Day 26 Wednesday 4/8/20 COVID LOCKDOWN

Wednesday, April 8, 2020

The day dawned cloudy, but clouds lifted, the sun came out, and the day turned into a glorious night with the full moon rising, the stars crystal clear, and the space station ablaze at around 9:00 PM in the western sky.

Woke up a bit later than usual (7:45 AM), but anxious to get a go on the day as it felt that there was a lot to be done both with regard to class work, department work, and house work.  Sleep score was 84!!!

Started up a Sourdough Starter.....
Cleaned kitchen, guest bathroom, mudroom and vacuumed entire downstairs

Zoomed with Sarah and Becca at 10:30 AM - they are both feeling a lack of motivation as we all realize how serious this is and that it will get worse before it gets better and that it will likely be months before things get back to normal.  

Bleached front walk, swept up front porch area and the front bench.

Had my AM meetings with my Mellon colleagues and the Chem Dept.  
 PM meeting with Abby and David H.

DINNER leftover pork ternderloin and roasted sweet potatoes and roasted fennel, carrot, onion, caraway seed medley.  DELICIOUS

Senator Chris Coombs will visit with the Department April 24th.

Rich got the Small business loan application in to the church

ZOOMED with Choir tonight. Connie from FL and Keith from Maine.  Great to catch up with everyone.

Here's a prayer I really like:

Holy God,

Keep us mindful of those who lack basic resources in these times. We pray for those who are hungry or without a safe place to stay. We pray for those in homeless shelters, in prisons, in detention centers, where close quarters make social distancing even more difficult. We follow a Christ who looked out for the most vulnerable, the least, the last, and the lost. Help us too, in these anxious times, to serve first the ones who need the most.

Amen.
