I have written hundreds of blogs in the last two weeks. Have you seen them? The answer is “no”! Sadly those blogs maybe lost in history and time due to fast pace of events unfolding each and every day.
But, we are still healthy, food is available in the stores.
The Hubby has now finally relocated from his office at the airport to the office at the house which means I have less space to do my thing. As most of you are also enjoying all the quality time together with your significant others I am sure you all feel like “ why haven’t we done this before.”
Let’s face it. The Hubby can now help me in all those tasks he only accomplishes when I am traveling alone in the US. He has to follow the strict towel folding rules. Accomplish the “Honey do list” that recently has gotten totally out of control with the new situation facing the world.
Our, yes…I said “our” office now looks like a operational war room with lists, dates, tasks to be accomplished, tasks already accomplished and more equipment than I ever use for writing. I guess this airplane business is serious stuff.
In other news we have been preparing for our chickens which arrive tomorrow. I can’t wait to hear their clucking in the back garden. Thanks to my readers and family for providing name requests. They will be revealed next blog.
Also, my tulips are in full bloom. That along with the beautiful weather has made our “home” time like a vacation resort. Maybe the Hubby thinks differently as he has been doing the heavy work. Hummm… another blog, maybe.
So, don’t fear readers/followers we are still here and keep moving forward with each passing day.
Stay safe, healthy, and humble.
The Cedar Journal 
Still going strong despite the daily doom and gloom coming from the media. Our store now limits the number of people shopping at any one time and we now have security staff to enforce it! Shelves are still empty in places. Though we get supplies daily it’s usually a bit of this or some of that. Because we took a huge hit when the idiots went mad it will be some weeks before we get anywhere near normal. At the moment we are getting no potato crisps (believe you call them chips).
Keep enjoying the yard and have fun with the hens!

OMG!!! No crisps!! It is now the apocalypse!!! You can tell where people’s priorities are if all they are doing is eating chips, drinking beer, and watching non stop NetFlix!!

And how are they using all of the toilet paper?

Well… I wonder that too. But, I have ideas for my future blogs for sure. It could be like our local eye exams, they are giving it away as a promotion. It is funny to think that maybe the eye exam place might have purchased a large quantity for the promotional thing and then seeing it not knowing what was going on people thought there would be a storage thus starting a world wide crazy buying if the stuff.😂

I like your positive attitude in this worldwide crisis. Worrying about does not remove the problem. Let us follow the directions of our health authorities and stay calm and do creative things.

Thanks for the update! It’s good to keep in touch with our blogging friends right now. Sounds as if you are coping as well as you can, which is all any of us can do.

I really worry about my adult kids. The ones that live close to you work in the hospital and at Enterprise Car Rental. They seem very stressed. The youngest is living like he doesn’t have a care in the world which I find strange. So good to hear from you. What are they doing at the shelter?

That’s so hard, to be so far away from your kids when something like this hits. And working in the hospital is added stress! Please know how grateful we all are for those who are “on the front lines” during this pandemic. I’m surprised Enterprise isn’t allowing work from home, but I guess not all jobs there can be done that way. My son was working in the office until early this week, he works for an internet company so is deemed necessary.
The shelter is closed to the public, but staff and some volunteers still go in to care for the animals (I’m one of them, but not very often since I’m babysitting full time.) I figure since it’s closed to the public and so few people are there and they constantly clean everything, there’s not much danger involved. They have just started “curb-side adoptions” where the application is online, the interview is over the phone, and then someone brings the dog out to the people in their cars. I’m not sure how that will work out, but I hope it does. The dogs need to get out of that shelter!

Interesting way to handle adoptions. I would love to hear how that works out too. My son was relocating cars all week. He was crazy busy when this all started and DOD ordered a stand in place and cancelled all current contracts. The hospitals there in St Louis seemed to have gotten on top with procedural issues earlier than in other places. Stay healthy and safe.

My poodles (Raven and Benji) were quick to point out that they do not approve of your “alternative aisle” Of course, this selfish stance was quickly abandoned when I pointed out the how tasty some countries think they are ha! Good to see everything is moving along over there – not sure about the dual occupancy den – Linda and I have our own dedicated rooms so we don’t kill each other. Can;t wait to see pics of the chicks. Oh, and that tulip seems familiar .. not sure why … hmmmmm.

B- funny about the tulip. Hummmm. My friend Janet keeps telling me she has to keep buying dog food and keeping her four labs fat for “just in case plan”. So I laughed when you told your two the same. Same as that rabbit I see on my visits to the pet store. Really hope we only have to joke about that. Chicken pictures are coming soon to a blog near you.😂

Glad to see you’re doing all right! Mick has set up his home office on a corner of our dining room table and I’m amazed at how many Zoom meetings he’s had, including one thesis defense. That I have my own home office already was a big help with this transition. Our dog, of course, is delighted that we’re both home all the time now. BTW, she is a little too small to be worried about becoming food for anyone! This is certainly teaching me to be a more mindful, less wasteful cook.

I’m finding getting back to blog reading. It’s good to catch up with you in your corner of the world and learn that all is well and to see what you are up to these days. Be well, my friend.

Thanks Audrey. All is well is relatively relative to the second in time during the day. One thing is for sure, home office is not the answer in these situations!!!! To many issues can’t be solved from a home office and bring someone’s work into where they live and subjecting the peace within the household 24/7 with work issues is NOT healthy!!!! I would take the virus over this home office for both of us hands down (and I am someone with a risk factor.) at this point the stress of him working from the house is more likely to kill one or both of us long before the virus.
