Day 33

Today Miss Nine made her own list. She had the same items that were on my list yesterday, and a few extra. Near the middle of the list she wrote "do give mom a hard time." When she read it to me she said DO NOT give mom a hard time. She was much more cooperative today, which just shows me that we are both better off when she is self motivated.

The governor has ordered all garden centers to close and I have read about people complaining that they cannot buy seeds for their gardens. When I was in Meijer today there were racks of seeds in the middle of the store. Seeds can be ordered online as well. There were not, however, jigsaw puzzles to be had. I am working on the last of my puzzle stash. Normally at this time of year I would not be starting another puzzle when the weather is warming up. It is snowing here today, and being stuck at home with the weather still cold has me wanting some more puzzles. I tried to find puzzles online with no luck. Here is what I found in the game aisle at Meijer. I was very disappointed. When I stood in line waiting to pay for my groceries I looked at the end cap, and to my happy surprise there was a rack of puzzles! I bought six.

A mass protest against the Governor Whitmer's  stay at home order was held in Lansing today. Hundreds of cars drove around the capital building, many people left their cars and carried signs. They interfered with ambulance access to Sparrow Hospital.  I wonder how many of them would not be alive today if their grandparents, great grandparents or great great grandparents had not been in quarantine in 1918. I also wonder how many of them exposed themselves unnecessarily today.
