Day 23

-
Our days have fallen into a pattern:

  • Up fairly early, feed the cats, shovel the litter boxes, make tea
  • Anne showers, we each do yoga (sometimes together, sometimes I do sun salutations and she does AM Yoga with Rodney Ye on DVD)
  • Breakfast
  • Read the paper, do the Set Puzzle in the New York Times, and if I haven't done the crossword yet, I do that
  • Around 11 AM we listen to Governor Cuomo's briefing
Depending on the day, one of us might have a Zoom event. Today I facilitated the Thursday morning Faith4Life class at First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown through Zoom. Anne was going to Zoom with her friends but instead, we got out and took a nice long walk along the trails at Gedney Park.

Looking at the bright side, we've discovered the trails at Warburg Park and rediscovered the trails at Teatown Reservation. We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

At this point I know at least six people who either have COVID-19 or who probably have COVID-19--it's not so easy to get tested to be sure.

Anne and I are starting to think that we might have had COVID-19 or something very close to it in December, before everyone else. Anne had a dry cough and went to Urgent Care where she was diagnosed with an upper respiratory viral infection. I had a cold in November, got over it, and then got sick in December shortly after Anne did.

When we went to Cancun in mid-December we were both sick, and it hung on for weeks.

Who knows? COVID-19 might have been around for quite a while before it was "named." Or not.

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Coronavirus and the election? Thank heaven it's over

 Things are weird in the Corey-Knapp household. I just found a draft of a post I wrote in July but never published. Oh well, that's old news. We're going a little stir crazy. Oh, we've been out of the house. We've gotten haircuts, gone shopping, been to the dentist (both of us), and even a few doctor's appointments. Okay, more than a few--remember, we're old. But now that we're both retired we would like to be traveling, to somewhere other than Whole Foods. And now this (as John Oliver would say)-the election! I am stunned that so many people could vote for Trump after these past four years, especially after these past eight months. But I'm particularly stunned that people who call themselves Christians could vote for him. When I see signs like "Catholics for Trump" or learn that friends of mine think he's done great things for the economy, I realize that we live in two different Americas. A friend recently posted on Facebook "Well,

Is it really 2023?

 Where have the pandemic years gone? Feels like "down the drain." It's been nearly two years since I last posted, and although life has returned to some semblance of "normal," whatever that means, I'm still having difficulty remembering when things happened. I've taken to saying, "Is that BC (before COVID)?" And now it's Passover and Easter again. Back to large seders--fourteen this year on the second night of Passover-and sunrise services. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy Easter/Passover/Ramadan. Peace.

Summer Vacation

How great to be able to post about summer plans, even though one set of plans was precipitated by my dad's death. A big part of our summer (unplanned for!) is cleaning out the house on Rhodes Street. My dad died on May 29th, at 99 years and 4 months (although I’ve been saying 99 ½). The picture below was taken on January 11, 2020, Dad's 98th birthday. We were at Jonathan's in New Hyde Park. Jonathan's was dad's favorite restaurant, and where we had the funeral lunch. We moved into the house on Rhodes Street in New Hyde Park in 1955 and although we cleaned it out a bit when mom died in 1998 there is still a ton of stuff, including furniture, that nobody wants.  My sister Gini, my brother-in-law Bob, Anne, and I have spent five full days working on this over the last six weeks. Two of those days included filling a dumpster with the help of our cousin Jack. The plan is one more day of work and then we’re hiring someone who specializes in cleaning out houses. Once it’s
