Monday back to work - getting, reading, and answering emails and Slack, etc. The Governor has closed down the public schools for the year, while the University is going full tilt to try to finish the semester online with 4,000 courses, though Zoom and other means. A very nice, heartening message from our UVa President Ryan in the morning also. Discovered I might be able to use my Library account to send off my and the library's duplicate books through Better World Books. Then the first Zoom library session with Librarian John in the afternoon from 3 to about 3:45.
Our dryer has stopped heating and drying clothes - what to do? the vent was not clogged and it appears the wall fuses are okay. But we took ours to the Martin appliance store - they do not check to see if the fuses are okay or not. So I bought two to replace, just in case. Deej has looked up getting a new dryer ($400) and maybe also her freezer - both charge $30 for taking away the old ones.
We went to Preston Laundromat to dry 4 loads of clothes Need to buy a card and load money on it, then use it for drying - which is 28 cents per 8 minutes! Deej helped me carry the loads in her car and then left while I finished drying the cloths, folding etc. Gave a fellow woman at the laundromat my card which may hae had $1-2 unused on it. Went to Reids first and got soy sauce, sardines (no oils though, only water), scallions, etc. And then to Kroger for Deej's Turkey Roast 3/4 pound medium slices and called her that there was some cod and salmon, but no jars of yeast. Another customer was looking for the jars at the same time (looked like a Madrasi, who knew cooking) - and we were both disappointed and unsatisfied we could not find the jars of yeast.
Finished putting away my clothes at home, continued looking at email, Slack and nightly news - there was a great segment on what books to read See https://www.pbs.org/video/what-to-read-1585004975/ Ann Patchett of Parnassus books. Even a reading group spending 13 minutes a day going through War and Peace. Meanwhile Deej prepared a delighful supper of salmon, baked potato, and beans.
My friends emails and Facebook are following Ruth and Arny returning on their cruise boat from Chile, hoping to get through the Suez canal and home. Ruth's sister Jessica returned from her weeks in Australia yesterday to LA and trying then to go on home. Alan's with a walking group in New Zealand. Alan's coming from Nicaragua to be with his other daughter in Colorado. Julie's church had an online service yesterday. Robert told us he is still alive and was not to be confused with the John Bonham, who is known by some as the best ever rock drummer - played with Led Zeppelin, but died in 1980. I've put up two videos over the week end - one a sunrise down at Betty's in Palmetto, and the other pushing the use of Namaste - which I included Forrest Tobey's song. See Sunrise in Florida (January 2020) and Namaste. Laksmi was quite complimentary of me from that video.
