Today Is Thursday April 30 2020, This Is What Happen

Tomorrow is when our state of Idaho will start to open, it been close because of COVID 19. Well I would of done things differently. Saying that.

Our state is low populated state.

So start May 1^st til the 15^th we can start going back to church, some day care and or camps can reopen, retail. But we still need to practice social distance.

And I understand our local hospital isn't thrilled about opening our state at this time.

There those out there I real don't think they understand how a virus is transferred from one being to anther. Or they don't grasp the understand of algorithm. Confession time...I get basic understanding of algorithm and I am no math wiz.

Maybe this will sort of explain how virus works and spreads like an algorithm.

Let take 3 people in a community leaves and picks up a virus. Unknown they got any bug and goes to store next day and if each of those gives to 3 people in store, and those who caught it at store. Now 9 people have the bug. So let say 2 stays home for 14 days and not going to spread it. So that means there 7 people left to spread there nasty germs around. So each of those 7 people give let keep to three more people, so now 21 people have it. So let divide those 21 up and 7 of goes to factory and goes to work. So they give it to 21 people at work. And on average each of there works has family of 4 they bring it home and from factory 84 more people has a virus. Then the other 14 comes about and gives it to 3 more people. So out 3 who started with virus has now given to 186 people has a virus.

This could spread and spread. Please follow our govt health department to keep all of us safe.

If half the factory family went out and gave it to three more people so anther 126 people is contagious and the total will be up to 312.

Sure life isn't a script and this may not be the way it plays out. Could be much worst or not at all and most VIRUS has it course it will run.

There things we don't understand about COVID 19.

So once again fellow your govt health agency on the COVID 19 so we all can be safe.

Then I am not sure who practice the stay safe guide lines. My job is consider essential and I see plenty of people not following guide lines, and I now because of other choices I don't feel it right and I don't want to endanger others and my son's family.

When I see people out and about not following the basic guide line for Covid 19. I feel angry and frustrated that people because of there choice not to wear one. Puts a damper on those who cares enough for there community and others in it.

I would love to go see my sons and there family. And wonder if the majority would wear a mask that we could actual have more freedom.

So it wouldn't be fair for me to risk going down and seeing my son, because I live in area that for what every reason choose not to wear a mask, if a fourth of those who are in store wears a mask I would be shocked.

I believe most people in my area feels this way about wearing a mask. Statement time...I find these people who not willing to wear a mask is self center and selfish.

Question time...If more people follow simple guide lines we have more freedoms?

I am person who don't want to be caught in any era or generation. I am what they considered tail end of baby generation.

I am having trouble sending anything with my smart phone. I keep clearing out the cache on it.

Now I am checking the updated for it. And it up to date.

Hubby and I went to look for morals, up by the Trump sign. I won't say anything about the sign. Not even the small print. Editor Note..If you click on the photo you might see the small print.

Didn't find any moral mushrooms either. But did see a couple of trillium's.

Then quite a few wild buttercups.

End of the road there was a skeeter parked.

I did mange to get anther 18 minute of cleaning done in bedroom. And a few items to go to the thrift store. Hope to get anther 18 minutes in before I got to work tomorrow. So hopefully there might be more items to drop off at the thrift store.

Did finish up sewing all my blocks together, hopeful I didn't miscount. Now the next three steps will press them all out, cut them all same size, and lay them out.

I use an old sheet for this. My sheet is my canvas.

Today Is Tuesday April 28 2020, This Is What Happen.

This morning I went for a short walk, half of my set distance. Weigh in at home for our tops meeting. I maintaining since Idaho shut there door do to Covid 19.

No hip trouble today So glad.

We sharing our garden with neighbors. So our neighbors are young Mennonite family with four children, 2 boys and 2 girls.

This morning before work I once again set the timer. Did some organizational I would say prefix of pre would be more fitting.

Went though pile of magazines and just put in sack and drop off in front of thrift store.

As I was going though the magazine. I ran into a catalog called CONNECTING THREAD which is a quilter or sewing catalog.

Here is conversation I had with my self.

Self 1: (holding up catalog) How I better not toss this out. I might find a pattern I like in here.

Self 2: Gee you got tons of things on quilting. And you can't even find half of your stuff.

Self 1: But that special pattern could be in there.

Self 2: Yes it could be. The key word is “could be!” (Sticking it in sack) well I have a drawer full of patterns, and shelf full of quilting patterns,books and those are scattered about.

