For my wife and I, we started staying at home March 16, 2020, and I remember when I went to my
monthly cancer treatment last month on March 26, I was wearing a surgical mask and disposable gloves and made a point of gargling mouthwash in my car before leaving the parking lot... We postponed all our medical appointment until the month of June except for those that were critical to our health and for one I had a video teleconference...
Once or twice a week, my wife who has a better immune system than I do, drives to a restaurant for a take out meal so that we can support our local restaurants as best as we can.
From what I have heard on FOX NEWS, many Americans are having a difficult time staying at home because they are the most comfortable and relaxed when they are around other people. I logically understand why it is difficult for those people while at the same time cannot identify with those feelings because I have never needed to be around people for my happiness or sense of self-worth or comfort.
What do I do each day?
First of all, I give our three cats their morning treats and then fill their food bowls which are typically empty from their nocturnal hunger...
Second, I watch FOX News for a couple of hours while drinking coffee in an effort to stimulate my body to have a bowel movement... sounds crazy... but, this has been a routine for me since 1966 and 99% of the time it works perfectly...
Third, I start writing...
I have a Composition Notebook in which I write each day. It could be thoughts, feelings, concerns, a list of things to do, financial analysis of our future funds, recipes that I found on the Internet, counting my calories for a meal I want to cook, a political opinion, ideas for a novel, and possibly a poem which does not happen that often anymore.
I review my 4 blogs and make sure that something is ready to be posted for the day and if not, then I create a post and schedule it.
Fourth, I eat breakfast and take my 6 morning pills.
Fifth, I work on my chores either inside the house or outside the house.
Sixth, is lunch.
Seventh, is preparing article for my blogs which includes research.
Eighth, I cook something if I need to and if I don't I play with the cats.
Ninth, I eat dinner
Tenth, I watch something that we recorded on Cable or a series on Netflix until it is time for my evening pills and bed.
This is my routine and it never gets old.
I am comfortable being with my wife and cats and writing.
I want for nothing.
I am content.
