I’m changing up this title scheme since numbering is hard/I don’t want to have to read yesterday’s post to know what to call today.
A package!
The most momentous thing today was going outside to get a box of Soylent. I don’t know why the Amazon Hub didn’t open it for me yesterday when I got the other items–it’d apparently been there for a few days. I took Elvis with me because I figure he’s probably a bit cabin sick, too. He peed on all the things. We ran for a bit. I saw my neighbor Gerri walking her dog and we talked a bit, which was nice. I like Gerri.
Elvis and I bathed as soon as we got in and the (giant, heavy) box of Soylent went into 3-day isolation. As soon as he got out of the bath, Elvis lay in the tub of potting soil in the living room.
So, he got another rinse off.
Other things that happened
I also took a nap, said “Happy Birthday” to my friend Alison, and ordered cotton fabric with which to make masks. I’m not confident mask-making is actually useful, but it feels useful so I’ll do it. Plus, I want to practice using my sewing machine and masks are a nice, quick-win project.
Ordering fabric was weirdly stressful. Both Joannes and Michaels show things as in-inventory on the search results page, but they’re not in inventory when you try and add them to your shoppping cart. I guess fat quarters are in demand. No elastic or interlacing to be found, naturally.
Symptoms: I have a bit of a sore throat. This might be from all the stress yesterday at the grocery store, then the exercise of carrying heavy items up the stairs in a face mask. Or maybe I have Covid-19. It wouldn’t be from the grocery trip–the incubation period is more than 1 day. Maybe it’s just allergies. The pollen count is wicked high lately.
As of 7pm today, Fairfield County has 2717 confirmed cases. Danbury is up to 402 lab-confirmed cases. There was a delay in data entry, so some of these should have been included yesterday.
