Go to sunset at the beach across the street with a large cocktail
Get up. Shower. Have a croissant and a cup of tea (croissants are my weekend treat). Go to work - probably a short day , maybe 10 - 11 hours (weekdays are usually 13+ right now). Come home and eat dinner and have a drink and maybe watch tv for an hour. Go to bed.
Separate the massive piles of client folders on my floor into easy, been here far too long, and wait some more. Do tax returns. Hopefully avoid the 2 hours I wasted on the phone with tech support, to no avail, today.
My husband is a pastor and church has not been cancelled, so we will be at church for 4 hours tomorrow morning.
Then we’ll come home. H will nap most of the afternooon and I will read or watch movies the rest of the day, texting my kids off and on throughout.

Today, our dad’s memorial service was
Smaller because we called and suggested vulnerable people not attend due to covid-19
We opened most of the many doors of the church for lots of fresh air.
Sign in tables polite signs to not shake hands or hug due to covid-19. Did lots of bowing and some elbow bumps. Mostly was able to avoid touching and used hand sanitizer any time I did touch anyone.
Opened many of the doors of the refreshment room for lots of rest air
Started with visitation, followed by burial and a nice lunch with 76 people. We were the only ones in restaurant, plus the wait help and owner.
Went to my sister’s house with mom and about 1/2 of extended family to decompress before we went home.
Each of us showered as soon as we got home. Took meds and lying in bed typing this out and unwinding.
Tomorrow, we plan to mainly stay home and rest, wash clothes, do some home cooking. It should be relaxing. We are happy both our kids are with us. We may walk around the neighborhood, waving and keeping safe distance from folks.

If you find a really good yoga app can you please post it. TiA.
We are returning from vacation and I’m feeling a little stressed. We flew back Friday and will drive home today as weekend plans with our daughter were disrupted. We will pick up the dogs on the way home and at some point I will have to go to the store, no way around it. Hopefully finish reading “How Not to Diet”. Do some reading on statins, high a1c and tendons. Hopefully a little walking.
Will do @emilybee !

Feeling sorry for my kids since all three were extremely happy where they were and are disappointed to be coming home

Traveling 5+ hours (each way) to pack up D at school and return her home. That will basically consume the day. Hoping dh, ds and I are all virus free or we’ll all soon be virus full.
