The Patter October 23

To everyone:  Stay healthy; eat well; take a walk outside if you can (while practicing proper social distancing); count your blessings; be patient with those you love and who love you; take a deep breath; pray — and laugh a little!

• Believe in yourself. If cauliflower can become pizza, you can do anything.
• To all the folks hoarding toilet paper, I went to all the stores and purchased all the plungers and Drano. Check. Mate.
• Activities at low risk for COVID-19: Walking your dog, playing with your dog, petting your dog, snuggling with your dog, asking your dog, “Who’s a good dog?” and adding a picture of your dog to your posts.
• Haven’t you often asked yourself … What did ancient Romans do without toilet paper?
• Day four of social distancing: Struck up a conversation with a spider today. Seems nice. He’s a web designer.
• I believe we as a nation are going to come together over this thing. I’ve also decided it’s time to eat pasta.
• “Where are we going, Pooh?” “Home, Piglet. We’re going home, because that’s the best thing to do right now.”
• Kinda feeling like the Earth just sent us all to our rooms to think about what we’ve done.
• Also highly contagious is kindness, patience, love, enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Don’t wait to catch it from others. Be the carrier.
• They can close the bars—but happy hour will never be canceled.
• Introverts: Check on your extroverted friends. They’re not OK.
  They have no idea how this works.
• Reminder: 9 p.m. is the time to remove your day pajamas and put your night pajamas on.