Retail is opening Friday here in Idaho. I think and feel it to early. I know I don't need anything and I been keeping a low profile in stores.

Meant my friend Quellnella at Georgia Plaza in town. Coffee shop isn't open yet, so on my way into town I stop at got two cups of coffee to go from zip trip. Shared and laugh about variety things in life.

Today Is Monday April 27 2020, This Is What Happen

Breakfast I ended eating 679 calories. Not going much into it. My lowest thing then was vitamin C and the highest was B12.

Went to work today. Got in 7.75 hours.

But in the evening I seem to munch down on the sweets.

Made a decision, to clean the bedroom. Right now I start on larger extra bed room. For 18 minutes I clean or what every.

I found a package sock I bought some time ago. Then I bought my grand daughter clothes from thrift store. There being return back to the thrift store, it only one of those grocery plastic sack. With a few other items.

Then for fabrics I just toss them up by the head for now. I think I am going to put items in pile and go though them.

I am taking photos as I go. So hopeful I and my reader will see progress.

Weigh with my tops group tomorrow, and paid the safety deposit box today..

First chore hubby and I did was reinforce the rafters in shed. Liz gave me a pile of cedar boards. So the project was pretty much on the free side.

We talk about building a bat house out the cedar boards.

I am hoping to get up to one of the hardware stores this week, to purchase a hummingbird feeder.

There a few solar lights to be put up. But I need to get something to stake into the ground.

Trying to figure out what is possible for me to this up coming week. I know there work. And I have a few ideals what I would like to get done. But what is feasible is the question.

I can see where a bullet journal is helpful. I use to write a list what I want to accomplish and it would seem much easier with a bullet journal, compare to a little piece of paper, Floating about.

Then also when it was written down I seem to get more done. And had no lap tap or devices to pull me away.

The last two weeks my average calorie intake has 1,925, and I pretty much stayed at same weight range.

So I think I need to drop my calorie intake by 10%, rounding it to nears 10^th.

So I am going to try to drop my calorie intake to 1,730

These nutrition I seem to be low in vitamin d, vitamin C, and potassium, which I am not making 50% of RDA. There other I am slightly low on.

Then there is 5 I tend be over 150% of RDA which are iron, niacin, phosphorus, selenium, and Sodium.

I am using fit day an on line food tracker. How would they know my sodium intake, If I use a salt shaker or not. I am not a big fan of salt.

Then comes to vitamin d how can they figure how much I been outdoor soaking up sun. I live fairly north and we don't get much sun.

First day of summer we have over 14 hours of sunlight. Then the first day of winter we have not quite 8 hours of sunlight.

It look like I miss a few days of keeping track of things.

But they have mood tracker and one of them is stress. Not sure what it is. But lot of people made the statement I am cool as cucumber. Lot of time I think I am basket case.

Last two weeks mostly I felt calm, but there 2 days of each I felt neutral and stressed.

I did take a walk half the distance. My hip is still giving me some trouble, although much better.

I been doing a little family history. I been recording info on my mom siblings. She one of 12 and there 3 left.

I did get some more quilt blocks done. Looks like there enough strips cut for 3 more blocks and after that they will need to be pressed out and trim all same.

Today Is Saturday April 25, 2020, This Is What Happen

It been a while since I read anyone blog, hope to get some read over the weekend. It seem like I been busy but can't think real accomplished much.

It been ages since I took part in PAINT PARTY FRIDAY and actual it been a while since I picked up any of my drawings or my art journals.

I started a art journal that someday I will finish and send off to BROOKLYN ART LIBRARY.

One thing I was working on was doing my own tarot drawings. Here is my three of swords...If it right side up, three key words would be absent, division, or depression.

Then if it upside down the possible three key words are healing, recovery, or reconciliation.

Just sort time ago I got three more quilt block sewn together. In washer right now I have some fabrics I thought would be good for mask. As the news is on I can press the fabric and it looks like some fabrics strips I gotten ready for quilt I am working on. Needs some pressing also.

If all goes good maybe tomorrow I can pin some up, and Sunday sew them up. It looks like a person needs more then one mask to circle them though the laundry.

Editor Note...The above posting is actual for Friday the 24^th of April.

Yesterday evening we lost our internet connection. They did some work on one of the towers. Since the pandemic and more people are on there devices. I would guess there more repairs and up grades.

