Morning.
Waiting for the letter carrier. Our tax refund hasn't come yet and we're getting impatient. We got "stimulating" to do!  Grin
I will now get caught up on everything.

Last night I realized that in addition to being an over 65, Type 2 diabetic, I also have sarcoidosis. It's been dormant for years but that doesn't meant that it couldn't flare up at any time. It usually attacks my skin but it IS primarily a lung disease.
I'm DEFINITELY gonna have to create a wardrobe of masks.....

I am tired of everything.

I'm tired of everything being a "conspiracy" to enslave the world. There are undoubtedly those who would love to use the current crisis to further encroach on people's freedom but they can't if enough of us say "no". No screaming, no hysterics. No rioting in the streets. Just a calm, steadfast statement of "This is far enough. No more."

I'm tired of people screaming about their "rights" being violated.

I'm tired of people who feel no responsibility toward their fellow human beings. Masks and social distancing are helping flatten the curve. Our medical facilities are busy as hell -- in some places at least -- but not overwhelmed to the point of collapse. I do not consider wearing a mask when in public to be an encroachment on my civil rights. I consider it a minor inconvenience -- it can be hard to breathe in those things -- but hardly worth civil disobedience and/or mass demonstrations.

I'm tired of people who think that their "right" to be a self-centered Smiley trumps my right to protect my health and that of my family. No one has the right to put the health and/or safety of others at risk under any circumstances. Period.
So yeah, I'm going to be spending even less time on Facebook because I am THIS CLOSE to telling the world exactly what I'm "tired" of and I wouldn't be especially diplomatic or tactful about it!

Afternoon.
We're back from our produce run and lunch. Things are starting to open up around here so the stores were more crowded but not to the point that they were counting us. THAT will come this weekend so we're getting the shopping done today and tomorrow!

Had to put another person on my fb friends list on a 30 day hold. Her paranoia about the government has gotten to the point where she's bordering on irrational. She might be irrational in real life but fortunately, I'm here and she is several states away so I don't have to deal with her if I don't want to. Frankly, she's making my head hurt. Maybe things will improve and when the 30 days are up, she'll have calmed down somewhat. I hope so anyway.....

We have incoming weather.
We'd know even if we didn't have access to radar. It comes from being observant and living in the country for decades....

A book I ordered has arrived. I look forward to some stimulating metaphysical reading today.

It appears that the incoming weather decided to go around us.
I'm NOT complaining....

Morning.
Back from payday banking and lunch.
Rainy again.

No more knee gooping for me. My knees broke out in a rash last night -- a goop side effect so I've stopped using it since there are some other more serious effects that can only be detected by blood and/or urine tests which aren't available right now, so...... I'll have to tough it out when the pain gets bad again.

Now to get caught up....

Still getting caught up with chores. Since I can't goop my knees, I'm being extra careful to rest them periodically which means I can only be on my feet for a (relativity) short time.

Moonie got her new glasses today. The frames are blue and look very pretty. Even better, she can see! It's all good.

What's happening?
Not much at the moment.
Or at least nothing I can talk about.

Still trying to find an English pronunciation for "strophalos". Lots of images but no clue on how to pronounce it. It being a Greek word, sounding it out in English "could" be totally wrong. I "do" know that "H" is silent in Greek. (Something I ran across in my searching.) Normally, "ph" could be pronounced "f" but it could be silent.  Smiley
My head hurts.....

As it is 1 am, I'm going to head out even though Skywise hasn't called yet. It's Friday so who knows when he'll be home. I just hope he doesn't fall off the loading dock again. Stupid truck driver....

Everyone sleep well, be safe and STAY HEALTHY!!!  Smiley  Smiley

Afternoon!
We're back from Greenwood and some of the places we wanted to go ARE ACTUALLY OPEN! Smiley

I got the comics they were holding for me and some art/craft stuff in the store next door. Michael's and Hobby Lobby are still restricted so we didn't go there. There will be other opportunities. We were able to get in at Half Price Books (they recognized us! Shocked )and we were able to get some new books.

The gal at Arby's said that they expect to have their dining room open on June 1st. I hope so. I'd like to eat my food at a table like a civilized human being!

Moonie is working on dinner and as soon as she's set the pot to simmer, I'll be in the kitchen once again washing dishes. I've been downstairs digging through things looking for a book -- which I found along with a couple of others. If my legs aren't complaining too much tomorrow, I'm going to start throwing things out that need to be thrown.
So much to do before my body gives out....

Dinner's over and I'm working on a glossary for one of my projects while staying off my feet and keeping my legs reasonably straight. Poor Skywise is having knee pain too. When he fell off the dock, he landed on his knee and shin. The bruising is almost gone and the scab on the quarter sized scrape on his knee has fallen off but he's still having pain in his knee. Between the two of us, we have one pain-free leg.....

And... the rain that was coming decided not to.
Even the weather is doing social distancing.
