I know things now, many valuable things, I hadn’t known before. -Into the Woods

Happy Thursday! Today was another day of dog walks, exercise, music making, a weekly trip to the grocery store and another dinner.

I attempted a trip to the grocery store at 8;30am and immediately came back home. The parking lot was full and lots of people going in. I went back at 10:30 and tried again. The parking lot was much emptier and I decided it was a go. I couldn’t believe the plastic gloves just left on the ground in the parking lot. Really? Anyway, I guess people are just so scared they aren’t completely thinking. I got everything on my list but there were still empty shelves. Mac and cheese, pasta, rice and toilet paper are still gone. Eggs were at a minimum, butter too. Hopefully supplies will get better as the supply chain evens out.

Today’s CrossFit workout was a lot of fun from home. Burpees and jumping jacks, two 7 minute rounds. It felt great to workout today.

Lucy got a walk again today before the rain started. I’m pretty sure she loves the fact that she takes her human on a walk. She tried for the long way today, but she was unsuccessful. Poor girl…

Dinner tonight was a throwback to our time growing up in Kansas City. There is a restaurant called Big Burger on Vivian Road. They serve giant breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches. Anyway, that was tonight’s dinner. Dinner was super yummy but really unhealthy. According to Matt, mine are better than the sandwiches at Big Burger; yes!!!!

After dinner, we all sat down and watched Into the Woods. We watched the original with Bernadette Peters as the witch! I watched it when I was in high school. We had a chuckle, at the wolf’s costume which was quite anatomically correct. I love this show! There are so many lessons about following dreams, hindsight is 20/20, regrets, partnerships, not being alone in this world and be careful for “children will listen.”

Keep staying home friends and staying safe. I keep thinking about medical personnel, first responders, cashiers, skilled trades and others that still need to work. They are risking their lives to keep food on our tables, provide medical care and keep us safe.

Matt found this on twitter from a physician, Scott Gottlieb MD. Michigan’s trajectory is steeper than that of New York. Really scary stuff everyone! He is especially concerned for Detroit. Please keep staying home, we don’t know where the next hot spot could begin. On that sobering note… take care friends.
