Becky, what does the PT think will help with the foot and ankle, or is that not a focus because that's not why you have PT? That would be good to get a some PT at the center instead of home. WOW on being in the low 90s already. Neither you nor the PT needed to be walking in that humidity yesterday. That's just nasty! Our gyms are opening in phase 1 and the gyms I belong to have spaced out equipment and deep cleaning the facilities. We will also have temperature checks when we arrive. Other than wearing a mask and gloves, I think I am going to wipe down the inside of my locker before I put my stuff in and take clean clothes to wear home. Churches can also open in phase one here and there are a lot of restrictions on churches, such as 50% capacity, no singing and no communion. What's the word from your church?
You are probably right on the bridge dream and lack of control over the current situation. I wonder if the salt dream may be something similar--like a lack of getting all your products of choice at the grocery store. GSMNP is still closed and part of that is because NC extended their stay at home order. They are not saying when the park will reopen. I hope you're having a quieter day today. Did DM's grocery delivery go well? Is today your delivery day? It's so much work today, whether you pick up or get it delivered.
Linda, are your olive trees autumn olive (an invasive) or the actual fruit we have on antipasti and pizzas? What did you do today? They said on our a.m. news that your high was going to be 104 today. Sorry....
Osteo has a ton of new regulations, Chele, which is to be expected since they serve an older clientele. Everyone is supposed to do their own temperature check before they show up for their appointment, so I'll have to remember to do that before I leave home. Can you catch up on 9-1-1 while Iggy is working during the day? I liked Monday's episode better than last week's. I think we only have a couple of episodes left in this season. Are you still having warm temperatures? We're having lots of wind today but the rain is supposed to happen later on. Glad it's not going to be tomorrow, Friday, or Saturday.
Denise, it's funny that we live so close to Dollywood but never go. When my inlaws were alive and healthy, we used to go with them quite a bit. But we've lived here for over 4 years and haven't gone one time. I'm feeling some better today and just keep forcing fluids. I'm mostly mixing fresh ginger tea with unsweetened cranberry juice. I think my fever broke over night but I still don't have a lot of energy. Our weather has warmed up today and it's currently 70 degrees, but we are expecting strong storms this afternoon into the evening. How is your WW plan going? How long have you been doing WW
How long will it take for you to hear back on your bloodwork, Liz? Are the labs getting slower right now? When do you think you'll get your dental work rescheduled? I agree on being leery about having surgery right now, or even go to the hospital. I'm sure there is as much that you have to undo right now as you had to do when you had to chance your processes to accommodate for covid patients. And then you may just have to get it all up and running again in the fall if cases increase the way they are supposed to.
Last night was a better night than the one before. Fever broke and pain on urination has mainly subsided. Dale is going to make the CSA run today because I can't get that far from a bathroom right now. I hope things will be totally resolved by tomorrow as I will need to pack up plants and get to the sale tomorrow morning. I haven't done much beyond cleaning up the kitchen and have a 2nd face mask about halfway done. That will use my last pair of hair elastics, so I hope I can find some on my way home from the sale tomorrow. Dale wants his next mask to have ties, so I may try to work on that this afternoon as well. We'll see how much energy I have.

Olive trees in AZ are the fruit kind. They stopped selling the pollinating kind a couple years back and there is a fruit stop spray , but the old ones keep going and floating in the wind.
Well, this week so far except for the library room all the dusting of furniture, edges of high plant ledges, drapes, baseboards; cleaner on window sills; Polish on furniture tops; changing beds; laundry; cleaning bathrooms. this afternoon I need to clean out the fridge and give Micki a bath.
still have all the vinyl flooring to mop tomorrow and I need to get the little vacuum to get at the dust bunnies under the beds!
I start my days lately with half hour or more of yard work before it gets over 80. Lot to do and it never ends. today was MiracleGro pots, citrus, and flower gardens.
..up two pounds but clothing is looser.
the urge to bake is strong, and we have had way too much dessert.

