Becky Sue Has Back

Even though I took a couple of days off this week because of unseasonably cold weather, I made a lot of progress on Becky Sue and completed half of her back. Check it out.

My goal is to finish the other half of her back next week. If all goes as planned, I’ll be starting her gams before May arrives. Pretty neat, if I do say so myself.

Coronavirus Humor

Life in the time of coronavirus is pretty much the same for Mrs. Groovy and me. We’re basically doing everything we did before the coronavirus hit our shores, save the socializing with family and friends. I guess you can chalk this up to being financially independent and living in the country.

But even though the coronavirus has left us relatively unscathed, it has nonetheless messed up Mrs. Groovy’s sangfroid. She’s far more apprehensive and far more rash than normal. Here are two examples.

Apprehensive Mrs. Groovy

We have enough toilet paper to clean the bums of an elephant herd, but Mrs. Groovy is still scouring the internet for more. And she’s scooping up any one-ply product she finds. Here’s her latest coup.

Yep, that’s camping toilet paper—from Coronaville (i.e., China), no less.

Rash Mrs. Groovy

With schools being closed, Mrs. Groovy and I do our daily constitutional at a nearby elementary school.

Earlier this week, the billboard in front of the school had a new message. Check it out.

Now, pre-coronavirus Mrs. Groovy would have ignored the new billboard message. But she’s a little on edge now and her reaction to it was priceless:

“Who the hell is the Ebes (pronounced E-bess) family? And what happened to them? Did they move? Are they dead? There’s only one coronavirus death in our county. How can a whole family be dead?”

I couldn’t help but bust out laughing.

“Why are you laughing?” Mrs. Groovy cried.

“Steady, girl,” I replied. “E…B…E…S. The Edward Best Elementary School. The billboard’s referring to the Edward Best Elementary School family.”

Final Thoughts

Okay, groovy freedomist, that’s all I got. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Peace.
