Day 23 - LA County moves into yellow tier

Poolside at J. and R.’s house…

5/25/21. Tuesday.

8:00-8:45 - Why do I do this to myself?  I lay in bed until 8:30.  Downstairs and I say good morning to the animal and rub her tummy three times.  We go outside, but she doesn’t go potty right away.  This is happening more and more, both in the morning AND at night, and it’s especially irritating when I’m on a schedule. She finally goes potty and we return inside: pieces of cheese for her, coffee for me.  I go upstairs. BTW: the rat zapper is a bust - I need to return it to B.

8:45-9:45 – Shower. Lotion. Covid-19 uniform.  I put my make-up on in the car.

9:45 – 10:00 – Driving

10:00-10:30 – Therapy session. I still like going.

-L. leaves to pick up a charcuterie board in the Hollywood Hills.

10:30-12:00 – Errand day. I drive to Goodwill after therapy and drop off books and a small tray table.  Then, I drive all the way across town to turn in my plastic bottles.[$3.45 return]. After, Home Goods to buy coffee K-cups and novelty potato chips.

12:00-1:00 – Return home and I make a salmon salad, with diced  cucumbers, apples, walnuts and mayo.

1:00-2:00 – I eat the tuna salad with the chips and read We Came.

l. returns with the charcuterie board.

2:00-3:00 – Continue reading We Came.

3:00-4:00 – I take a short nap

4:00 – 5:45 – Outside and I water all of my plants, then disconnect the hose, reconnect it to a closer faucet, and water my new vines.  After, I hose down most of the garage’s interior, to include floor and the actual garage door.  It’s filthy dirty, but not so bad now.

6:00 – 9:00 – B. picks L. and I up at 6:00 and we drive to J. and R.’s house [his daughter and son-in-law] for a visit.  We sit poolside and have great conversation.  J. likes the charcuterie board!

9:00-11:30 – We leave and B. drives L. and I home. He comes inside for a nightcap and we talk politics. B. leaves.

11:30 – 12:00 – I ready my paperwork for tomorrow’s meeting with my evaluator.

12:00 – 1:30 – I watch the most recent episode of Mare of Eastwood, but fall asleep a couple of times – I’m so mad at myself, because I’ve been dying to watch this episode.  I rewind and re-watch a few of the areas that I missed and am sufficiently caught up with the series.

1:30-2:30 – Blog post

2:30-3:15 – Nighttime routine. Bed.