Karen Thanks for the start.The PT guy does work on my foot when he is here to loosen it up.He said my heel and ankle was very tight and I already knew my calf was tight.I work on them when I do my stretches on days he isn't here.I guess he only has 2 days left with me since I see the surgeon next Wednesday then sometime the head PT will have to release me so I can go to outpatient therapy once they reopen.He said she didn't think I would need much outpatient therapy so I will see what the surgeon thinks.Home health just really can't do much more without the machines outpatient has.I think it was him who didn't want to walk.LOL. I have walked one day when it was 95 but I don't plan to do it again.We had thunderstorms this morning and our high is 80.It's been a beautiful day.
Our gyms aren't opening in Phase 1.I haven't heard anything about our church services.Our pastor is very cautious.I think at least this weekend it will still be on Facebook.He gets together with the deacons to decide on things like that.He did that when he closed the church and he was one of the first ones to do so. HEB has now taken down their sign about face mask required and after I got to the car I did see one man without and since Abbott isn't requiring it they had to let him in.I guess the man doesn't have any regard for his life or anyone else's.Nobody in TX can open up to 50% capacity unless they have 5 confirmed cases or less in phase 1 here.That isn't Bastrop County for sure.Our local officials are saying we shouldn't depend on the government to decide what is best for us and I agree.I will continue to wear my mask.I'm glad your bladder infection is better.
HEB still doesn't have the Clorox wipes but they got in a shipment of an off brand disinfecting wipes and limit customers to 2 containers.I only needed one so I left the other one for someone else who needs them.They seem to work just as well as Clorox wipes and I do have Clorox spray so I'm good for now.

Karen, thanks for the start. Groceries are done. Less people must be having them delivered since my order and DM's were shopped within a few minutes of submitting them. Still no TP, but I actually had it in my cart, so they did have it when the store opened today. That's a good interpretation of the salt dream. Both of the deliveries went well this week. DM said she was worn out yesterday and I can sympathize today. It's a job trying to unload and clean everything. I had to jump in the shower when I was done.
I would think Osteo would be extra careful, so it would be a good place to go. I don't think I could wear a mask and work out. DM said she heard on the news that someone passed out while driving their car due to not being able to breathe well with a mask on. It's not even really hot and humid here yet, so I'm sure we'll be hearing of more incidents like that. I'm also wondering how all the temperature checks will work if people are hot from being outside. We've never made it to Dollywood either and I rarely go to the theme parks here. I think the theme parks will just be a fond memory for me until a vaccine or treatment is found. I can't imagine getting in those crowds or on rides right now. I heard something about Disney will limit the parks to 50% capacity at first, but that's still a lot of people.
Becky, yay on scoring some wipes! I'm sure they're just as good as Clorox. I wish more people would be like you and only take what they need. Someone from Publix said they see the same people come in every day and buy the TP.
Waving to everyone. Have a good evening.

Our governor is proceeding cautiously.
“PHOENIX - During a news conference, Governor Doug Ducey announced that Arizona's stay-at-home order will be extended to May 15, with modifications.
According to an executive order issued to amend the original stay-at-home order, officially titled as the "Stay home, Stay healthy, Stay connected" policy, retailers not classified as an essential business may, starting May 4, operate through delivery service and other means that do not entail in-store
Plans will also be announced next week on a return to dine-in operations for restaurants. Gov. Ducey did say during the news conference that in a best-case scenario, restaurants could reopen by May 12.
"We will continue, in Arizona, to put public health first," Gov. Ducey said.
The executive order states no county, city, or town may issue orders, rules, or regulations that conflict with the executive order.
The Republican governor is holding the news conference just one day prior to the original expiration date of his stay-at-home order that started March 31.
Gov. Ducey said the return to normalcy will be gradual and phased in, based on CDC and health expert recommendations through May and June
