I'm walking and exercising everyday, often throughout the house if the weather is rainy as it has been lately, and of course, most everything is done thru delivery these days so have about broken my back getting some of those items out of their huge boxes and down the hall to storage! And then getting those shipping boxes the size of a car through the house, thru the utility porch and out to the yard and then over into the alley the night before pickup. Then ordering groceries is a several-day wait for delivery but safer than going in. They leave it on the porch and you get to lug the bags in through the house to the kitchen, empty them and put everything away. Fresh produce often has to be repackaged, etc. for the frig. Lots of work just keeping up with it all.

Watching lots of old movies and reading books! Thank God for the world of books we have at our fingertips. Oh, and washing my hands after I touch anything that came in from outside! Went to doctor's for a check-up after my December fall and only 2 patients - me and one other besides sketeton staff. Said next month likely thru telemedicine. Wore a mask I put on according to WHO guidelines and tossed it the minute I got home. Came in and immediately removed all my clothing and clogs into the washing machine and showered right after. Nobody gets inside so far!

Pharmacy is drive-thru or delivery so no contact there except the sacks, paper junk that attends Rx.'s and the bottles(which I sanitize with hand-sanitizer) and sit alone untouched for days afterward and then transfer pills to older bottle and toss the new one. WWWWWWashing, washing, washing hands and then moisturizing to keep them from chapping. Gone through half bar of soap in 1 1/2 weeks and 1/4 jar of hand cream.

Everybody stay safe. This too will pass and so far, mortality rate is low, morbidity mild and most recover rather soon, hopefully with some immunity.

I have not been out to any supermarkets YET. But will have to go soon, I am dreading it because I don't know how ppl attitudes are, and i am not one to take any c$ from anyone, things could get nasty real fast. Ppl have a tendency to take advantage of senior ppl, I am one senior you cannot intimate, and I don't back down. I will not leave my house with the expectation, but will be ready if it happens. We have a lot of tourist in my town that have no respect for residents.

I went to Kroger this morning. They have seniors only from 7-8 a.m. Everyone was very courteous and keeping distances. I only saw one person that didn't appear to be over 60. I hope it will be fine for you too.

Sounds like you are being very safe and productive! I hope to start reading again soon. But first we are going camping for a few days. I can't think of a better way to keep social distancing.
