Covid Journal, Day 318: Yuck

33 and rain, or snow or sleet, changing back and forth all morning, then rain. Tonight, supposed to be snow.



It has been another inside kind of day, with snow in the morning, then sleet, then rain and snow, then rain. And tonight, more snow is supposed to be on the way. We're lucky, I suppose that the bulk of this storm went north and south and east of us, leaving us in a quiet little hole in the middle. The weather radar certainly looked strange.

A mix of ice and snow on the table. 

So we've been inside, with the fireplace lit, almost all day. For me, it's not an issue--most of my activities are inside anyway. I listed on eBay, packed eBay sales, put the final coat of paint on a table, the first coat on two chairs, and final touches on the little buffet. I cooked our first piece of ham from our hog for dinner, and put yellow rice and veggies with it. Delicious. 

Larry has been all out of kilter. He is used to spending most of his day outside, but this was not possible today. So he napped, then messed around in the workroom, napped again, and finally settled in to watch a movie. A very inactive day for him, but the rest will do him good.

Tomorrow? More of the same on the way, I hear. I'll be busy enough, but Larry is probably going to don rain gear and escape. This man can only be kept inside so long!

Off to finish my book. I'm reading Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Her writing is excellent, but the characters just leave me cold. I cannot identify or empathize with any of them, which makes it difficult to keep my interest in the story, but I am almost finished so I'll soldier on.

  1. Cold and snowy here in KY today. No school, but not a snow day. Virtual work for students and teachers. I think snow days, as we used to know them, are over.
