These days take no explanation more than to yell “it’s crazy out there!” I must say, I went into self-imposed staying home in stages. I didn’t want to drink the Kool-aid of fear and panic the media seemed to be serving 24/7. I took precautions, I was the person wearing red wool gloves at Walmart the other day when I ran low on mustard and salad. I rarely shop at that establishment and don’t know what prompted the visit as I passed 3 other grocery stores on my way. I survived.

But I’ve joined the stay at home ranks and am trying to make the best of it as are you.

That’s all we can do. Fortunately, I’m a home-body type. I like my house and enjoy the nest I’ve created. I say all that knowing I’ve been inside for 10 days now, except for walks in the neighborhood. For how much longer I will be content remains to be seen. Until then, I’ve decided to look on the bright side and list some things learned so far.