Today is my youngest, the baby. Bart birthday and he turn 29. We will give him a call either later on day or tomorrow.

Couple things I know needs to be done today is. Get my paper work done for work. But sure I can find something to do.

This morning I tried to make a more finished mask, the elastic tuck in. I did wrong and been studying and looking at it at all different angles.

The other day rain came though and there was beautiful rainbow in the eastern sky.

Today Is Thursday April 23 2020. This Is What Happen.

Less movement or should say I been trying to pace my self more. Hip is still bothering me. I have general physical next month.

Will bring this up with doctor then. I should start making a list of concerns.

Regis my client had his stent removed out of part of his pancreas. So today was fairly light load. Then Liz been sick. And ask me to stay away.

She had a doctor appointment last Monday and the odds are she didn't make it. There a few reason why I think that.

1. She is evading any question about the doctor appointment
2. Her brother in law asked about if she got her medication filled. And her reply was it not time.
3. One of medication is an opioid and usual she would of got hold of me, and had it picked up.

She hasn't been asking around for it.

I been leaving her supplies at her door steps, which is pack of regular camels 99's and six pack of beer. Today I got her some ribs and artichoke pasta salad.

If she don't relapse or get worst I will go up there Monday.

There no Covid in my county I live in. Look like our Governor is planning to open our State May 1 for phase one.

Which looks like Churches will open if they can maintain CDC guide lines, Not sure which work place there talking about. Can open if they can maintain CDC distance guide lines. Plus cafe, and such have to come with some type of plan that approve by Idaho state health department. Then possible they can open stage two.

Stage two start mid May.

I am worried more about the second wave of virus, which looks like it will be going though at same time as flu.

So will continue washing my hands and wearing my mask.

Today Is April 21 2020, This What Happen

It been a while since I had this much pain in my left hip. It actual making me slightly nauseated. The hip been bothering me for the last few days.

Weigh in this morning not sure if I'm down or maintain. Only did half of my walk.

There a few things need to be taken care of around the place. Did some roof repair on the shed/barn. Did load of laundry, clean out the freezer, and also got the barbecue. Look like we're have beef ribs for dinner.

Taking Regis down to Spokane to get his stint out of his pancreas. But this time I am better prepared. Took book on Beltane.

And some art, non painting.

It been a while since I worked on my personal tarot cards. So that going.

Then also my ATC supplies.

Then my bullet journal, few scrapes of paper, and with different types of pencils.

Today Is April 20 2020, This Is What Happen

trying to figure out how to latch on the elastic a different style on mask. Talking about mask. I took Regis over to hospital to get some lab work done. They need to draw blood and they have parking spot for that.
You call number and they ask your name, doctor and what spot your in.
As she was poking for vein. I knew the restroom was just inside of the door. So I know they want to keep outside people down, not to spread bad yukies around the place.
So she said it was ok. I didn't go that far in and only could see a little. Notice the receptionist she didn't have a mask on. A Mennonite lady and not sure if part of there faith or not. They don't have curtain in there homes either. It something like hiding from God and I wonder if they feel the same way about mask. Haven't seen one Mennonite wearing a mask.

Increase my walking distance. I use the power pole, every week I up it by two power poles. Weigh in with my tops group. We're not meeting now. But Tuesday morning we weigh in at home so we can stay accountable.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Sunday April 19 2020, This Is What Happen

Hubby and I went out looking for morals mushrooms and usual a good sign to find them is when the dandelions are in bloom, so we went over to myrtle creek area. No luck. For this time of year it a little dry.

What brings on is a warm rain.

But got small hike in. Saw some birds a crane and some water fowls.

I try to get in 7,500 steps and yesterday I went well over it. But forgot to put it in my fitbit thing.

Pretty well ready to start a new week in weight lost adventure. Calorie count isn't the only thing. My average calorie count for week is 1,934. I think it would be good if I kept slightly under 2,000 calories and see what happen. But I want to make sure I get the nutrition as well.

I seem to be low in vitamin d. Not sure how one figure out I do get out everyday. I have trouble with dairy and here is some suggestion of vitamin d FOOD and one that I strong in as for vitamin is B12.

There also a mood chart which do. This is something I find out should be never done at same time...They ask about happiness. Well last week 4 of days I been happy and 1 day I was unhappy. I guess two of days I just didn't do it.

