Last week of February, wow! This morning at 6 I’m headed to Denver to have Lori’s car windows tinted and a clear bra put on. I have a loaner car waiting for me so I’ll run some errands while they do the work.
Lori and I went down to measure the house for furniture and need to rethink some things as we chose some stuff that’s too big. No worries though, we have a contingency plan as I always do, ha.
The number of cases of the virus in Italy has skyrocketed and is causing me supply issues so I’m trying to work around that but it looks like we will have some issues. The number of people here in the U.S. under quarantine, voluntary or otherwise, is now in the thousands. There are 325 people in Michigan alone waiting to see if they have this thing. Also as of yesterday it has “officially” been declared a Worldwide pandemic. To put it in perspective, the other pandemics the World has seen are the Spanish Flu in the early 1900’s, AIDS and H1N1 and of course back in the 1500’s, the Black Death. This is potentially the worst as we’re so connected as a World and people are still flying around and going about their business as if things are normal. Costco was a little packed at 10 am and looking at peoples carts it was clear some of them we’re taking precautions. The only thing to do now is to prepare to be on your own for a month or two and most importantly, build up your immune system as best you can. We’ve been doing this for a little over two weeks now but will increase it more in the coming weeks. This means taking natural supplements, mainly herbs like elderberry syrup and garlic daily, as well as some vitamins like magnesium and Vitamin C and Vitamin D. We’ll also start taking a blend of 5 mushrooms as mushrooms have unbelievable antioxidant benefits. They even give them to chemo and cancer patients. On top of that, we’ll avoid all sugar (as best we can) and simple carbohydrates. Simple carbs equal simple nutrition. These are the baked goods and cookies and stuff that taste so good. If you’re going to eat carbs, eat complex cards like beans and vegetables rich in fiber. That’s it for today’s lesson, ha. I haven’t seen many comments so I don’t know if you like reading about this or not. I’m putting it out there anyhow just in case it helps one of you a tiny bit as we care about you all.
The boys and Lori and I hung out most of the day. A neighbor backed into Jag in his car (he was in his jeep plowing his driveway) in the afternoon. It crinkled the hood and will need to go into the shop to get fixed. The Sherriff came by later and said if he filed a report, Anthony (our neighbor) would get a ticket as he backed into Jag. So Anthony said he was at fault and called his insurance company. What a bummer though as the car will need to go to Glenwood to get fixed which is an hour away. Jag did all the right things though as we were down at the house when it happened.
School starts today after a two week break. Time to get back at it. That’s it, take care, be safe, think for yourself and God Bless.
