Today was considerably better than yesterday. The weather was just about perfect — around 74 degrees, sunny and breezy. It’s my mother-in-law’s birthday, so Poppy made a birthday cake and I made the chicken pot pie she’d requested for dinner. (They’ve been living with us for the last several months for health reasons; we’re not visiting anyone or having visitors.) Both the cake and the pot pie were delicious.

Our county reported its first resident COVID-19 positive test today. There were two previous positive tests, but they were both people from other states who are visiting the area. They’ve both gone to other counties to “shelter-in-place” wherever it is they’re staying. That’s what happens when you live in a place rife with vacation homes, I guess.

I did a much better job taking care of myself today. I haven’t been eating well or on a regular schedule, and I made a concerted effort to do both today. We also spent some time outside and went on a nice walk. I don’t know how long this whole thing is going to last, but I should probably continue doing those things even when we aren’t in a global pandemic.
