Julie would be wise to keep far away from that gardener, WA State is
rife with virus and if he's messing with her he's messing with others.

I found out yesterday that my cateract surgery is postponed, only
emergency surgeries are being performed, cateract surgery is elective.
I was supposed to go in tomorrow to be seen by the retina specialist
but that's been canceled too, they will contact me when they have a
new date and I was told to phone in a month if I don't hear from them.
With this virus I wasn't keen on having my eyes examined, with all the
machines I'd have to press my face into I doubt they are being
sterilized religiously... especially since they are constantly warning
people to not touch their eyes.
My wife wears contact lenses, has been for years, she buys tubes of
small round sterile cotton pads for cleaning make-up from around her
eyes or if her eyes itch... now she mists the pads with rubbing
alcohol to carefully clean make-up from around her eyes... now I do
the same if my eyes itch.. of course eyes itch a lot less when one is
not thinking about it.

I hope everyone is being careful... for me it's easy, I'm in military
mode... I simply pretend I'm standing lookout on an open bridge while
at sea during a wild storm... been there, done that, many times. I
just scrubbed my hands with Dawn and a surgeon's brush and then a
slosh of Crystal Palace on my hands and one in my mouth for a minute's
swishing and then swallowing.

These are wonderful hand scrubbing brushes, I bought a dozen a while
ago when they were on sale at $10/doz, now $12.95/doz, still a great
bargain. These work well and so gentle yoose gals can fearlessly use
them to scrub yoose privates, much more enjoyable than loofas:

It's snowing here in the Northern Catskills but at 32ºF it's not
accumulating.

Everyone be safe.