We pulled in by moose statue and there was grassy area, with a few picnic. What came to my mind would be great place to have one of our pagan events.

But safety is always one of my concern. So far no trouble any how our group isn't doing anything because of COVID 19

Thinking about trying to connect with zoom.

Also in this area part of first hydro plant is in area. It had some positive vibes.

Slowly been sewing blocks together for a quilt. This is most recent block I done. Not sure how many I have to go or finish.

Still doing mask....The other day I was going up the post office stairs. Had my mask on. A person with out a mask, gave me a dirty look as I was scum of earth...oh well I will continue wearing my mask and what ever someone want to think or action isn't going to stop me from wearing my mask.

A local lady went into a store here and she had a mask on and they told her what they thought.

Today Is Friday April 18 2020, This Is What Happen.

It all went smooth. Got the old washer up out basement. We laid piece of tin and laid the washer on tin. The pick up pulled it laying on the tin. Then just rolled into the bed of the pickup. We had two barrels with trash and the other trash was basic household.

Then some cardboard.

After going to the dump, we went to hardware store. For some beet and grass seed. Only thing they had was grass seed. Most people didn't have a mask on and I just wait out rig. Let my husband run and grab the items.

It been rainy and damp most of the day. So I got the tread mill. I need to look over last week eating and such. A few weigh in I did this week I been sliding up.

As for this week as for vitamin I seam to be lacking is “D” 3 foods I ate actual had vitamin d in.

The highest vitamin I was in was the B12. 5 food I ate actual had vitamin B12 in.

13 different type of foods I had today.

I worked on some mask and should be able to show them tomorrow. Will be making six of them. Three for woman and the other three for men.

The only difference is the length of the elastic. Woman I cut 6 ½ and men there cut 7¼ inches. I can out of muslin and order some. It just got ship out today.

Plus got more quilt blocks sewn together. Not sure how many blocks I got done.

Today Is Friday April 17 2020, This Is What Happen

Maybe it was Tuesday. I was watching quilt show on television and it was on Quilt art. Which is take painting or photo and take fabric and do a quilt. I admire pieces like this. But watch show I was lost quite quickly.

I like playing with color, to me this is best part of creative experience. Then the next part would be the shape of each of piece and how they communicating with each other.

Help Regis move more items out of his dad place.

After that we went to hospital parking lot. There doing some lab work out in parking lot. You pull into spot and call a number and then someone comes out and draws your blood.

Then going across the bridge I saw three guys with two signs. One with American flag flip half way having “COVID 19' written on it.

Then there was don't tread on me symbol. Although I didn't see any words on sign.

There some people seem to be talking disobedient. Some says civil, non civil and then some never mention the word civil.

A week late. Got Grand children Easter gifts all off. I wear a cloth mask and when I was going up post office steps. Some guy with a mask gave me the most dirty look. Oh well.

Not sure what we will be doing this weekend.

Today Is Thursday April 16 2020, This Is What Happen.

Hubby and I went over to what local call chicken ridge. Plenty of trash or treasure finds. I seen some pretty cool piece done out recycle items or people find just walking about.

The only thing I brought home was four rocks and maybe I will get a chance in some future. Paint rocks and this I find troublesome canvas.

Well Regis got his appointment to have stint remove. I am a little worried about going into a surgical center.

Since we're going into Washington and returning to Idaho.

If you leave Idaho and return there asking you to quarantine for 14 days. And there some exception to this rule. Medical is one of them.

A friend of mind called and was asking about coming over Sunday and she does personal care over in Spokane. 

Couldn't believe it and her clients she take care of has cancer and there immune system isn't up to par.

I said my clients have quest in there place and very small percentage I seen taking any precaution steps . Not my client thinks it hoax but those around them does. 

If it wasn't for my clients life style I would be glad to see you.

Thankful I am not working as a clerk in store. Finely they have some spit guards up and only small percentage is wearing a mask. 

There people who are quite up set over the shut down. Even in my area there talking about disobedient. What I notice most of our King Donnie the idiot supporters. I see them around locally and they have there ball cap on either it says “Make American Great” or “Trump”

On the way to chicken ridge. There was an American flag and below it was a Trump flag. I just don't get that some made him into some type Omnipotent figure. To me it scary. 

IDAHO my home state has the highest hate for it population. Plenty of strong feeling about this and not good feelings

Since they think hoax don't want wish anyone ill...I hope they all get extreme case of hemorrhoids.

