I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be,
but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

The end of a long, long month

We're finally coming up on April. I hope my readers are doing well.

The pandemic has been stressful to follow. Alabama just today went on lock-down. The governor waited until Alabamans started dying and the number of infected doubled overnight before she acted. Places like Alabama and its next door neighbor (Mississippi, who is dragging even slower) think they are the only places in the world and give no regard to what's happening mere hours away, much less around the world. It's a shame. We need smarter, less narrow-minded people in legislature. I wish everyone who is taking this seriously utmost safety.

I'm ok. I read some info released by PPI concerning HKPP and COVID-19, and it's a worst case scenario unfortunately. I'm having to stay far away from people and most places, but I'm surviving. I've received a generous stock of electrolyte drinks from Amazon thanks to online friends who helped. I'm grateful to them for the care they've shown me this month, and always. Yesterday, I traded my brother a loaf of bread and some Girl Scout cookies for a couple of packs of paper towels. Crazy times we're living in! I'm sure we can all agree that we didn't see this coming. I expect to be a hermit in April, but I hope we'll see things take a serious turn for the better by the time May rolls around.

My niece sent me a personalized birthday card.
Can you believe that's Baby Jo? She's NINE!


Ask is a wild and busy little place.
I reached 5000 responses this week.
Just a year ago, I think I was at 1200.


Eating is still a turbulent experience, but I am doing my best.
This was one of the good days: blackened snapper and scallops.

I have no idea what next month will bring, but I plan to blog about it and other things. Thanks again for sticking with me and reading my rambles. Stay safe, please.
