Sunday and Online Church Again

I slept pretty well last night except I woke up in the middle of the night with a terribly stiff and sore neck I must have slept crooked or something. Finally about 4:00AM I got up and took an Aleve then after awhile I was able to get back to sleep. I got up at 5:00AM as usual, dressed and got my makeup on and fixed myself some breakfast of oatmeal, coffee and a breakfast bar.

I came in here to the den with it and checked my e-mail....nothing significant there. I will be so glad when this election is over. The country and I are worn out with it. Between the election and the coronavirus, we are all exhausted. I will be so glad to be able to go down the Bartlesville Oklahoma again. That place is rampant with the virus and I have avoided it for weeks...actually months. Just last night they had another 1800 cases. I miss walking around the mall, I understand it is almost empty nowadays. Many of it's businesses are closed. Oh well, I don't spend as much money this way. Mainly it is on my hair and groceries.

I haven't checked on the cats/kittens yet. So I guess I will do that and turn on the news on TV. 

More later...

All the cats and kittens were waiting for me to check on them and bring them out some breakfast so I took out the double dish, two bowls and the square one.  They dug in as though they hadn't eaten in days and it was just last evening.

I am watching "Face the Nation" now. I will turn off the TV after that. I am exhausted with the election...especially with all the lies the president spreads. 

For example, he knows Joe Biden only plans to raise taxes on anyone making more then $400,000 and corporations yet Trump constantly says Biden would raise the taxes on all citizens....even  low income people. People who are not educated will believe anything he says.

People need to pay attention to the science but when the ignorant president doesn't, some of his followers tend to believe him regardless. 

I had my lunch and discovered that when I opened the package of my ice cream bars for dessert, the one I took out was an unopened package but empty. I contacted Schwan's about it and they are looking into it. They needed the ID number off the package. I had saved the unopened package in hopes that they could make it good. Those ice cream bars are expensive.

After I had my lunch, I watched the church service from our church in Toronto Canada.  As usual, it was very good. Then I went back to playing Free Cell. I also fed the cats/kittens their lunch. 

I left a note on both the kids' vehicles (next door) under their windshield wipers. Suzanne had given me their deposit to give them and they found the notes and came and rang the doorbell to pick it up. They will be moving into a larger place this next week. She is going to have a baby in February and they needed more space. They may have needed cheaper rent too. Anyhow. I was glad to get their money back to them.

It is 2:00PM now and I have nothing really to do. It's too cold to try to mow the leaves and I probably couldn't do it anyhow. I would like to get the front done since it looks like a mess but until all the leaves fall, it wouldn't do any good.

More later...I want to see if I have any unread books on my Kindle.

I watched the Chiefs football game and afterward 60 Minutes as usual. Trump was impossible. Leslie asked him some tough questions as she always does when she interviews the candidates before the election and he told more of his lies  and tried to deny what he had said at his election rallys but of course they had the rallys on tape and it was obvious.

After a short time, he got up and suddenly left the interview. No character at all.

I took my bath after the show was over and will go to bed at 9:00PM as usual. Nora O'Donnell interviewed Joe Biden and it was altogether different. He was his usual pleasant self and answered all the tough questions she asked him candidly. I recorded the show as I usually do.

The election season goes on too long. It gets to be too much. It will be such a relief to have the election over and everything sorted. Unfortunately, it will only be a relief if my candidate wins.

I now have more concerns about the Covid virus and am worried about how many people are now getting it in my local area and how safe it is to even go to the grocery store or (especially) inside of a drug store for anything, as it seems that may be a more germ-y place. Many people around here wear a mask, but pull it down so their nose, or mouth and nose are exposed. Our Democrat County Executive fought allowing bars and other covid-spreading places to be open for as long as he could and then our Republican governor and others forced him to open everything up, now our area is having a quick, high rise in the virus. I just saw on the news that our President very recently said in a campaign speech that "as soon as the election is over the Virus will be gone"!? Maybe he was delirious to have said that.

My husband has no intention of going to a hair salon to get his hair cut with so high of a virus rate around here. The last time we went and had hair cuts was at great clips back in March. His hair is so thick and long on the back of his head that it is making him too warm. He ordered an electric hair clipper of some type from Amazon, and plans to cut his own hair with it. I am terrible at cutting hair, so he is going to do it himself. I will hold a hand mirror so he can see the back of his head in the bathroom mirror. Just visualize my husband, me, and our Pomeranian in our very small bathroom working on this hair project. Please, anyone reading this, keep your fingers crossed that my husband doesn't end up looking like his hair was attacked by giant moths or worse.

The best rule would be to have a government mandate for face masks and distance. All the specialists and scientists say they work.

Personally I don't leave my apartment without a mask.

I go to a beauty shop every week and my beautician wears a mask. Under those circumstances I feel safe there.

Margie's Musings said...

I hope the haircut works out Susie!

I really like the instant oatmeal that has peaches in it. I think it's very tasty!

I agree about having a government mandate for mask coverings. I don’t know how Trump supporters would stand for it though. They don’t seem to care when they go maskless to his rallies.

Margie's Musings said...

That's true~ That's because it's all about them. They don't really care about others they may infect. That's why they are fans of his.

Wearing a mask seems like such a small sacrifice for a very important cause. I'm shocked and appalled by people's attitudes. I admire you for watching Trump; I get so angry that I start screaming at the TV. Not good for my blood pressure.