Over on my face book I ask this question...Question time...what worries the most and lease about covid 19? My answer was quite simple. The biggest worry is the unknown asymptomatic carriers and what worries me the lease is that top notch scientist are working on this.

Been having trouble with my sewing machine. My stitches were gathering both on my mask and quilt blocks.

Well like majority of time it the threading of machine and didn't thread the bobbin part correctly. Well I been getting in my walking.

Today Is Wednesday April 14 2020, This Is What happen.

Time for me to get a different pair of glasses on. The pair I have is much to strong. Any now I have my glasses on.

Time to share my time with all of you. I sure hope every one is doing good.

Last two morning I got a walk in. Today I increase the distant and I use power pole for measuring my distant.

Enjoy listen to birds sing. It sound so peaceful.

Hubby is in a lot of pain. At times I should be home taking care of more things at home. Or a lease helping him.

The odds are one of us will be widowed some time in our life, and we will need to live. If I knew for sure I would get his entire social security. I would consider cutting back. I know some widows who get there spouse full benefits and other partials.

For me to draw even $1,000 a month from my own retirement I would be close to 70 or slightly over. I have no plan to work that long.

I been on this soap box before.

Last night I watch a thing on genetics which I find interesting. To me it like a mystery. I even thought of having my genetic completely done. I done though ancestry and most of family came from Great Briton island.

But why did I end up with my olive skin tone, large boobs, why can't I digest diary, why do I hold water tensions and there lot more question.

Then there the history side. Still looking for my great grand Charles Shirley...I came up possible three men who might be his dad.

I order some items from Amazon and of course I forgot about rechargeable batteries and I forgot about the black fabric to do binding around the quilt.

Monday April 13 2020, This Is What Happen

I am tired of the quarantine.

Much better mood, from yesterday. I heard people getting depress for Christmas and such. But Easter.
Did get chance to video chat with my youngest son. Said hello to his wife, and watch the grand daughter run about.
They sure have energy. I am sure the candy helped. I am sending some down, candy that is. Also toss some mask and book in package.
Still need to do up my other son in Medford Oregon.

Took Liz out to the game reserve and got the batteries for my camera after. Mainly what we saw was bird. I only can  indentify a few.
There some hiking trails out there. It would be good for me hike down some of them.

My eating down fall was I ate way to many corn chips today, and put my calorie count up a bite. I was going to say way up. That might not be a true statement.

Just sign up for Zoom. Made account personally and still need to find out if our pagan group can have there own account as a group.
Been thinking of doing a you tube video of Beltane ritual. Some might know Beltane as May day. It about relationships.
I have an ideal how want to do it. My basic theme will be "complement"

Sunday April 12 2020 This Is What Happen.

Happy Easter, he has risen. Easter celebration in Christian faith is one I find troubling. Life and death. Yes the mean of life and death. I bet all of has our own definition of it.

This morning I was going to take a few photo of things in bud. On the way of opening to full of bloom and life.

But my camera battery was dead. A month back or so. I would figured out few more items and jump in my car and ran to town and got batteries. Not these days.

Life jury, and not sure who is involved. Earlier this spring I had plan to go down to Medford to see my son and his family. But the virus put an halt to it.

Usual Easter we are celebration with my other son. Last year we went to my sister in law family. Both my son was up.

Two of my grand daughter couldn't walk, now there running about.

Youngest son in Spokane a two hour drive. It would be so easy to drive down there. With this virus it could change things up for so many if I went down. If I went it could end up being a selfish act on my part.

Not sure what sentence may be or even could possible never it caught. The word never is usual a lairs phrase

Hubby and I repaired the framing to our raspberries. Life of winter did a bit of damage, not very much. We move the fence last fall. It has on my Aunt property and she up in years. Not sure what going to happen to her estate. Which is none of our business. Not sure if it will end up be subdivide.

Been doing some sewing.

Today I been struggling with depression. But it will not define me. Even with life bumps and curves I will keep marching forward. As I move forward I will live to fullest and find joy on the way.

Before I do my daily rant on COVID 19 I got out and did short walk. Before the snow hurricane came though. The snow had quite a bit of moister in it.

Each mask I do I'm getting better. The hardest part is putting in the elastics in upper corner. The two look like a scorer pattern is going to my son. I learn on these they should be evenly doubled role so every thing will get caught and no fabric comes untucked.

