SENIOR LADY COVID-19 WISDOM!





National Preparedness Month.

Senior friends, yes, I am staying home!
I'll admit that I was going out to get
groceries or to buy take out dinners two or three days a week.  Now, things
have gotten out of hand! The number
of people in my state with COVID-19
has tripled! Our governor has issued
"STAY AT HOME" order!

to Stay at Home

I have no problem obeying this order. 
I was going to cut back on the travel outside of my home anyway.
I am a senior in fairly good health 
but I am not a fool! I don't have to be burned with fire to know its HOT!
I have hand sanitizer, a reuse mask,
and gloves to wear when I pick up
medicine or go to the grocery store.




I used to cook a scratch meal on Sundays. Now, I cook every day!
I cook quick meals like pasta, 
chili, and casseroles. I can get
three meals out of these meals
and don't need a lot of meat
added.


I am checking on my Mom daily and calling friends I lost contact with. 
I call, email, or text them.

I am making a "To Do" List of projects 
to do every week. These projects are
chores I hated! I already had hobbies and crafts that  I liked to do. ! have already started seeds for my container
garden. I was wise and bought the plants and herbs for my container garden before the "Virus" became Pandemic!

My family made of a list of things we need in case of an emergency. We based the list on things we would buy 
if we were "snowed in" or
experienced aftermath of tragic hurricane or tornado. The usual
hand sanitizer, toilet paper, bread, water, and canned goods were necessities. Fresh meats sold out fast
in my local grocery stores. A few stores have early hours just for Seniors. 
This was a very smart move that I 
appreciated so much!!

I "Thank God",  every day that
I wake up and realize I do not have symptoms of COVID-19. I say a 
prayer for victims with the "Virus".
I have to limit the hours I spent
listening to the updates about
COVID-19. Hearing the numbers 
increase daily can be unnerving.
I try to press on with daily life 
and keep the faith!
