We are considered among the "elderly" now. This is a designation I would take advantage of as needed. Otherwise, I'm happy (and lucky) to be able-bodied and self-sufficient.

Today starts Week Two of self-isolation, or, as it is often called in the media, sheltering in place. No need for a grocery run yet. I still think of the weekend as a more crowded time at the usual stores, but I wonder if that would be the case now. Our city government has put responsible restrictions in place.

Books. Online movies and music. Friends. Time. All good gifts.

Be well. Stay safe.
