Day 53 - Governor Newsom imposes new restrictions
B and I at the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve…
Thursday. 1/7/21.
9:00 – 9:30 - I’m up and I go downstairs. The dog is still asleep and rolls over so I can pet her tummy. After the third time, we go outside. There is poop on the patio so I clean it up. She goes potty on the Astroturf and back inside we go – rotten chicken for her and coffee for me.
9:30-10:30 – Shower. Lotion. Light make-up. I put my hair in pigtails today. I wear leggings, a long-sleeved shirt, army jacket, knee-high, sturdy boots, and my gray ski-cap.
10:30-11:00 – Finish packing my lunch items, then program some addresses in my Garmin. I put everything next to my picnic blanket and jacket.
11:00- B. arrives and we leave for the Prime Woodland Desert Preserves, in Lancaster.
11:00-12:00 – Driving
12:00 – 2:00 - Arrive and we hike [I am using that term loosely] the 3-mile trail. It’s a great day, weather-wise. I have a few apple slices.
2:00 – 2:30 - I phone in our Whole Wheatery lunch orders, along with a special request from L. Then, we drive to the location for pick up.
2:30 – 4:00 - To the Steve Owen Memorial Park as all restaurants are closed, state-wide, for dining. Arrive at the park and we find a picnic table and eat our food. I spread my picnic blanket on the bench and we sit on that. I brought along two proseccos-in-a-can of course; one for me and one for B. It’s getting chilly now…
4:30-5:15 – Driving
5:30 – 8:00 - Home and B. and I watch two episodes of The Wilds. He has a 7&7 and I have champagne. I’m watching the series with both B. and L. but I don’t mind as I like the show.
8:30 – 10:00 – B. leaves and I work on blog posts. I ask L. if she wants to watch The Wilds but she says later as she is working on an art project.
10:00 – 11:30 - More blog posts and I eat the rest of my tuna salad sandwich and macaroni salad from the Whole Wheatery.
11:30 – 12:30 – I’m tired today and tell L. that I’m going to bed. Maybe we can watch The Wilds tomorrow. Night time routine. Bed.
