We turned our clocks ahead last month and it seemed like going into daylight saving time and the twilight zone both at the same time.

We are now quite a few weeks into the quarantine from the coronavirus. During this pandemic the officials have asked us to stay calm, stay home and stay safe.

The “rona” as my family refers to it has changed all our lives. Thank goodness we have FaceTime, Facebook Messenger and Skype or Google Hangout to stay in touch with those we love till we can be together in person.

One of the many things I am thankful for is that my husband and I still share our sense of humor during these trying times.

Laughing is a good thing. Laughter, humor and joy are an important part of life. It lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones. It increases the circulation of antibodies in the bloodstream which helps to fight infections.

A friend recently sent this to me by email. Here is hoping it brings a chuckle to you.

COVID-19 Diary

Day 1 - I can do this! Got enough food and wine to last a month.

Day 2 - Opening my eighth bottle of wine. I hear wine supplies might not last!

Day 3 - Strawberries. Some have 210 seeds, some have 235 seeds. Who knew?

Day 5 - Today I tried to make hand sanitizer and it came out as Jell-O shots.

Day 6 - I get to take the garbage out today. I am so excited I don’t know what to wear.

Day 7 - Laughing way too much at my own jokes!!!

Day 8 - Went to a new restaurant called “the kitchen.” You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meals. I don’t know how this place is still in business.

Day 9 - I put liquor bottles in every room. Tonight, I am going to get dressed and go bar hopping.

Day 10 - Struck up a conversation with a spider today. Seems nice. He’s a Web designer.

Day 11 - Isolation is hard. I swear my fridge just said, “what the hell do you want now?”

Day 12 - I realized why dogs get so excited about something moving outside, going for walks or car rides. I think I just barked at a squirrel.

Day 13 - If you keep a glass of wine in each hand you can’t accidentally touch your face.

Day 14 - Watched the birds fight over a worm. The cardinals lead the blue jays 3-1.

Day 15 - Anyone else feel like they they’ve cooked dinner about 395 times this month?

Day 16 - This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her. I came into my house, told my dog … we laughed a lot.

Day 17 - Today I remembered how I used to spin the toilet paper like I was on “Wheel of Fortune.” Now I turn it like I am cracking a safe.

Keep a good sense of humor, and remember this too will pass.
