Day 41 - Governor Newsom imposes new restrictions

Visiting with my parents on the porch…

12/26/20. Saturday.

10:00 – 10:30 - I’m up and I lay in bed until 10:30.  Downstairs to say good morning to the dog and take her outside.  She does her business, then we go inside for chicken treats and coffee.

10:30-11:30 – Upstairs so I can read Law of Innocence.

12:00-12:30 – Change clothes and dress in Covid-19 uniform.

12:30 – 1:30 -L. and I leave for my parents’ house. L. drives.

Driving. 

I downloaded more podcasts from Adulting Made Easy. Spoiler Alert: - L. is more mature than most of the people featured in the podcast and has learned nothing.

I manually write the Chicken Chili and the Quinoa Veggie Bake recipes into the recipe folder in my Ipad while L. drives.

1:30-4:30 – Arrive at my parents!!  We sit outside on the front porch and catch up, talking about Xmas, the vaccine,  politics, etc.  They made Xmas dinner for just the two of them last night and it sounds like it turned out well.  Mom proffered champagne and of course I accepted!  A great time had by all!!  My Mom gives us “Christmas checks” and it was super fun visiting.

4:30-5:30 – L. and I leave and head for home. This time, I play Reveal – Reproducing Racism for L., but she says, 30 minutes into it, that I already played it for her. Hmmmm…do I have early onset Alzeimers?  I switch to Fresh Air – America’s Caste System

-Driving. I brought a salad I made in my new Hydroflask bag that L. gave me for Xmas and eat that on the car ride home.

-L. is broke and drives straight to an ATM so she can deposit the Xmas/B-day check that my Mom gave her.  Then, she drives thru Starbucks so she can get a novelty drink on her Dad’s ‘dime.’

6:00-8:30 – Home and I read Law of Innocence.

9:00-2:00 – I go to work.  Well, it’s not really work – it’s personal admin. It takes me 5 hours, but I finally finish compiling and logging my expenditures for the last six months.  Then, all of it is totaled and logged into my spreadsheet.  Taxes are done, 2020 budget is done. I assess all of my categories and start preparing my 2021 budget.

2:00-2:30 – I take the dog outside and lock up.

2:30-3:30 – I do a 40-minute cardio app work-out.  I sneak a few sips of champagne while I work out.

3:30-4:00 – Night time routine. Bed.
