16 April 2020, A day in Progress

Status: We’re sheltering in place and have plenty of food and supplies. We are replenishing the consumed food with InstaCart orders. We are rewarding the shoppers with a 30% tip and no less than $15 regardless. (It was $30 on Monday for that shopper, but then again it was $100 worth of food.

Plans: Work in the morning with a break taking a walk.

Narrative: Seems like I am busier than I expected and not working the priority list above so I’ve added a simple task list below.

  • Work 4 hours starting at 06:00
  • Put away Insta-Cart Groceries before 10AM
  • Walk around the Block
  • Call Mom 11AM
  • Nap Time 12:30
  • Order Insta Cart
  • Eat Dinner
  • Package and ship Carr’s Mail 18:00
  • 19:00, talked to Mike

Had my morning cup of Santo Domingo coffee while working from home 4 hours this morning. It was a slow day at work today.

We ordered groceries and they came about 09:30 from InstaCart shopper driving a Mercedes Benz. Kathy and I think the Uber drivers are now shoppers. LOL It works for us since we are high risk (Over 65) and don’t need to be walking through a store where at least one person in the store will have the virus.

We walked around the block after I clocked out of work about 11:15. We’ve walked a little over a mile every day and my body is sore tonight!

Had a ham sandwich for lunch and took a good nap. We ordered one more InstaCart to get some items we forgot before eating leftovers from yesterday.

We went to the Post Office to mail our neighbors letters after closing time. We had a difficult time working the postage machine with cloth gloves on. We ended up taking the gloves off and touching the screen with our fingers. (Not the best plan.) We did sanitize with hand sanitizer before we drove home. We’re going to try plastic gloves next time and see if that allows us not having to touch the screen directly. Riskiest thing we’ve done all week!

Feelings:

Tomorrow: Work in the morning and have a margarita in the afternoon.
