Penned in for the Duration.

Has Fiorella ever told you how much she hates being penned in?
     She knows it's for the best, that her family wants her to be safe, but it drives Fio crazy. For the next two months--maybe longer--she can't meet up with her girlfriends (not that any of them want to meet-up right now), pick up groceries in H-E-B, or look for cute dresses for Granddaughter at Target. Her life has come to a standstill--as have many other people's.
     Still--better bored than dead.

     Trying to make the best of her imprisonment, Fiorella has dipped a toe into her taxes and actually emailed information about the family ranch and her charitable donations off to her accountant.  Tomorrow, she'll work on her business returns and mileages for visits to doctors, etc. No fun, but your girl WILL prevail!

By the way, being penned in costs extra. Daughter has arranged for Fiorella to have home delivery of groceries (hello, carrots and Hershey Nuggets!) but, of course, there's an extra charge--and Fio doesn't get to flash her DUMP TRUMP button at anyone.

Oh well, maybe Fiorella can use this time to write, write, write and listen to country-western music, her new love. Her parents liked show tunes, the hit parade, and the Sunday opera, but disdained country-western as lower-class, which it is, but there's a truth in those songs that Fio is drawn to.     
    Who knows? Maybe she'll write a song like that herself someday. Okay--she'll admit it: she already has some good lyrics.
