Good evening my Corona friends and I hope everyone is surviving the heatwave we have going on here in the Northeast. Let me just get this out of the way right off the bat, I am thrilled with the pick of Kamala Harris to be on the Presidential election ticket, of course, the only thing better would be if she were at the top. I mean seriously people, has this whole Pandemic thing not shown everyone that WOMEN know how to get things done, all the while multitasking. This whole new layout of working from home, schooling from home, and managing all from home, it’s not like most men could have done it, just a fact.  I am not saying that most wouldn’t have tried but just can’t do it because they haven’t had to, whereas women have had to do much of everything and get paid less. Oh man, a change is in the air……we should all demand a raise.

Well, it has been week two for us here with my roommate and lover, and I am still trying to take proper care of him.  Today we had the dinner box and I decided to make it for lunch instead of dinner, and then we had sweet green salads for dinner.  We are very fortunate in that so many of our friends want to feed us, and I get to be the recipient of all that goodwill as well, so very grateful. Our friend Cindy delivered us the most delicious dinner the other night on a beautiful platter and the best part of it was a small jar of homemade hot fudge. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving, we had sundaes again tonight after those salads, turns out it was good planning on my part. Today we spoke with a personal chef that my daughter decided to offer to make some meals while in the shutdown, I guess she thought Dad needs more than the box.  Well, I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but man oh man, was she a bit of a pill. She had to interview us live, couldn’t fill out a questionnaire. She ran down a list of vegetables and fruits that we could give a yay or nay, and not sure we ever heard of all of them. She wanted to know about medications and cholesterol, did we want only organic and how much protein do we eat at a meal?  Hey, I thought this was about comfort, just dish up the meatloaf and mash potatoes already, and a nice apple crisp with some vanilla ice cream. I really shouldn’t be making fun of her because I am sure she has a lot of happy customers, and I have dreamed of a personal chef, but I don’t want it to appear as medicinal. Ok I am sure I am overreacting and she is a week or so out, so I will wait and reserve judgment, as we are always open to new experiences. Especially during the time of Corona, when we really don’t get to do anything or go anywhere. I wish I was one of those people who was crafty and started a new cottage business, but I rather park my ass on the couch watching Law and Order with a bag of Cape Cod chips. I know it has been very popular to do jigsaw puzzles but really we only have one table so can’t even begin to think of spreading out on that one, plus it has zero appeal to me. One thing that happened tonight was I was pouring myself a nice Ketel One over ice, with a bit of soda, and decided to add this Cosmopolitan mixer just because that pink bottle was so cute. Well, I was enjoying my nice cocktail over a huge mound of ice and noticed that I was getting a buzz way to quick. Well, when I finally read the label that half of glass of mixer was actually a readymade cocktail.  I go for the straight vodka, Lite beer, and sometimes my beloved Chardonnay and I don’t believe I ever bought a drink in a bottle or a can that was premade, so there you go you learn something new every day. I believe I am going to stick with mixing my own drinks without the help of one of these premade, that way I really know what I am getting, and it won’t be a weak pour…………………..

Just sayin
