Isolation Diary: And today a visit from Maggie, Adam, and Fig. I put on a mask so I could hold Fig. He was intrigued and his focus became experimenting on how to remove it. Mostly, we all hung out in the yard, at distance, and Fig crawled around on the grass, walked with the push toy, pulled flowers off their stems. What a lift to my spirits. Although Maggie says she will be in stress for 5 days while she waits for me to erupt in symptoms. Upon leaving she asked me if I was sanitizing my mail. No. I hadn’t even thought of that. The blueberries that Jessie brought me yesterday are from Chile. What’s going on in Chile?!! Should I cook these blueberries? My plan was to eat them for breakfast with yogurt. And I did. Danger Danger Danger! Or…How long have these blueberries been in transit? When were they last touched by a human? Was that human wearing gloves? And what does that matter if the gloves themselves are contaminated? I am at the edge of a rabbit hole. Is a better idea to just go out unmasked, bumping up against people, maybe visiting a nursing home and contracting this virus…..and surviving? If I do, of course

No, Ruth, that’s not a good idea. Just keep on doing what you’re doing. I’ve been enjoying your blogs – thxOthers agreed with Janet—I should just keep on isolating.
