I hope this post finds you all healthy, and happy. even. We are all doing well here, in our seclusion. Though, seclusion does not sit well with me, I am doing my part.
For the most part, I sleep, watch Youtube, cook, and clean (some). We are still at Juan’s house, but Paty texted me today that they will try to come home this weekend. In Saltillo, visiting their oldest son, they are prohibited from leaving the house. Here, at least, we are able to leave, but are restricted from gathering in groups more than ten people. The stores have a guard at the entrance that has a large bottle of gel sanitizer which he squirts into everyone’s hand as they enter.
We go to the store, come back, wash our hands, and go on about our business, which, usually, includes cooking a meal or two, or doing some laundry, for the family here. I must say, with so much repetition, I am getting pretty darned good at frijoles, arroz, y sopas. (Ok, that was beans, rice, and soup). The laundry part is a no-brainer. Plus, the pork, cooked in the Instant Pot, is amazing. There is plenty of that in the freezer, as well.
I am also really good at preserving all of the above. You know me folks- I am the Vacuum Sealer expert. Everything I make, that is of significant quantity, I freeze overnight, then vacuum seal it the next day, and put it in the freezer. That way, when P&P come home, there will be enough food in the freezer so they will not have to chance going to the supermarket.
The one highlight of all of this is that we are watching GOT again. I have never watched a series with such good acting as Game of Thrones. If you have not seen it, I highly recommend it. If you like period pieces, dragons, beautiful costumes, excellent acting, this is the series for you. Even Ivan enjoys it. Now we are getting the others here to watch it as well. It has thirteen, or fourteen, different languages in the subtitles!!!
Enough for today. The high today was eighty eight degrees, and I did not suffer unduly. We stayed downstairs, for the most part, where it is about five degrees cooler.
Stay healthy, and try to keep happy. This will be over soon, and we will pick up the pieces and move on.
