My husband
died four years ago. He would not have liked this current pandemic. Even though
he’d fallen on the ice two years before that and become partially disabled, he still
went out to walk around the block every day with a cane or a walker. Neither
one of those devices would have given him the agility to move aside if someone
was walking toward him closer than the mandated six feet.
Would he
have continued to go out to walk? How irascible would he have been if he’d
felt unable to go out to walk? (Before his fall he'd gone to the gym almost every day.) On the other hand, he would have insisted that
we get a replacement TV as soon as the old one broke (see March 1 post). I
finally ordered one from Best Buy today. The webpage says it will be delivered
by Thursday. We’ll see how that works out.

I’m participating in the 13th annual
Slice of Life Challenge over at Two
Writing Teachers. This is day 30 of the 31-day
challenge. It’s not too late to make space for daily writing in a
community that is encouraging, enthusiastic, and eager to read what you have to
slice about. Join in!
