I’m the first to admit that I like going to, or my memories at least of going to Clint Eastwood movies or Charles Bronson or James Bond.

OMG!!! I woke with violent diarrhea, isn’t that a sign of COVID? It is also a sign of eating way too many Yupik sun-dried tomatoes. I ate a couple of pounds snacking on them while I watched Bond. I usually watch those during “Bondtober”, a tradition started with now long gone children, but I felt like it.

 

I checked my temp and checked my O2 all within normal operating parameters. Besides, I have not left the house in 13 days, I have had no contact with anyone. I don’t plan on travelling for another week or so. I think I am good just a little paranoia. Considering the last place I visited was a hospital for tests, that had an outbreak three days before that, I think my nervousness was justified.

Today is a small milestone, as I crunched frozen grass wearing my “mandals” with icy toes, I fed my winter birds their litre of sunflower seeds. Now it starts. Soon to be cutting wood, then splitting that wood for heat. Every day until June. The bad part I only have wood enough till December, if I ration.

It may not look like anything yet. But I am making progress little by little.
