Here are the pictures to prove it:
Day 97- Monday, 4/6/20
I had to walk across the med sci part of campus to pick up a package with a critical sample and wore my mask while out to do so but the only living creatures I ran into were these ducks. Masks are the latest requirements for going out.
Happy Birthday to John and Bella! We celebrated with homemade pizza for dinner during the golden hour and then enjoyed a cake Brandon and I made yesterday.
Day 99- Wednesday, 4/8/20
Sign of the times- empty creepy buildings and empty sad parks. Tupper hall where my second lab is on campus has very few windows so it's usually dark and kind of creepy anyway but even more so without people and a taped off playground is just sad, but important in these times.
Day 100- Thursday, 4/9/20
It's Brandon's official spring break week even though he's been home for the past few weeks already. Normally I'd take him to see a movie over break but that can't happen so a movie at home it is. I picked something with dogs in it because I knew he would like that and this movie was an interesting Japanese stop motion film with a lot of great dogs. What I didn't realize was it's a film about a dog flu that gets them quarantined to a deserted island to protect humans. It also involves politics with and unruly leader not listening to scientists who want to make a vaccine. LOL--almost to close to home.
Day 101- Friday, 4/10/20
TGIF! It seemed like a long week and I'm glad to be home after working longer than expected today. It's great to see the front yard bushes in bloom with pretty pink flowers--a welcoming sight driving up. After making it through another week of uncertainty and change drinks are in order so cheers to the weekend!
Day 102- Saturday, 4/11/20
I'm not done doing fun things with this kid before he starts up online classes again next week. Today we colored eggs to get ready for Easter and here is our carrot colored cat happy to help out where he can. I think he's waiting for the Easter ham to make an appearance. We also had fun with a family Zoom call involving my parents, my sister with her kids, me and all my boys from different locations. It was great to see and talk with everyone. It's probably been at least 10 years since we've all been together and able to chat at the same time.
Day 103- Sunday, 4/12/20
Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a blessed day. We are blessed with great neighbors. Our neighbor to the left helped put together an Easter Bunny drive through the streets of our citywide neighborhoods which was a lot of fun to see for all, and our neighbor on the right offered up some yeast after hearing we had been searching for 2 weeks with no luck. Easter dinner would not have been the same without these wonderful dinner rolls we traditionally have with every holiday meal. I'm thankful for such great neighbors and a wonderful community that's working together to help get us all through this.
That's it! See you next week. Continue to stay safe and sheltered.
Happy belated bday to John!
ReplyDeleteLove those ducks on their social distancing walk!
Looks like a yummy birthday for John!! It is awesome how people have helped each other out when we can't physically be together. So many good people in the world. We have seen that dog movie. It is a little too close to home! Hope he was able to enjoy his spring break and glad you were able to do a family zoom. Those are awesome! Stay safe and healthy!
ReplyDeleteThose pizzas look professional!!! That's neat that you were able to do a Zoom call with so many family members ... another positive thing that's come out of these crazy & chaotic times! :)