These two are going down to each of my daughter in law and these were double tuck and it seem to be holding much better.

Since I am talking about COVID 19. I want to figure out what percentage of population of certain area have COVID 19, and YAM showed me how to set up the problem so I could get answer

I live in what they call the Pacific Northwest of United States which consist of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

Oregon has or had 0.03%

Idaho has or had 0.08%

Washington has or had 0.12%

Oregon population is a little more then double what Idaho is. Now Washington population is quite a bit more because of Seattle area.

Actual I got my first block sewn. Clueless how many more to go. As I been crafting I been listen to pod cast.

I was so of or not to record what I ate. This doesn't help me on my weight lost adventure . Still have dinner to eat, and at this point I ate 1337 calories.

I was asked about smell of burning white sage. It has a sweet smell. That how I would explain it.

Friday April 10 This Is What Happen

I been trying to find information on percentage of covid 19. My state of Idaho population is 1,584,985 and there been report 1,396 cases here.
My oldest son lives in Oregon population of 4, 236, 400 and there Covid 19 is or at 1,321
My youngest son lives in Washington population of 7,795,095 and there Covid 19 is at 9,608
For it population Idaho has quite a few, no positive results in area. But not putting my head in sand either.
Hubby and I decided to take a drive around Deep Creek loop and drove by some home that there was gathering of people, like a neighborhood barbecue. Looks like they were pitching horse shoes, playing yard games and such. There people here still thinks it hoax.
Going into the store for one of my clients and notice more are wearing mask of some kind. But I would say majority didn't have a mask.
A lady made a comment about the lack of people wearing mask. I notice her was tied and asked her if ties was difficult to do, and she said no.
I am guess I didn't hear her right. I thought she made 300 mask in day. On good day and nothing goes wrong and I am counting pressing fabric, cutting, pinning, and sewing a mask. I could do three in hour.
So in 8 hour day I could get 24 of them done, in work week 60 of them done, and in month I would have 240 done.
Maybe 300 a month would be more reasonable.

Did mange to get my car clean out. Start to fill out the circuit breaker for our property taxes, it to help widows, disable, and senior on property tax. It only one that we might qualify for.
Still need to go on line and get our ballots to vote in Idaho up coming primary.

On Tuesday T.O.P.S weigh in I was up, and now I believe it was water weight. So this morning I got scale and was down 2 pounds. So if I behave my self I would like to be the same or better down a pound.
It been while since I did stat report from my on line health journal. Today my carb and fats are both at 39% and my protein is at 22%

Couldn't believe I pin an stack of mask I was working on, and notice the mistake when I was pretty much done. I put it all in wrong order. But that ok I can re-cut it for a younger face.

But for some reason I had trouble with my bobbin thread and attaching the elastic.

Our washing machine came, well I should say it was drop off at closes home depot. Which is just out side of Sandpoint.

So we went down and picked it up. Got into basement and hook up with out any trouble. Plus ran the cleaning cycle though it.

Clean out my car, and before the virus hit. I bought this fabric from a thrift store, and there is thrift stores that uses heavily perfume laundry detergent. Hopeful hanging it on clothes line and letting it flap in breeze will air it out a bit.

I heard Ben Franklin was into air baths. I guess he open all the windows in his place and let the breeze come though as he sat naked.

Still need to vacuum my car out.

My crocus are in bloom. These are in my royal sunshine bed. I dug part of this bed up last fall Want to plant a tree in the north end of bed so there some type shade on north side of house. The sun beats in there during the late afternoon in summer months.

Today Is Wednesday April 8 2020. This Is What Happen.

I find one of the hardest part of blogging is were to start at. What to talk about or in which order. Last night I did a full moon ritual. Nothing fancy more of medicated time and try to connect with my inter  self.

This moon is known as pink, egg, sprout, seed, and hare.

I feel like more sprout or seed moon. We the covid 19 virus the seed had sprout and is growing. Sure we know more in general about pandemics or plaques. But we still don't have complete understanding of it.  What I heard most plaques in that comes in three waves.

Total enjoyed toast the moon and her glory. Shared my wine and chocolate with spirit.

I tried to light and burn cinnamon stick, and couldn't real get it going. I believe maybe I should base going of dried pine needles.

Burning cinnamon stick is to get rid of negative energy. The day King Donnie the idiot leaves I am going to burn cinnamon stick. Just had to put that in. It wouldn't hurt if lot more people join in.

