Last night’s sunset. Winter sunsets – at least here – are often the best. I’m not sure why, though I’m sure there is a scientific reason for that. Or there isn’t one, and it’s just my perception.
We took a walk in our little town yesterday afternoon. We’re determined to keep walking. I was forced to walk, and walk a lot, while I was in the city. I actually love walking around a city. Here? Not so much. Nevertheless, I lost weight while I was in the city. I can see my waist again. Plus, we’ve been really watching our diet for a several months. Winter is when I tend to be a slug, so that’s the time I have to be especially vigilant in terms of exercise. In a switch, Don was winded on our walk yesterday and I was not. Whoo hoo!
Today I’m going to try to clean up the outside pots and put the outdoor furniture on the porch. It’s a lot of work, but it’s relatively mild out there today, so I’m going for it.
The rapidly climbing Covid numbers are alarming. Some Broadway shows have had to close temporarily. Masks are required indoors in New York. (I always wore them anyway.) A woman I follow on IG said she’d been exposed to Covid and that several of her acquaintances who have been vaxxed and boostered, have tested positive. I’m glad I’m not there now. The movie set was rigorous about testing. We were tested 3 times a week – at least in my Zone A group – the group that was around the actors all the time. Mondays: both a PCR and an Antigen test. Wednesday: Antigen test. Friday: Antigen test. In total, I had 24 tests during the six weeks I worked on the movie. Plus, I had two PCR tests when I was working on Anastasia. And I also did an at-home test. Masks were required on set – whether outdoors or indoors. Masks were required when we were in the vans. We were very careful. I realize that people are tired of it all, but it must be done. I don’t have any patience for those who won’t wear masks. I wore one for 14-15 hours a day for 6 weeks. So do medical workers. Suck it up and do it.
End of tiny rant.
I had to find a bigger suitcase for the girls’ clothes. Don has a set of decorative suitcases that we found at a local antique dealer’s shop and he graciously allowed me to use one.
Zoe likes it. Heavens, she’s adorable.
Okay. Have to go.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
