===============================================================
How are you sleeping?
OK. A lot.
Are you eating? Regularly?
Yes. A lot.
Who are you talking to? (And how are you talking to them?)
To my son. The one I live with. He gets tired of it.
What’s on your mind?
Daily life. I am not ‘into’ the virus that much. I hope I don’t get it. I hope no one around me gets it. I hope the isolation ends within a reasonable time. Whatever that is. I have a bunch of stuff besides the virus that I worry about. It seems like a lot of things are piling up.
What do you know that would make me feel less anxious?
Eat? Sleep? Worry about different things?
What’s a trick you use to relax? (And when did you last do it?)
I play spider solitaire on the computer. I last did it about an hour ago.
Tell me a good thing.
Good things are all around us. We have scientifically speaking a million good things for every bad thing. Or maybe just six. But you get the idea.
1. My son a new phone.
2. I bought some good tangerines.
3. The daily paper comes every day.
4. Gracie continues being at least a dog and a half.
5. I have a house from which to watch sunrises.
6. I have a place like this to come to to meet my friends.

I like spider solitaire, too. And eating. I have been stress eating. I have a back porch where I can watch the sun rise and set and the grandkids play.

A woman I passed on my walk this morning smiled and said hello from an appropriate distance.

I find this whole situation is conducive to naps, lol, and to cooking lots of food, lol

I wish I were the cook you are. Everything you make is wonderful.
I like the idea of cooking but when it comes time to do it, I lose interest.
Oh I like to eat though.

Gracie IS a dog and a half. You are correct...there are things beside the virus to worry about.

Yes, so many good things.
What is spider solitaire?
woman in the moon Deleted user ⋅ April 04, 2020
It's one of Window's solitaires - it has 8 decks and they are all spades - well you can change them but I never do - so there is not alternating colors like regular solitaire and it goes fast and it's really fun. Since I quit working almost three years ago I have spent an embarrassing amount of time playing it.

I think it's on all windows computers. Look for games, look for solitaire, look for spider solitaire. But don't blame me if you like it too much.
This morning I laid in be and through of writing I could do = about my work life. I could write something good and something no one else has written - you know? I could. But I guess it would take more than coronavirus enforced solitude to do it.

Spider solitaire is the best solitaire.
woman in the moon Rivercity ⋅ April 04, 2020
I know. It's fast and forgiving. And I play with spades so there is matching of suits and colors. Good old Mr Gates gives me a big variety of games - difficulty varies and it's just fun. I wonder though about solitaire developers - oh you work for the biggest software company in the world and you.... what? develop solitaire? oh....

The Microsoft solitaire collection? Yes! I finished all of the dailies in March—my first time.

I haven't signed up for the official version. And I've got a glitch. It only wants to run when I'm unhooked from the 'net. Sometimes after I get solitaire working I can hook back up to the net and continue playing solitaire but not always. So I get a lot of practice hooking up and unhooking from the net.
'' those are the two apostrophes I left out of the above note.

I was eating orange wedges yesterday and thinking what a wonderful thing a citrus is.
