We walked around the neighborhood yesterday. DH wore a mask (mainly for the pollen), but I didn't - as we weren't near anyone. But if I had to get out in public for any reason (like the grocery or the doctor's) I would definitely wear one.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-19768745888422779302020-03-26T07:26:45.247-07:002020-03-26T07:26:45.247-07:00I do the same most days, Mae... watch a bit of new...I do the same most days, Mae... watch a bit of news once or twice a day... to see if there are any new changes. But it's a bit scary and I can't watch them go on and on about it.

And yes, I need something to keep me from touching my face... so I may need to wear that mask a lot. I'm constantly rubbing my eyes or sitting or laying with my hands on my cheeks... bad habit I guess these days.

Anyway, I see that my days have a similar rhythm to yours. I will look for Love Hurts on AcornTV. I am watching Anne with an E on Netflix and writing cards to a lot of people. Your cat puzzle looks entertaining. Oh, and about your red mask, I read that their benefit is that they stop you from touching your face, so it will work.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-13590768614862785232020-03-25T12:36:20.277-07:002020-03-25T12:36:20.277-07:00I relate to your day, mine have a similar rhythm. ...I relate to your day, mine have a similar rhythm.

But whatever, I'm quite used to it - but I'm sure it would panic people these days if I was out shopping... which I'm not.

I laugh when I see the weatherman doing the weather from his house. Life is very strange these days. But do continue to get outside on your walks. I think the exercise and sunshine are healthy - especially now.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-24166988253309351002020-03-25T12:25:58.982-07:002020-03-25T12:25:58.982-07:00Thank you.

Don't know if our anxiety is felt by her or it's losing Tux and Julie and being the only cat in the house? I have been spending time brushing her, talking to her, and playing with her with one of those red dot things. She's never been a lap cat, but now tends to come sit on the floor close to us. Makes me wonder if she knows something I don't know...<br />I hope you sleep better tonight, DJan. Getting enough sleep is important for your health... especially during these anxious times.

We got up earlier than usual and started our day. I've decided to find a new routine since my old one is gone for the foreseeable future. I've been upset about it all, but that doesn't help. I love your pretty cup and saucer, and I too love the little rose. Sending you a virtual pet for Ghost. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-24980404399334223862020-03-25T10:01:28.846-07:002020-03-25T10:01:28.846-07:00Thanks, Mary.

I cannot fathom how irresponsible some people are. <br />Otherwise yours sounds like a relaxing day -- well, except for the puzzle. I never found anything relaxing about jigsaw puzzles, only frustration. I did find them useful for certain highly ADD students. A break in front of a pile of puzzle pieces was strangely calming for some.<br />Stay safe.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.com
