The Virus - Day 30

Woke up ... singing??!!!
Songs like - Day Oh by Harry Belafonte...and others by him I know. I need to compile some lyrics of his songs...
Had breakfast... last of the "special" matzo and some other stale matzto... in my matzo brei.. w/cheese. Onto other uses for matzo... or matzah as I usually spell it. Depends on the box and brand.

Good looking day out there. Thought I have is to walk to blood source for platelets donation. It is listed as 32 minutes on google. I would allow for 45-50 minutes as I stroll - I will let you/this know later.

Finally got the NY Times delivered to Deanne's address. Missed yesterday's Science section. Times has obits... as usual... but has added special section for about a half-dozen selected Virus victims included today was a 22 year old new father and an 89 year old Rabbi. Also there were a slew of interesting tweet-type posts from China honoring Dr. Li Wenliang who first alerted the world of The Virus. Poignant stuff. Sad and hopeful and just messages, too.

Last night... as I was getting into bed and talking w/Deanne - I had to leave and go read in the other room since I couldn't bear hearing her reports from the news on her phone of all the idiots and stuff related to The Virus. It was on top of the days shit about it... and the sad/tense book I'm reading - The Goldfinch by Donna Taart. I am mid-way through that book and the young man, Theo, has just returned to NYC after the death of his in-debt gambling father who seemed to be a committed deadbeat. Two things -- one - too much sadness/tension for me... and two - not in bed at the end of the day, please, when we need to rest and process via dreams. We already have enough difficulties getting good sleep and rest. When I returned later I went to sleep pretty well. Awoke this morning -- singing.

So.. it is about 8:30am and the day will include a walk (maybe to blood bank), platelets donation at the blood bank (as long as pressure is ok, emails to local JHS and HS's about Rotary scholarship. That's all on calendar. After emails I will read, watch tv (last of free available Inspector Morse, other) and some telephone calls/or zooms. Also may stop at Breton for a few things. (did I bring a lock for bicycle which is now at Deanne's?)

More later --- ===============================
