I did so and then washed my hands. I think you are right about the virus although people seem to think the summer heat will kill it. I wish. I have a super recipe for leftover chicken. It's on this blog somewhere if you are interested.

I trust that you all kept your distance from each other and no one is asymptomatic. Miriam is making masks and donating them to various organizations, and she ran out of the size of elastic she needs, and of course she is unable to buy more at present, so she inquired on Facebook as to anyone who might have some they would be willing to contribute. Someone dropped off a small amount last evening, just enough for three masks I believe, but they just pounded on the door and left a paper bag in the porch. I wear the mask she made for me every time I go into an area where there are people. I realize it is not of surgical quality and does little to prevent airborne droplets, but it has the effect of making it impossible for me to touch my nose or mouth, a great help, I believe. I suspect that it will be many months before we are done with this damn virus! I bought a barbecued chicken at Costco yesterday (best deal in town), we sautéed some potatoes with onions and garlic, and together with green beans it was a fine dinner. There is enough left for at least one more meal and the carcass will be used to make soup. Stay well, Jo.David M.

I got heavy napkins and poured alcohol on them then stuck them in a zipper bag to carry in my purse so I can wipe down my cart, keys, door handles, etc. I probably look like Howard Hughes!

At least they are non-infectious.<br />I do hope your neighbour can clean for you.<br />Disinfectant wipes cannot be had for love nor money here at the moment - and chicken thighs are in short supply too.<br />I hope you get a decent nights sleep.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
