COVID Senior Lockdown, Day 4

Mrs. F has been attempting creative dishes with mystery canned goods from the pantry. Never too early to leap into survivalist mode. We had cranberry sauce with lunch, in March. But we haven’t had corned beef yet. Strange times indeed. So far, though, we’ve got plenty of real food, and the missus is a great cook. Restaurants are allowed to continue operations for pickup and delivery. Not all of them are equipped for that. Some are. Some are converting. And some are just shutting down. I figure, tasty as it is, we’ll get a little bored with Mrs. F’s home cooking and try one of the local places soon. Gotta keep the local shops running.

I read today that Netflix is no longer streaming in HD and with lower resolution. Thank goodness. I thought my eyes were going, too. Overall, though, if you’re properly equipped with media, books, and sustenance, this is an introvert’s dream.

The missus took our senior cat to the vet today for a drive-thru followup appointment. She had to sit in the car outside the office. Young lady came out and took the cat. Vet called the missus on her cell phone and they discussed the cat. Mrs. F got extra points from the vet for bringing a written description of the cat’s condition. Saved time. Young lady brought cat back and took credit card. Returned credit card. Missus and cat drove home. Elapsed time: one hour. Social Distancing quotient: 8 out of 10.

Melissa from Microsoft called again from me. Still doesn’t get the joke.
