This morning the maintenance man came to our house and switched from the gas heater to the swamp cooler. Finally!! I requested this on March 7^th. It took them one month to answer my request. I was almost impatient as it has been very hot these days. I am happy now to have the cooler back on.

There has been a rumor that covid-19 will calm down as we have warmer season comes up. But nowadays several news sources denied the rumor. Since this virus is new to humans, and it has been evolving, nobody can confirm it will die down just like a normal flu.

We still have hope. We have super-hot temperature in our summer in Arizona. I really hope this hot temperature will kill all the germs and the viruses and we will get back to our peaceful days.

In the middle of this hectic duration, I wanted to feel good about the current situation. With the intention, I searched some good news about Covid-19.

After my research regarding the current global horoscope, I learned some unique astrological events. The major event of this year is the Saturn’s journey from Capricorn to Aquarius. Saturn has left Capricorn on December 2019 and proceed to Aquarius until March 22^nd 2020. From here to July 1^st for little over three months, Saturn will retrograde back to Capricorn, then back to proceed again to Aquarius. On December 22^nd 2020, Saturn will finally set in Aquarius.

Since Saturn influences the society, during this transition, we will encounter some drastic changes in our society. Influenced by Capricorn, our society was hard, heavy like dull stone, hierarchical, old traditional, working with groups, structural, and limited by boundaries. On the other hand, Aquarius will influence our society totally different ways from Capricorn. It will be flexible, no boundaries, working as an individual, focusing on humanitarianism, fairness, and no-discrimination between races or skin colors.  

Some horoscope readers say Covid-19 will get its peak on April 10^th and gradually goes down around May 14^th. Then it goes back again in June. During this transition term we will encounter some phrases like “getting better” and “going back.”

We are for sure in the midst of the transition. The transition is always hard for everybody. However, after we go through this tough transition term, we will be embraced by the upcoming new stage. The new stage should be much more evolved one. We will love the new evolved stage.

At night I called my dad. He was happy to hear my voice. He said he feels lonely especially at night staying alone in the house where my late mom was always with him. I understand how lonely he is. I feel sorry that I cannot visit him sooner.

I wanted to have a conversation with my dad for just fun. I wanted to end our conversation with happy feeling.

However, my dad started complaining about my late mom. He still believes my mom passed away because she refused the chemotherapy treatment. We had this conversation many times while my mom was alive. I told my dad that since it was my mom’s life, she had the right to decide on the medical treatment for her body. After my mom had the chemotherapy treatment twice, she decided not to have it anymore. She wanted to value her QOL (quality of life) for her remainder life. That was why she chose to stay home peacefully and depart to the spirit world on her own bed in her house, instead of talking the chemotherapy and die on the hospital bed. I respect my mom’s decision and I am happy for my mom to be able to depart on the bed in her house without having agonies. I started feeling irritated to my dad for his not being able to be happy for my mom. He is still stack at the same place where he keeps blaming my mom to depart before him.

I didn’t want to argue with my dad, so I tried to finish the conversation with him. My dad didn’t allow me hang up the phone. He started talking about the inheritance from my late mom.

Then again, I started feeling irritated by what my dad said. He changes his mind every time when I talk to him. At our first conversation, he said he wants to inherit all of my mom’s inheritance without sharing it with my brother and me. At our second conversation however, my dad didn’t remember what he said on our previous conversation. He said he would share it with three of us. Then at our third conversation of today, he went back to the original state. He insisted he should receive all of inheritance from my mom. Whatever I explained him about the inheritance law that all the lawful heirs need to agree on Agreement on Division of Inheritance, he didn’t listen to me. He doesn’t believe me that he cannot decide everything secretively by law.

While I was talking with him, I thought I should end this conversation. He would not listen to me anyway. I hope his accountant will explain him so that we will go through this paper procedure without any issues. I am not feeling comfortable talking with my dad. I should take time on this process. And my family should get a professional person’s support for this instead of dealing with this all by ourselves.

I went to the grocery store in the early morning. While I was approaching to the entrance door, I saw many customers inside the store, but the entrance door was closed. I went to the other side of the entrance door, which is the main door. There were around 30 people with a shopping cart waiting in front of the door. I saw a sign saying their senior hour from 6 to 7 a.m. The people who came behind me had white hair could go into the store. The store worker did not request elders their age. All of them had white hair. I thought to myself, if my hair was covered by white hair, the store worker might have me go through the door. I am glad I don’t have much white hair in my head yet.

All the other younger generation customers had to wait at the door. I needed to wait for 20 minutes until their special senior hour ended.

When I entered the store, there were a whole bunch of old people shopping. It was very hard for everybody to move around inside the store. I saw many empty shelves here and there. I also saw customers with full of shopping cars waiting in long waiting-lines for cashiers.

