Well March is just about in the books and I remember back to the warnings of a Shakespeare play or saying "beware the Ides of March" or something to that affect, well this has been a month to remember if I may digress: this insidious virus that has quarantines, no sports on the tube or any being played by all the major sports team, a shortage of toilet paper and food items due to hoarding and those in the congress holding up funding to get their own pet pork projects into the bill to screw the common man/woman and constantly denigrating our potus Trump. Sounds like something out of a Stephen King story or George Orwell or a refection of what one candidate in the next election if he were elected would bring on as a result of his socialist ideology.
I started the day on Saturday with an after 6 rollout to my routines that start with the cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I spent some quiet time with my Creator and Lord in humble thanksgiving and lifting several up by name. The list grows longer each day but all seem to be doing as well as can be expected due to their health and age issues. Afterwards I checked on the world news through the FOX cable news which is becoming the most accurate and unbiased networks to keep US(A) in formed of the dangers with this virus and what is being done to make life as safe as possible. I find the MSM is so full of hatred for our potus they have lost all integrity and credibility to be considered a worthy outlet for information. They have even mentioned the possibility of not broadcasting the live daily briefing about this virus by Trump's team to America. Never before have I seen such vitriol by supposedly patriotic folks towards a sitting Potus, who so many in the nation listen to for guidance and reassurance. It's despicable and I think borders on sedition.
We have self quarantine to an extent except for family. There has been no contact except verbally with those we regularly hug and hand shake. I have given away lots of of leafy greens from the garden to neighbors and friends as God's bounty is pouring out and over flowing with garden goodies. I cooked a huge mess of collards greens for our supper we enjoyed with Amy and family last evening. We all gave air hugs as we ate smoked pulled pork, tater tots and cold slaw. Nancy made a huge batch of cup cakes as well. I passed on the cup cakes for now as she brought 4 back home with us. I'm trying to keep the weight down to between 180-185 but its difficult when she makes apple pie with vanilla ice cream and now chocolate cupcakes with the delicious white icing, dang those are the best ever in flavor.
I took off around 9'ish for an hour bike ride on the Pinellas Trail which runs for close to 40-50 miles in total length. I probably did 10 miles up and back and had a good ride. I did see some old friends from Bridgepoint I hadn't seen in awhile, so I stopped and chatted for a few and invited them to come by for collards as well. Neighbor Andrew across the street has a boat and he and his friends caught more kingfish on Friday and blessed us with a couple nice filets that I will smoke and make a fish spread, delicious is all I can say.
We are healthy with no signs of the virus and I'm hoping to get back on the court for pickle ball on Monday as being fit and eating right as well as no group contacts have seem to make a difference in our ability to stay healthy. This virus does not like heat or moisture so from what I can ascertain drink hot fluids at times and spend some time in the sun and stay fit, LATER
Eliza Faye is so cute with her missing front teeth and she so wanted to hug us when we came for supper last night.
