Tuesday - the last day of March

I slept in - I slept in until 10am. It is getting harder to convince myself to get up in the morning. At least I did take a shower this morning, something I didn't do yesterday.

And we did get out and walk. I put Jesus Christ Superstar on Spotify and we just started moving. I let Brownee lead the way. We saw very few people while we were out. None on the streets of the Lakes. A bicycle passed us while we were on the Trail. There were a few other walkers. I don't know where they all are. People are really just staying in their houses.

Daily Walk - Wednesday

So here it is Wednesday. I nearly forgot about posting here on my blog today. I was already out on my walk when it entered my mind. One thing I did notice about myself today is that I am not in too good of a mood. I had hoped that getting outside would clear it out but nope, didn't happen.

Brownee and I picked it up and cut a minute off of our pace. But the problem with that is I couldn't handle distance. Of course I've been sitting for the past few months more than walking, so my stamina isn't up to where it was last summer. It will get back to where it was with time.

Today we only saw a couple of people outside while we were walking. One was on the Trail and the other was walking to her car. There were only a couple of cars moving about withing the park. People must be settling in.

When we got home there was exciting mail from Fed-ex. The yarn I ordered from Premier yarns! Now I have something to work with while I am sitting on the couch.

Public Safety Message

This just came through on my phone:

From the Executive Office of the Governor: The State of Michigan's Stay Home Stay Safe order takes effect at midnight tonight. Nonessential travel is prohibited. As necessary, you may leave your home for health and safety reasons, to get groceries and supplies, for certain outdoor activities, and to care for others. See www.michigan.gov/coronavirus

I am now feeling very cut off from the world.

Afternoon Walk

Brownee and I went out for our daily walk. The neighborhood was empty. I suppose the fact that it's only 35 degrees is also keeping people inside, not just the order to shelter at home.

Actually we did see one person at the mailbox. And there were several cars coming and going. 

The man at the mailbox told me our community office was closed, that a phone number was posted on the door for a contact in an emergency. I'm guessing our park manager doesn't think she is essential services. 

SAH Order

Yep, she did.

"(WXYZ) - Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a "Stay home, stay safe" executive order on Monday morning, going into effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and lasting at least three weeks.
Critical services will remain open, and people will be allowed to leave to go to grocery stores, pharmacies, to take care of family members, and you can still go outside for walks, runs, hikes and more. Just maintain social distancing. Also remaining open will be banks, gas stations and more.
Schools will also remain closed until April 13."

We are joining Ohio, California, Illinois and a few other states in this.

Covid 19 - Isolation

I decided to revive my blog to keep a diary of sorts of my days of isolation, due to the worldwide virus, Covid 19 - also known as - Coronavirus.

It is believed that today the Governor of Michigan will issue a Stay at home order for the state. I have been doing that for several days now. I haven't left the house for non-essential reasons since March 14th. I did go to the pharmacy on the 17th, but used the drive-through, and to the grocery store on the 18th. But both of those trips are considered essential, even under a SAH order.