All of a sudden, a gasp of sadness came into me. I got emotional and almost burst into tears. Maybe I sensed other people’s sad feeling. It is sad to see something like this in all the stores.

I woke up at 3:23 a.m. I heard an owl’s hooting in our neighborhood. I considered this owl’s visit as a good message. An owl is a wise one who calmly observes things and always be alert. I also felt the owl came to convey a message to us that we are always protected by our family spirits.

From today the school changed the food delivery time to late morning. It used to arrive to our local bus stop at 8:50 a.m., but from today, it arrives at 11:00 a.m. Their main reason to change the delivery time is to try to reach many students. Some students complained the previous time was too early for them. They overslept and missed to grab the food packet. It was hard for me to believe that. If so, I feel sorry for the kids for not having been able to get up in the morning regularly.

The coronavirus situation has gotten more serious than before.

Arizona State issued a Stay-at-home order to Arizona residents until April 30^th. This order will go into effect tomorrow Tuesday at 5 p.m. The local police department confirmed we can still go walk for exercise. It is not that strict as that of some countries of Europe where they need a certificate to go outside, even if it’s for a bike ride or a walk.

As of today, president trump extended social distancing guidelines to April 30^th. One of the article says it could possibly extend to June.

With his announcement, our area’s authority has decided to extend the school closure through the remainder of the school year. So, students won’t be able to go to school until the next school year of August.

It is sad for students that they cannot go to school in this school year anymore, but this will make our community stay healthy.

My personal update. My period came this morning as scheduled. I am thankful for that.

Thinking back of last year, after I heard about the shocking news of my parents, they both got a cancer, my period started coming irregular. Now that my period started calming down. This year for three months so far, it came regularly.

It was a windy day. The wind got much stronger in the night. As the strong wind blew, the roof shingles started making loud noise banging the roof. It sounded as if a giant monster was jumping on the roof.

I almost said some complains about the old roof shingles. But my daughter saved me for doing so. Instead of complaining, she started saying all the nice things to our house and the roof shingles.

She said “thank you to our house for protecting us. Thanks to your protection, we are staying safe inside the house in this strong windy night. Thank you for everything.”

I was impressed at how my daughter interpreted at the same scenery. I also thanked my daughter to teach me in such a beautiful way.

I joined my daughter and started saying a good prayer to our house.

Indeed, thanks to our house, we are safe inside the house in this strong windy day.

As of today, our county has confirmed three covid-19 patients. The authority announces the first two patients are self-isolating and recovering at home. They investigated the last patient’s contact and confirmed there are no threat in the community found.

I talked with several local people this morning. The 5-6 people shared their positive thoughts with me. They believe we are doing pretty well, and the situation will cleared up within 2-3 weeks.

It was good to know there are many positive thinking people in our community.

My daughter’s school supports their students by giving them weekly study assignments. It was a good intention. However, they have been struggling the best way to provide the assignments to each student.

The school originally planned to provide a printed out packet to each student. Originally our state’s school closure was planned only one week. However, considering other states’ conditions, our state decided to extend two more weeks’ school closure. Then, the school decided to preserve their paper resource in case they need to extend much more days of closure. Thus, they decided to provide the assignment through online page.

Now, it created a new issue. Every process was new to the teachers. Some teachers are really bad in writing in an online page. Their assignment instructions are hard to understand, even for us, adults.

After I communicated with the assistant principal, they agreed to provide my daughter a paper packet of assignments.

This morning on Thursday, we finally received a paper packet. It is definitely helpful for my daughter.

I feel sorry for other parents who are still struggling with the online assignments. It seems the school gives away the paper packet only to the people who communicated with their teachers.

I heard several parents complaining about the online assignments. I suggested them to talk to the school so that they can provide the paper packet.

This morning I had two dreams.

The first dream was about a huge giraffe. The giraffe was standing in front of me. It seemed to me that I received some spiritual gifts from the giraffe. I felt good about the existence.

I consider this as a messages regarding the coronavirus. A giraffe has a tall neck supporting its face up high. I won’t get affected as I stay in a higher place than others.

The second dream was about a big feast at a barbeque restaurant. I was with my family and my friends’ family. The six of us were sitting at the same table at the restaurant. Two waitresses brought us two huge plates of piled up meats. We were about to roast the meats. It had plenty of amount for everybody. We were all happy about it.

I consider this as a message about the inheritance from my late mom. It is enough for everybody, in the real life case, my dad, brother, myself. We should be all happy to have our own share.

In the evening we had a surprise visitor to our house. One of my friends brought a pack of toilet paper. She said she has enough, and her friend who works for the grocery store could buy new pack for me. I didn’t expect their help, and it was a very nice surprise. Thank you ladies for supporting us.
