Today was another stifling hot day. It felt like those days people refer to when they talk about frying an egg on the sidewalk.
The ‘Zany Day’ song was “Politician” by Cream. From 1958 here’s one you may remember: “__, if I pray every night you’ll come back to me. __, If I cry every day, you’ll come back to stay. Oh, __.” Hint: It’s by a girl group, and it’s kind of a ‘What if’ song.
This morning we had to go to Big C, so we started thinking about somewhere ‘new’ to get coffee. We were on our way to a repeat at Work@Home when I missed the turn. It put us right in front of a little shop that supports a new art gallery space. We got our iced-coffee and sat in the garden area listening to cool music. It was perfect.
Big C was the busiest we’ve seen it in a long time. We got there before 11am, which meant they weren’t selling liquor yet. The lines in front of the bank branches were quite long since they’re still observing social distancing. Since you can’t get into the store building without a mask, it was comforting to know we were protected. Not that long ago it was hard to locate face masks, now there are many choices around the check-out stands. Now we have a little selection at home. What fun!
Have you noticed, every time you put your mask on and go out in public, someplace on your face starts to tickle?
It seems like no matter what time JaiDee goes to sleep, he seems to wake up at 6:15am. I guess that's how it’s going to be.
Today’s photo shows JaiDee standing on his hind legs at the kitchen sink with Natcha, bidding us goodbye. It’s a little blotchy through the screen.
This afternoon we were getting ready to swim, hoping to beat the rain that was lurking. Nitchanan was more than ready to join us, and we assured Natcha that it was OK. With her ‘water wings’ in place, our resident mermaid slipped into the water and demonstrated everything she’s learned this week from Gong. She can now hold her breath without holding her nose, and she can put her face in the water, kick her feet (like a frog) and move about 4 feet per breath. She did the length of the pool, with a little help from Lisa and a paddle board. Lisa asked her if she could use her arms and her quick answer was, ‘No’. The thunder came and we had to go, but she didn’t fuss about it. Later, she and Gong returned to the water for a longer session.
A few minutes ago there was a volley of fireworks close by and it really freaked JaiDee out. Maybe that’s not the right term, it was an intrusion on his serenity and he barked used his 'big dog voice’. We get these fireworks outbursts when there’s a funeral in the neighborhood.
As life begins the attempt at a new normal, remember to act as if it’s still in outbreak mode.
Have a Wonderful WeekEnd. Time for the ‘Funnies’.
Peace,
Danny
