Slowing it Down on Saturday

Brain cancer is...

 

...slowing things down.

A decade ago, on our first trip to the Caribbean, people warned us that it would take a while to decelerate from city pace to "island time," which moves more slowly.  They were right. On our first day, we had done everything offered at our resort...twice...by dinner time.  It took us until Day Three to get the hang of slowing down..

We decided today to adjust a little more quickly to the mandated home stay.  We're going to start making our to do lists shorter and hold still a little more.

Above Darrell made a delicious leisurely al fresco breakfast:  lox and bagels on the patio.  (The oranges are so good, Hallie! Thanks.) And by 4 pm, we had a fire in the fireplace and our episode of the Outlander ready to go. 

If we can slow down this far on Saturday, just imagine our snail like pace for Sunday!

Here are some smile inducers for us today. 

•  We slept in until 9 am.  Wow.

• Our marine toilet paper came (lower right).  It's almost as adorable as Darrell's foraged Charmin and four times the price.  Precious!  We'll save it for when you come over, or we can drop it off if you need it.

• We completed the 2020 census.  First, the census is a cool thing.  Second, Darrell said, "I didn't know I'd be here to be counted this time."

• The skies continue to be lovely.

• The hummingbirds returned to our backyard.

• Getting takeout is currently considered a safe practice, so we drove through Del Taco. Darrell got his taco skills back!

• People found ways to get outside responsibly and enjoy. Curt and Barb's granddaughter Annabelle was the nature boss.

• Some article online today got it right, in our opinion:  We should stop calling it "social distancing" and start calling it "physical distancing."  We need less social distance right now, not more. 

What made you smile today, Team D?
