I went to the office to pick up a fax and man it smelled good in there.  I think the cleaning people may have cleaned my carpet while I was gone.  It had smelled musty but now it just smells fresh.   I miss going there, but I'm going to stay home especially since the cases are really spiking right now.

Chloe, the 15 year old cat who's second cat mom died of cancer, was taken to the Humane Society.  I feel guilty for not taking her.  She was featured on one of their videos and has just been there a day or two.  The HS has an adoption rate of close to 100% so I'm not that worried, but have secretly decided if she's still there mid-week I'll go adopt her.

Then, today, I saw a new chiropractor. I heard last week that there was someone who had not closed his office, who was still seeing patients. I'm not allowed to see my osteopath due to social distancing--but he does see suspected Covid patients in person--and my condition has gotten quite a bit worse over the last few weeks. I can only do so much on my own. I had to balance the risk of possible Covid exposure against the clear reality of degradation of an existing condition. He's quite willing to see patients and the building is kept very clean. He's highly trained and understood my situation completely. He's expensive, though, and I have to pay for treatment that is covered under my insurance, but only if I receive it from the osteopath who I am not permitted to see. Annoying, to be sure, but I think he'll be able to help me.

Major vibes something good will come out of this and the new Chiropractor will be great and reverse the degradation of your condition!

[Jane]

DR Jeanne best of vibes you get the treatments you need.  I fully understand your frustration as I too have been left dangling with things.

Thanks, Jane. I do understand that Covid is extremely challenging, but I also feel that non-Covid patients have been shunted aside. Even if they can't make room for us they need to at least be honest and tell us what the situation is. I know what's happening in NY; I don't know what's happening here.

I expected this to happen but it doesn't make the reality any easier.

Indiana totals.

13,680 cases - 741 deaths - 128 cases in my county.

We have now surpassed your county in one day we had 129 new cases in one day we are up to 287.  With the county across the river we are at 582.  Rising faster and faster.  It's the meat processing plants, but they won't close them because it would mess up the food chain, so...

Sorry. 

[Jane]

The manager did tell me that part of the problem is insufficient PPE. That does not bode well for my upcoming surgery.

Is it happening now? 

[Jane]

Bryan currently has decent PPE but I am concerned it won't last.

[Jane]

The treatment left me kind of knocked out and I can't keep my eyes open.

Stay safe, everyone.

TTFN.

Sleep well and feel better tomorrow.

Nice.  I hope it still smells good once you can return full time.

I hope she finds a home.

I sent this to the Vixter this morning.  She asked if it was a photo of her

[Jane]

We just arranged for a video chat through Messenger for tomorrow.  It seems everyone wants to use FaceTime which we can't do on Keith's computer & my iPhone is way too small to see anything.

Dinner

[vixmom]

Vixdad’s dinner

[John G.]

My dinner was leftovers. Leftover spinach mixed with strawberries into a salad and a leftover piece of chicken that sort of bored me.

[John G.]

Just finished a French movie from 1942 called Le Marriage de Chiffon. It was delightful. I'm finding this whole set of Claude Autant-Lara movies to be the best surprise I've had in a long time.

[John G.]

I'm now starting Tom Brown's Schooldays, which I hope will be fun. For some reason, I could never get into the book.

[John G.]

To create a tradition after War and Peace last week, I've decided to watch one of my epics each Saturday. I'm finding more than I thought in my to-watch stack. Got a nine-hour German miniseries, at least two 5.5-hour Swedish series, Once Upon a Time in America, the new Forsyte Saga, Francois Truffaut's Antoine Doinel series, Lonesome Dove, Burt Lancaster in The Leopard ... who knows what all else.

I wouldn't have had unbroken time to watch these before. Tomorrow is Jean de Florette/Manon of the Springs. 

[John G.]

Your dinner looks wonderful, Vixmom.

[John G.]

Just because.

[Jane]

I sent this to the Vixter this morning.  She asked if it was a photo of her

I can see why.

[vixmom]

Your dinner looks wonderful, Vixmom.

Thank you.

Hilarious story of a person trying to help clean a library in England to keep the books from spreading COVID-19.

It's so wrong that I'm still laughing over it.

Thanks.  Today the NYT said Sioux City has the highest growth rate of cases of anywhere in the US.  Not a stat I'm pleased about

[cillaliz]

Don't know if I mentioned it, but tomorrow I'm going to go see if I can find the eagle's nest a friend told me about.  He said there are three little ones.  Hope I can see them

[John G.]

Well, Tom Brown's Schooldays is not turning out to be fun. It's a cruel, sadistic story of bullying in a boys school. It's over in 13 minutes.

[John G.]

let's move on ...