Tuesday was weigh in and I was up. It seem in afternoon I go on sweet eating binge. So I have no choice other record everything I eat.

My scale to weigh my food out came. The bowl to it is in the dishwasher.

As I watch last little bit of news I pin three mask together. Then also I have six mask cut out and ready to pin and sew.

On the muslin which I use to go agaist your face. I need to order some more. I believe I have enough to do three more. The fabric the public sees I am far from short of.

So far no positive cases in my area. Not saying it isn't here or will be.

Today Is Tuesday April 7, 2020. This Is What Happen.

Stay home and not putting in my full hours at work. Yesterday I saw most people not wearing any type of facial covering. Hubby went to store and he would estimate slightly under a fourth is wearing a mask.

So far as I know there haven't been in positive cases in my county. Or they haven't got results back. I would put in my full hours if like 7/8 of people would take precaution and wear a mask.

Paid bills, line up more medical bills from 2019, and work sewing projects. I cut out some muslin and interfacing for mask. But the outer fabric I notice it was slightly wrinkled.

Also cut some strips for the quilt I am working on. Did a load of laundry and still in hope by end of week the washer will be here.

Up slightly. Going to do a full moon ritual. Us pagan are now being solitary. I hope most of us pagan are following there country health recommendations.

At this point I smudge my corner of home with white sage. Walked around place with smudge stick of dragon blood. At each door of my place I let the dragon blood burn for a few minutes.

My ritual theme will be about “sprouting” This what my altar look like and will hopeful post on it tomorrow.

Today Is Monday April 6, This Is What Happen

News is always leading with COVID 19 and now if you got out for essential your to wear a mask. I have a N95 mask. My hubby worked and sprayed chemical for ages. If we had bunch of then I would donate them.
Confession time...there hard to talk in.
In a round about way. I heard about medical worker down in KOOTENAI county doesn't have mask. Not sure what she does.
Well tomorrow I will make her couple of mask. And I want couple for my self. There will be use for them.

Did some shopping today. I notice one of store I went in had finely put up shield guard. But still more need to be done.
What amazing how many people I see not following the CDC guide lines. Confession time...It scary out there, seeing some people behavior dealing with this virus.
Statement time...Get a clue this virus is "asymptomatic" which means any of us can have and show zero symptoms. The COVID 19 is one of them.
I am part of the panhandle health dist which covers the five northern counties of panhandle of Northern Idaho.
Only two counties report positive cases of it. Kootenai county has 42 and Bonner county has 3. there next county south of me.
So far no deaths.

The weather was nice today. Recorded what I ate and mange to get little more water down.

Today Is Sunday April 5 2020, This Is What Happen

One of my mask I am mailing to my friend Quenella. I think I got cloth mask making down. The first two was almost a wash out. Taking two to lady who works in deli. Then the other two I am giving to one my clients.

I should be able to make some more during the up coming week.

Got all the quilt blocks I been working on pressed. But something I will need to do a little math. Figuring how much fabric I will need for the sashing or framing of block. I have some fabric that I believe will work in tote. I have no plain black which will be used for the binding. So it's a thumb up that I will need to get some black thread and material for binding.

Got couple of package ready to be send down to Spokane. My oldest Grand daughter will be four the 7^th. We were going over to Montana and now state is under quarantine. With some exception some can enter state. But those who do have to stay 14 days.

So we're mailing her package. Giving her the marble construction building set. Grandpa is sending down a hummingbird feeder. Don't have a padded envelope to finish out the odds and ends for Easter.

Working on set up my bullet journal and notice a goof I made. And which I need some white out.

Washing was done by loading machine with soap, clothing water, and mixed with mop handle. Let soak and agitated with a mop handle, and drain. Then repeat for raise cycle only thing difference is no soap. Washing machine is on it way.

This evening I came to the realize that I have some health issues of would making surviving the COVID 19 a struggle. Number one is my weight, and not sure what order the rest would fall into...high blood pressure, asthma caused by allergic reaction, age, and health care worker.

Loosing the weight would make a difference in so many ways.

Couldn't tell you how many times I've post on this before. I need to everyday to stick to a plan. If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

This morning hubby made up some fried potato with corn beef. But added a little onion and cabbage to it.  

The other day I did video talking. with my son and his family down in Oregon. Grand daughter and I waved at each other.
