Wednesday we went to a State Park for a little 'social distancing'. We called ahead to see if it was still open and took Cindy along. We were there for several hours exploring all the paths, creeks and the lake: enjoying the rare these days sunshine. We only saw one other person in the park, although there were a few other cars, and we saw one snake. Thankfully, he wanted to keep his social distance also. I think Cindy scared him away. They had police tape around the playground equipment and all the group buildings, which was weird and a reminder of what was going on even in our excursion outdoors.
Yesterday we drove out to see my parents, Dad has been trying to get Hubby some odd jobs, so he changed the oil in the car of the older woman next door to my parents. She's also the one we bought the camper from. She came over to the house bringing Mom flowers from her garden, which was very nice.
Today I did at least 5 loads of laundry, made potato salad, hardboiled eggs and cleaned up the kitchen twice. It seems like every time I sat down some buzzer or beeper was going off. I did manage to get a little work on my shawl done as well as read a few chapters from a book. Hubby went to his Mom's house to fix her car.
Hubby got a paycheck from the ASU for the two days he worked before they closed the college, so that was a nice surprise. They are going to re open April 17th, unless things change.
Nora, my hubby would rather work on something that do a workout with me, even going for a walk. I think its just part of his work ethic and personality. Something like he has to have visible proof that he did something productive today. Whereas most of the stuff I do each week gets dirty again within hours, such as vacuuming or cleaning up the kitchen.
Cambet, I looked around my bathroom a few days ago and thought yuck. The prior owner painted the oak trim in the bathroom and kitchen white. Fine, expect the dust and dirt shows up a lot better in there, the two rooms your really want the appearance of clean! I've decided the next rainy day I'm going to clean the bath and then the kitchen, nook and cranny.
SB, I'm glad to hear your weather has improved, especially that you could get out and walk. More storms tomorrow but today was nicer than I thought it would be, not that I made it outside to enjoy it.
