Social distance…day 3…

Well….with the latest reports that this virus situation is going to get unmanageable with the incompetents in charge and it could lead to a complete lockdown, I admit my anxiety level has ratcheted up quite a bit from earlier in the week….I guess that’s one of the problems with having time on my hands and reading so much news every day…I sure don’t want to have to put the new bike downstairs on the trainer just when the weather is going to get warm and not being able to go out is going to bring the progress on the house to a halt if I can’t get the materials I need…and the rule looks like you have to stay in unless it’s an emergency…but, I’ll be damned if I’m going to let this yard go to hell again and I am going to grow tomatoes and peppers out back this summer….so I guess I need to get the seed for that stuff this week and get it started in the basement…my anxiety is also high that I’ll have enough food to make it through a couple of months so I am going to make another run out tomorrow to see what is available in the stores and buy what I can in small quantities so that other people have the chance to stock up, too…I may even have to practice meal skipping and go down to one a day if it gets to that point…I do have ham bones for ham soup and a turkey carcass for turkey soup that I just need to get veggies for and make…that will give me 4 days per container for 3 containers for both so I can get 24 days just out of the soup if it comes to that…hey, I may even lose some weight….I’m hoping that Meijers institutes what other stores are doing and set aside a couple of hours twice a week so we old people can get in a sanitized store to shop with less crowds….that would help…and I still have a few venison steaks to eat, too….but I’m still a little concerned…have never gone through this in my life and it is new…I guess I’ll adjust once the uncertainty is gone…that’s the hardest thing for me….
