March Journaling
1. Church day. I slept poorly last
night. Nice afternoon nap.
2. Dentist.
3. Pain clinic.
4. School day; brought to you by the
letter Ss, submarines, sheep, the number 19, and the parable of the lost sheep.
5. Women’s Bible study and errands.
6. Grandkids and daughter are coming for
two nights. My husband is sick, but it’s not likely COVID-19 which is starting
to spread all over the world. Public service announcement: It’s named that
because there are many types of corona viruses and this stands for Corona Virus
December 2019 when it was discovered to distinguish this particular strain.
7. Nice day with the grandkids.
8. Church. Such excellent preaching.
9. So this COVID-19 is officially a
global pandemic. What I don’t understand is why people are buying water and
toilet paper. Neither of those things is will be affected even if you are
quarantined. But you can’t fix stupid.
10. I was featured on a website
yesterday called ReadingismySuperPower. It was an author Q&A and was fun.
Here is the link. https://readingismysuperpower.org/2020/03/09/author-interview-and-a-giveaway-p-h-thompson-benaiah-mighty-man-of-god/
11. School day was a field trip to
Little Ray’s reptile zoo which the kids love.
12.Getting my tax receipts together.
13. Schools are closing for an extra two
weeks after March break because of the pandemic. Also they’re discouraging
large gatherings like concerts and unnecessary travel. Some churches have
canceled their services. Ours is still on so far.
14. New restrictions every day; people
are getting nervous, but really, the stores are still open, water is still
running in the taps, the power is still on. All people are asked to do is avoid
crowds. Welcome to my life.
15. Our church is still holding
services, for now.
16. Grandkids are coming for one night.
17. Went for a hike then drove thru A
& W, most restaurants are closed to patrons, only take out and drive
through because of the pandemic, which is getting more serious by the day.
Borders are closing. We have some friends and relatives who are still on vacation
and don’t seem to be in any rush to get back, even though the government is
urging them to do so while they still can.
18. I ran some errands and stopped at
Freshii. The owner knows me by name, which says something about how often I go
there. The pandemic has decreased their income by 60% and he feels bad for many
of his employees who are students.
19.I sent off our taxes today. Hopefully
they come in soon.
20. First day of spring. Very warm,
about 15 but windy. Restaurants are closed, so we ordered skip the dishes to
help support local businesses.
21. Extra cooking to pass the time, and
this enforced home arrest is only beginning. They say this may take months.
22. First online church service.
23. Feeling an underlying hum of
anxiety.
24. Had a telephone appointment with my
hormone doctor.
25. Will not do school this week. My
grandson is missing school so much.
26. Really needed a haircut but now all
salons are closed as they are non-essential. My husband is an essential worker,
because we still want water to come out of our taps.
27. Today it’s my mom’s 80th
birthday! We’ve had to delay her party.
28. Watching some concerts on Youtube
through our big screen t.v, like Supertramp and The Police. We like to be in
our time warp.
29. Second week of virtual church. My
husband is preaching this morning.
30. Is it really likely this will last
half a year? I can’t imagine.
31. Went to one of my pain clinics for
nerve block injections to my back. I’m glad they’re still open even though it’s
mostly empty and everyone is covered from head to toe. I even wore a mask there
and to the grocery store. No one looked twice. A friend who runs The Tartan
House bed and breakfast is now offering soup and scones, so we bought some to
help her out. They are delicious.
