Seriously dude......

The twilight zone!!!

Pandemic Update

Stay home is still in effect.  The next week or so is supposed to be the worst. At least in New York.  Here, we have to wear masks to go in public.  I made my family some.  I still have to make the kids some, but I am not sure they will wear them or have an occasion to wear a mask.  The stores are mostly closed.  The ones that are open are done so  with new hours.  Open later and closed earlier.  I am sure the workers love that!  You can only go in one way at Walmart and leave the same.  It's freaky.

My daycare is at 60ish kids now.  I think this might be my new regular for the month.  I have changed my hours too.  cutting off 1.5 hours a day.  I like it!  but won't be able to keep those hours as they don't work for most of my parents.  Under the circumstances they understand...but for long term?  No! lol

Here are the numbers today:


United States    400,540 cases
Deaths                12,857
Recovered          21,711

Oklahoma            1,472
Deaths                      67

World            1,431,973
Deaths               82,096
Recovered       302,209

Things my son in law buys for me

He saw this at some craft & art show.  He just knew I needed to have it.  I refuse to actually use it but I keep it clean and hung on my oven.  I love having an Owl in every room.  This is a great piece.  Someone spend time hand stitching this for my enjoyment and Ben gave it a good home!

Jefferson here was the first Christmas present he got me.  It was my favorite gift of the night!  When I moved into a new home it came with me against my husband's wishes. 

While on their honeymoon... bed saw this at a store and told Katie he HAD to get that for me!  It's out on our patio out of the wind and the weather, and it is a great conversational piece.  I named him George

Valued Time

It's been a few days since I sat down to the blog.  I have been working on my book.  It's going pretty well... I am almost to the part of having it edited and that will also cause me stress.  I want it done so I can print it and I KNOW it will still need work.  My dilemma is my editor has taken a job and can't get to it as soon as I want it done.  So now I am in the process of screening other editors.  And the aren't as cheap as she was. 

But I think having it done and in print is something I need to do for me.  I am not sure if lots of people write books.  But I think if you spend 10-20 years of your life writing a book... you owe it to yourself to see it in print.  I printed my blog and it is the best thing I have done for me in a long time.  Long after I am gone my family can read my crazy thoughts and see all my typos! lol
