Self-isolation Day 44.


Last night I went to bed at 10:30 but Teresa was still up listening to the rosary while doing the dishes.  I finally fell asleep after she came to bed.  I got up once during the night then again at 4am when Teresa she said something in her sleep. I got up at 5am, took a sleeping pill and was soon back asleep waking/ getting up at 9am.


I watched the 2-hour Today show.  They reported that jobless claims due to the coronavirus have reached 30,000,000.


Second lady Karen Pence said Thursday that Vice President Pence had been unaware of the Mayo Clinic's policy requiring all visitors to wear a face covering until after he left visiting the facility on Tuesday.


Teresa ordered a few groceries delivered and I picked them up at the porteria.


Teresa talked to Martha, Wilson’s girlfriend, and I understand she is doing well.


I watched Chapter 5 – Seize the initiative of IM Mat Kolosowski’s Attacking Masterclass video training.


Teresa and I played 3 more games of parcheesi and she won them all.  In two of them she won on the last roll of the dice.


At 6pm we got a little rain but it didn’t last long.


Per the evening news, Colombia has 4,293 cases recuperating at home, 362 hospitalized and 118 in ICUs for a total of 4,773.


Per the New York Times website, the US has more than 1,069,000 cases with over 62,000 deaths. More than 1,000 additional deaths have been announced every day since April 2.



Joke of the day

An old retired sailor puts on his old uniform and goes down to the docks for old time's sake.

He hires a prostitute, takes her up to a room and goes at it as best he can for a guy his age.

After a couple of minutes, he asks, "How am I doing?"

The prostitute replies, "Well sailor, you're doing about three knots."

"Three knots?" He asks. "What's that supposed to mean?"

She says, "You're knot hard, you're knot in and you're knot getting your money back."
