The end of the month is crawling along. I have laundry to do for sure. Paperwork to thin out and file. A letter to write to my older brother who is in lockdown. My thoughts are with those in lockdown. My thoughts are about this pandemic and how things have changed. The luxury to come and go as you please has vanished. Not sure if it will return or not. Just being real.
I must get out of my chair.
We had a decent week-end and I am ready for this week. Hubby continued to bat-proof the carriage house. He has completed this task. Each year just about this time, the bats fly into the area looking for a place to roost in our carriage house. It had an opened eave where they freely entered the carriage house to hang out and sleep. Last year my Husband and our son placed wire around the carriage house eave to prevent the bats from entering through the eave. Keep them out. We had the carriage house professionally cleaned so we could move forward to creating a safer and cleaner space for a studio.Last June is when we had a bat get into the house flying about causing me almost heart failure and I'm not joking. I had a screaming fit as I was reclined in my chair. With each attempt to get out of my chair, the bat would dodge at me. Long story short, the bat was chased out into the screened in porch for the night and would be gone by morning.
Earlier in the day, my Husband had closed an entrance to under our house and we believe it was trapped in the crawled space looking for a way out coming through a vent in the house. Welp, it managed to get out of the crawl space and get into the living room while I was on the computer late at night. I saw this brown bat fluttering by the fireplace and I came unglued.
Hubby had gone to bed but I woke him with my screams that could have woke the dead. My son was asleep as well. Both came to my rescue as I screamed, "There's a bat!!!!!!"
The story ended well, but I have anxiety about bats getting into the house.
Moving right along. We oohed and awed at a couple of tiny irises that have bloomed. They are early this year. They may be tiny, but we sure enjoyed them.
I'll hook up the portable washing machine here in a little bit to get a load of shirts done. I am confessing that I have fallen down on the job concerning laundry. I cleaned one of the toilets early this morning. Disinfected the sink handles. Will go through the lysol sprayed mail/. Our mail is sprayed and given a few days to set. A cautionary measure we are taking at this time. Say what you will. We are being cautious.
This week the temps are to be SPRING LIKE in the high 70s so I will strive to get the laundry caught up with hanging shirts on hangers and placing them on a rack to air dry.
Last Thursday, people from about the state of Kansas met up in TOPEKA to protest against the Kansas Governor for using guidelines to slow the spread of this dreaded virus. I'm not sure how much good this did as I will not be surprised if the virus spikes this week due to the protesters ignoring the guidelines. Few wore face masks and few social distanced 6 feet apart. I watched online and saw many crowding together not wearing mask. The ones carrying guns would be captured in still pictures.
The Thursday evening news did not show those who were hanging onto their semi automatic weapons. It made me cringe to see some so heavily armed that I would not want to be around them. Who are they anyways?
Why were they embellishing their weapons in army fatigues at a peaceful protest? The WIBW news remained quiet as to what these people were doing. Not an accurate account of the protest by the news. I suppose it was to keep others from chiming in touting more weapons at the next protest in another state.
A false sense of security?
I don't think the guns will kill the virus.
With this virus very much around...I don't want to go out. Reopening businesses? More people out amongst the public. Makes me tired.
I have exhausted watching the CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE BRIEFINGS. After last Thursday's disinfectant remarks and Friday's Presidential comments about being sarcastic to reporters, I am done. It seems that the briefings will not be daily and I am not sure there will be anymore on the lines of the coronavirus. Instead there will be briefings about the economy. I seriously doubt I will be watching these. My heart sinks when the President talks about television ratings being so high verses the pandemic information.
I was watching the briefings to be better informed as we do not have a pandemic every year. This is like a very bad dream and I needed to be better informed. I wanted to be better informed. What I got was something else about healing our land leaving God out of this phrase. Our people need healed and a virus to die off.
I had wondered why there was such animosity between the President Trump and reporters.
I am having my second cup of coffee. Better get that load of laundry started. Making a grocery list out so I'll have to make a grocery run this week. I want to try making a crock pot meal with chicken breasts and dressing. Thought this one would be a great one, but I have to get some dressing mix.
Making my weekly plans and it is relaxing to be at HOME,
