Or maybe we're all just tired of starring at four walls or a few more if your lucky. Just sayin?!

I was a hermit even before it became trendy, but must admit I have taken hermitdom to new heights. Would like to go and visit my grandkids and kids in Little Rock, but feel certain they have not been nearly as scrupulous as myself about isolation and so would be rolling the dice. So strange how our world has changed. Close to this time last year, my son and I went to Vegas. Haven't missed going to Vegas at least once a year in the last 30+ years, but there are worse things than not going to Vegas so just have to think of new ways to entertain myself. I was so desperate for something to do yesterday, I actually did some work around my place. It's getting pretty bad, when you don't even have an excuse for further procrastination.

Tho I would not refer to myself as HERMIT...

My usual lifestyle before the pandemic was pretty much “LONER”
Preferring the company of animals to most Humans!

I have five human friends none of whom live nearby
And are busy with their own lives and activities

Mostly I share my life with

AshAvAri My Black Smoke Persian Cat
QrFuffl My Pomeranian
Layla My Horse

My groceries are delivered to my front door
I live in an area with foot paths that lead to a lake and a park

So there is no where that I NEED to go except to the Ranch to see Layla

The quarantine really has not affected my life
But my heart hurts for those who it has affected so tragically

That is a great life Ruffian that many would give their right or left or both arms for. Your love for all animals and your horses is perfect and it keeps you whole and gives you peace. You may not know it or believe it but many here probably envy you. Don't ever change, you are truly and uniquely one of a kind and that'a a good thing!!!

Monomoy Girl coming back in Race 4 at Churchill on Saturday. All the races except that one and one other have overflowing fields. I guess that makes sense with horses converging on Churchill from Louisiana, Arkansas and other places. Probably makes sense that the race she is in has fewer contenders too, if she comes back running like she has before.

Looks like LA County is going to extend stay at home orders until July. Not sure they'll be racing anytime soon.
