DAY SEVEN

Day Seven (Sunday, March 22): It’s late, and I should have started writing earlier, but at least I am writing. Although, I am too lazy to get out of bed to get my laptop; so I downloaded the Squarespace app to my phone. Now I can blog remotely.

We made it out of the house today to hike! And it was great. The map said we hike about 4.2 miles; Jamie’s pedometer said it was closer to 6 miles. Considering it took us about two hours, I am hoping/thinking it was closer to 6. But it was just what we needed…or at least just what I needed.
Just as we have found the balance between social distancing and social isolation (including inviting a friend to hike outside with us), I believe more restrictions are coming. I hope we can still hike.

In advance of the impending shelter-in-place, Jamie and I were up early to hit the grocery store. We’re now stocked for at least two weeks, but Sunday morning was not the time to go. It wasn’t busy…because they had no food! I was shocked at the run on …. just about everything. But we adjusted our weekly menu and managed fine.

I told my husband that I thought the weekend went well (now that it’s over), but I am glad they go “back to school” tomorrow; it gives them something to do.

I too have been learning online. About six weeks ago, I decided I wanted to learn (more) Spanish. I took Spanish in grade school (I can still recite the alphabet and days of the week from those years), and in high school (where I learned to conjegate verbs). Now I have my daily Duolingo lessons and I love them! Amo Duolingo!

We’re never too old to learn. Or to hike.
