Going to swap out my closet for Spring/Summer. Not that I'll be going anywhere to wear anything. And plant some potatoes in a growing bag. I have some from the farm I didn't get around to eating and they are sprouting.
Morning friends! Doing well. I have to run to the vet office to get some antibiotics for miss Eevee. They are closing tomorrow till when things get better. Then, we are going for a walk. That’s it. Yawn.
First time I took DH to a grocery store in California to pick up flowers and wine to take to my parents, we were strolling through the meat section and DH froze, gasped, and pointed out to the nice display of Vodka next to the steaks. He couldn't believe they sold liquor at grocery stores. I miss that. One stop shopping.
Waiting and watching. Tomorrow we, the state, go on lockdown. Except for essential needs.
I'm planning on going to the grocery store around 7:30 in the morning. We don't need a lot, just basics like bread, eggs, and milk. And chocolate. I need chocolate.
Dad's out trying to buy up some extra ammo. Sounds crazy, but it's the world we live in.
I want to get out in the yard and plant and paint things. But there is so much pollen!
I saw Wimbledon has been canceled this year. I don't know why that can't be done without an audience, and only officials.
Jesse's store is shutting down tomorrow. They are wrapping the store today.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Happy Thursday.

Can anyone recommend a good way to clean a glass pyrex roasting pan/casserole dish? Baking soda?
Let it soak. If it's browned in some places, mine have browned on the handles and the rim, it's where the glass has baked.
Crusty food bits can soak off.

Ok. Jesse is home. The store isn't closing. They are staggering the trucks, and need fewer people. He isn't laid off, and he was given an essential worker card.

Our governor is trying really hard to keep us from going on lockdown. All non essential businesses are closed, no dine in anything, public docks closed, boat ramps closed, playgrounds closed. Nowhere to go anyways.

Well. It isn't martial law lockdown.
Our Governor ordered a manditory shelter in place until April 13th, our local officials are taking it a step further, closing everything except banks, grocery stores, pharmacies, doctors, and take out/drive thru only.
We are to return immediately to our homes from any of these.
Violation can result in a $1000 fine, and/or 60 days in jail.
I expect road blocks tomorrow.

We are on lockdown until June 10th. April 13 is nothing.
I know. The local resolution is until April 28th, I think. I don't think it'll be over by then.
Personally, I think they are only giving short time frames to keep real panic down.

Going to the store after work. wish me luck. # of people allowed inside at anyone time is limited. I hear there is the occasional ruckus.

I literally need toilet paper. Not to hoard, but legitimately to use. I'm going to call ahead at my drug store and see if it's even worth my while to go.

Put the casserole dish in the
tightest fitting dish pan, and
fill the casserole with hottest
tap water. Drop in 2 to 3
denture cleansing tablets, and
let it sit for an hour or two.
Rinse with hot water, and dry.
If the stain is on the top of
the handles/rim, allow the
water to come over the top
of the dish, and add another
denture tablet.
This also works wonderfully
on glass coffee carafes, and
glass/crystal vases.

Are there any exceptions to this? Just curious, since I don’t live in Georgia. I frequently go to my dad's house to take him food. Would they be permissible?

I've written a typed letter for
DH's niece when she comes to
help us, stating that she is in
transit to/from our house, to
help me recover from surgery,
giving my address & phone.
Since it is typed, there is no
chance she made it up on the
fly, if she should be stopped
by the police for any reason.
She is alone in her house;
her husband works for the
railroad and is gone for long
stretches of time, but not in
contact with a lot of people,
so cabin fever is starting to
set in for her.
Gas is down to $1.55 locally,
and even lower than that in
San Antonio. Nice, but there
is no place for us to go.

Remember Sunday drives? You didn't need anywhere to go, you just went for a drive.
We ended up in Kentucky one Sunday. Stopped at a rest area to use the bathroom, then came home.
A Sunday drive seems like a nice idea.

I remember those Sunday drives. Nothing my dad liked better than to take my mother and me and start out in any direction just following one road and then another to see where we would go. Saw an awfully lot of little towns that way - unfortunately most of them are gone today.
Pack a picnic, find a back road, and play road trip bingo!

Yes. Caring for an elderly relative is considered essential.
