Week 11

Hello and welcome back! What a crazy week last week was with things changing day-to-day regarding this dang virus. So many plans cancelled and things up in the air about kid's at school--college and primary. Even local businesses and our jobs are trying to adjust to these drastic measures we must take to prevent the spread of disease. I hope all of you are safe. That is the most important thing. We are also trying to keep light hearted and just enjoy our time together.

Here's a peek at how last week went down:

Day 69- Monday, 3/9/20

The dog and I had a wonderful fresh-air afternoon walk.  The mustard fields around here are in full bloom--one of my favorite things about March.

Day 70- Tuesday, 3/10/20

Things with this virus are getting real.  Tyler found out today classes will start to be on-line then his spring break medical service trip to Ecuador got cancelled, but he and his roomies have this cute pup to help them keep their spirits up.  "Rocky" beat Parvo virus last month and now he'll help these boys survive Corona virus.  Back at home it was a perfect day for a Booster's fundraiser that allowed us to have dinner delivered as we processed all the new changes that were happening in our lives.

Day 71- Wednesday, 3/11/20

When the world has turned upside down sometimes you just have to take over the dogs bed and enjoy a nice long nap to process it all.  At least someone is getting some sleep.

Day 72- Thursday, 3/12/20

These new baby leaves are so green and pretty in the sunlight.  I'm glad the trees out back are sprouting leaves again.  I'm tired of looking at sticks.

Day 73- Friday, 3/13/20

TGIF!  It's super windy and cold out because a huge storm is coming in.  I missed my morning coffee so I'm having afternoon tea to warm me up.  I hit the store on the way home and the shelves are bare.  These are the items everyone is hoarding plus hand sanitizer, rice, bread, water, and canned goods. Thankfully I have what I need at home already.  Let's not all panic people.  You don't need to stockpile toilet paper of all things.  Just buy what you need for about a month so everyone can also have what they need.  Now the latest breaking news for us--Justin's college is moving to on-line instructions as well and Brandon's school is shut down for 3 or more weeks.  Plus John is super sad all pro sports are cancelled and there will no March Madness this year.

Day 74- Saturday, 3/14/20

Look who's home!  Justin made it just in time for the end of Pi Day.  We picked him up from the train station and he'll be home for a week on spring break before returning to school to do his on-line classes there.

Day 75- Sunday, 3/15/20

We've had rain the past 2 days which has made it easy to stay home and social distance like suggested.  We did go out to get Justin a haircut and stopped by the store to buy him some socks.  I also thought it might be nice to pick up a couple cans of soup but of course many shelves are still empty.  This of course is the TP aisle--why?  This is not a diarrheal disease.  There is no need to stock pile toilet paper people.  *sigh*

That's it!  See you next week as we navigate the world in a more cautious and reclusive way.
