Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day Fifty-Nine

Once more, the day was dominated by Toastmasters (at least for me). I had two meetings, one of my home club and one of the club I’m mentoring, and ended up being a speech evaluator at both (and winning “Best Evaluator” at both, too!). And then I worked on other Toastmasters projects for much of the afternoon.

Beyond that, we mostly walked around the neighborhood.

And I finally got back to working on photo culling and editing – I’m in August, 2001, when we went on a two-week trip to British Columbia and Washington with Diane’s brother and his wife. So far, I’ve been able to figure out where almost all of them were taken, at least to the town level – it helps to tell the story.

Shelter-in-Place Journal, Day Fifty-Eight

It was a pretty quiet day; there were a lot of people out when we took our walks – it’s a good thing there isn’t much traffic, because we had to go into the street several times to maintain social distance.

I had a routine appointment with my cardiologist, which we did online. I still had to wait for her, but I was able to put the time to constructive use by packing up electronics to send to Apple to recycle – much better than waiting in an exam room.

We had Kentucky Mules after dinner – now we’re out of bourbon! We still have limes and ginger beer, so we’ll have to replenish the bourbon supply; fortunately, BevMo offers contactless pickup, so I don’t think going there counts as a shopping trip (but I will have my mask with me).
