I accept that that the worst is yet to come; yesterday a doctor said that this fall and into early spring this country will be hit hard. So far in Juneau we're still fairly in control, numbers are small- if everyone complied rigorously with what we know does work, Alaska could be one of the 'safe' areas because we are remote and the only way in is by water or by air.

I am attempting to simply remove myself from the equation- just as fervently as I don't want to get it (that is NOT the way I want to die) I also don't want to give it to anyone else. So I stay home, order my groceries by phone and KT does a curbside pickup for me once a month or so. I am well taken care of.

Couple of things I have learned: #1. I would not like to be in prison. I had often wondered how I would fare but the question is now answered. In prison I would not be living in a suite and I would probably have to share my cell with a roommate. #2.There are still a lot of things for which I am grateful and I remind myself of that every day.#3. I wish someone would show up at my door with a dog.
