Out of the fog!

I realize in a few days it will be two months since hubby's passing. I am slowly coming out of the fog of grief at least some what. There has been much loss not just for me and this situation but everyone has lost something in this season. With summer approaching we have spring rains flood advisories in some areas. Sun only comes out a bit now and then.

Yesterday I made deviled eggs I am enjoying them today.

We had rain in the night I was up could not get to sleep, then went back to bed and slept well.

I am grateful for google for info. looking up addresses and phone numbers for places as I fill out forms, so glad I thought of that is saved me time digging for that in paperwork yea!

I put a branch on my new duster to make it longer, I used a branch I pruned off the plum tree last month. It worked great when I did some dusting in the basement. I also swept the stairs.

I have made regular dough rolls, I have retired the sour dough I decided I do not like the crust it is tougher.

Got the trash to the curb. I need to focus on healthy habits so I have been thinking on that. Got on the scales first time since Jan. I was relieved that it was with in five pounds of the previous number. Counting that as a victory with all that is going on. Stress eating pie in the night put blood sugar up into ack land I need to not do that! Pie is gone now it was the last piece.

Today I walked with a friend at the park before checking on the curtains, nope could not find the kind I wanted to get for the spare room. I was considering sewing them, fabric was practically bare or getting a flat sheet to use as fabric for it nope none in stock, and a book it was not in stock either. This was mid afternoon I usually go in the morning. It was extremely picked over. I did find a pair of much needed walking shoes. I did not go to the grocery department. I do have a turkey in the freezer I got during the holidays. I have been trying to just have meat once a day.

At walk - mart. Another grocery store store I was at the day before in the morning was fully stocked and no empty spaces that I could tell. My local market has been well stocked when I go there it has what I need. Meat toilet paper etc.

Today I walked with a friend at a park and we had a good talk. It was the first time I have been able to chat with a friend in person since the first of the year, except over the fence the back neighbor.

I made regular biscuits they turned out well, I am still trying to tweak a recipe to have good rolls for family gatherings.

Our county is beginning to open up slowly, businesses have to submit a post covid safety plan before reopening to the health department or where ever the officials have decided that hoops need to be jumped through before opening something about chock points and hence arrows on the floor that now one pays attention to I noticed today.

I turned down two invites to cafe's I am just not ready to do that yet, it will be good to have them work out the kinks in the new system first.

I wore my new cute bee print face mask today hand made not by me. Rain in the forecast tomorrow and possible flooding in some areas.
