The day after. Cinco de Mayo or the 5th of May. Lots of people will be partying today. Hope they stay safe.
Lori had a good birthday. We drove down to Jeff and Tina’s and ordered some Mexican food from Sol and visited for a few hours. We kept our distance and spent our time outside. The boys came along which made Lori happy. We then stopped at Tom and Ali’s on the way home and they had bought some cake for Lori so she at least was able to blow out a candle as we didn’t get one as she just doesn’t eat cake. She does love frosting though!
The Country seems to be over the virus and wants to get back to normal. This is probably a little too early but would probably be ok if people took precautions when they go back out. The problem is most people (sometimes including me) are just going back out without a mask and thinking this thing is over. it’s easy to become complacent. Now I don’t know if masks actually work or not but they do provide an extra barrier. The best thing we can do is still social distance I would think. I don’t think this is over. In fact I think we’re just in the beginning of it.
Now we’re facing beef shortages and price hikes of up to 60%. Costco is even rationing beef. Guess who has about 6 months worth of beef and a half a cow coming at the end of July from a rancher over by Montrose. I think you know the answer. I guess freezers are sold out everywhere. Jeff said it was the first time in six weeks he found paper towel in his grocery store. Things are a bit better up here but our local store is rationing chicken, pork and beef too. Who knew, oh wait, we did, ha.
I’m off to Denver this morning to pick up a couple checks from a few firearms that we sold. We discovered we didn’t put a window in our master bedroom that opened other than the sliding glass door so we need to have the builder order two more and replace the two in there right now. I have to have a window that opens for fresh air. In our defense we had one that did open but moved it and the new ones didn’t. We just missed it when we moved windows and didn’t think of it.
The boys are well. Jag needs to clean his room today. I’d like to buy some boxes or plastic containers so we can pack some more stuff today but don’t know if Office Depot is open. I’ll check when I get down to Big D.
Lori is still sleeping. Her headache is still with us. Sure wish it’d go away. Have some Mexican food today, be safe, be well and GB.
