Disruption of the usual routine is the name of the game now.

Working from home certainly is a disruption. It makes the line between home and work too fuzzy. It\’s got me sitting too much. I need to find a way to stand part of the time while still getting my job done.

There\’s confusion, too. Last I knew for sure, day before yesterday, it was still OK to go outdoors to exercise; just stay at least 6 feet away from anybody else. Then yesterday I read an online news article that seemed to say, everybody must self-quarantine! So which is it?

Getting out on my road bike is helping me to keep my sanity. It\’s letting me get fresh air, and keeping me more or less fit. And, may I go to the grocery store this weekend? I\’m running out of apples! At the rate I\’m going, I\’ll soon be running out of brown rice, too.

I had had some MRIs scheduled for this morning. I don\’t have a car, and with various forms of transit interrupted, I decided to cancel, and reschedule them later. In addition, it probably is wise to keep my distance from any medical premises at this time, unless it\’s a real emergency.

There are far fewer cars than usual on the roads. Almost no airplanes flying over. It\’s almost eerie. But I sure like the quiet.
