It’s another cold, dreary, rainy day here. It was a good day to stay inside and play Dungeons and Dragons. Our group had its first session today, and after getting over some technical difficulties it went pretty well. We’re playing again two weeks.

Lori comes through for us again today.

Stay healthy and safe.

I had a scheduled follow up doctor appointment today so I got out my old N95 mask.

Hello, Apple? Face ID stopped working on my iPhone for some reason.

I was afraid that when I got to the doctor’s office it would be packed and someone would jump me and steal it. I arrived when they were reopening after lunch. I was the only patient there. The only one. I went in with my mask on. None of the staff had on masks. I figured that if they weren’t wearing ones then I didn’t need to so I started to take mine off – as they were putting theirs back on. “Oh, you only wear them when the office is open?” I thought to myself. That seems to defeat the purpose but, hey. You’re the professionals.

I had to take it off again when they took my temperature. I’m glad I strapped this prop from Alien to my face to protect myself.

(Alternate joke: I had to take it off again when they took my temperature. I don’t understand why I had to do that for them to take my temperature rectally, but hey – they’re the professionals.)

Seriously though, you’d think they’d have an ear thermometer or one of those forehead zappers.

Happy Easter to those the celebrate it. It’s been cold and rainy here today. I put a fire in the fireplace with the last of my firewood.

I’ve had a busy day on video conferences. First there was a virtual church service followed by a town hall where I presented to the congregation our plans to take out an SBA Paycheck Protection Program loan. Then I had a video chat with the players in the virtual Dungeons and Dragons game that starts next Sunday. I also made a batch of chili It’s been a busy day, but a good one.

Hope you had a good weekend. Stay healthy and safe.

The neighbors across the street are having a little get together. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

I submitted my church’s application for an SBA Paycheck Protection Program loan yesterday. Hopefully we can get approved before the $349 billion in the fund runs out.
