I’m grateful my iPad tells me the day of the month and week. When you stay home all day everyday the days run together and it is hard to know what day it is.

We worked outside this afternoon after taking a two mile walk. It was in the mid 60’s but very windy. I mowed with the push mower and Jim worked on the garage overhang. We also cut down the tall grass by tying a string around it and using the chain saw to cut it down.

Since I am not coming back to KS for a bit I had to make different arrangements for a prescription that I need refilled. I called the pharmacy in Emporia to see if they could mail it to me. They could not but suggested I contact a pharmacy in Stillwater and have them call my pharmacy in Emporia and they could transfer the prescription to them. I called a pharmacy in Stillwater and made the arrangements. I am assuming everything worked as I didn’t hear back. I told them it wasn’t urgent. They are to text me when the script is ready for me to pick up.

I listened to the governor of KS issue her stay at home orders today. The governor in OK has not been as pro-active. I’m glad we realized last week that we needed to stay put and not go back and forth between the two places. It sure would be easier though if I knew when I might get to go back home again. Thinking it might not be until May or even June.

My mother’s cousin posted today that her brother-in-law is in the hospital with Coronavirus. That hits pretty close to home. He is a younger man with a wife and two kids. I pray he will recover.

When my prescription is ready I will go to Walmart and get some groceries and a few other things we need and then we won’t have to get out again for several days.

We grilled hamburgers for dinner tonight. Jim cooked them perfectly. They make a very simple meal and one of our favorites.

No plans for tomorrow other than to continue working on the house. Same for Monday, Tuesday,…….Rinse and repeat!

I need some T-shirts. I didn’t bring many when I came last time as I thought I was going home this week and could get them then. I may have to order some although I don’t like to make the delivery workers work so much. I may look at Walmart and see if I can find some there and if not I will have to order some as the clothing stores are closed. I don’t have any shorts with me either. I wasn’t planning on staying here this long. Although if I buy some shorts I will have to shave my legs – not sure I am ready to do that yet this year! Ha!

Feeling a bit better today. Only had a headache for a couple of hours instead of all day. My back hurt off and on but not constantly. I’ll take that as progress.

Grateful I got to mow today, grateful for hamburgers on the grill, and grateful for feeling better.
