing masks. Mom got her wagon (wiped the handle) and used it to block off The whole row. Then she carried her flats over to it and started to pull it to the counter, but the girl waved her off and said "load first, then come pay" because she was wiping the counter. So mom loaded, paid, sanitized and rode home. She said she was very shaky by the end of it, but it was good to get away from the house.

Tomorrow is my busy day away from the house - recycling drop and clean my classroom.
