I did a batch of proofreading today. A chunk of this was due back to the client by this evening, and I sent that at about 10:30 a.m., then did another piece after lunch. Copy-and-paste plus spellcheck means that I have now found and marked two places where "compromise" should be "comprise."
It was sunny and pleasant this afternoon, so![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and I tied bandannas over our noses and mouths before heading outside. The Belmont rules (which are basically the same thing that the state is requiring starting Wednesday) require a mask or other face covering when in any sort of business, or anywhere else where you might have trouble keeping a six-foot distance from other people. I figure that means I don't need a mask to take the trash out, just to look through the window and make sure our neighbors aren't on the porch or stairs before opening the door. I have also been going for un-masked walks in less congenial weather, or at times when fewer people are likely to be outside. We did in fact see a fair number of people; mostly we avoided them by crossing the street if they didn't do so first, and once I stepped into a convenient driveway to get out of a cyclist's way.
I have lots of ice cream, having had Lizzy's deliver four containers (chocolate, strawberry, black raspberry, and chocolate chocolate chip), which arrived about twenty minutes ago.
Last night I joinedcattitude in a Zoom game session with quility and a few other people. I left after about an hour of Boggle and chat, because I could feel myself getting tense even from that level of competition (nobody was keeping score); Cattitude played for I think another hour and a half, and then told the other people he'd have to leave now, because it's an hour later here than in Minnesota.
And I just remembered I meant to call my mother; the time difference means she'll be asleep by now, and there's nothing that can't wait until morning.
