Ok, these are weird times. Who could have guessed that the year 2020 would start off with such trepidation? I'm not a fan of winter, and every year, my mental goal is to reach March 1st, because at that point, spring is within sight. This year, oh man. Can we skip the next two months, and just get over this awful plague?!
This past week has been surreal. It started with the closings of various stores and businesses. Social distancing is the new buzz word. Stores are stripped bare of toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, bread, and pretty much anything else people can hoard. Friday afternoon saw our governor mandate a "Shelter in Place" order, allowing residents essential travel only.
As homeschoolers, our lives aren't too radically changed. School is still on for us, although the extracurriculars are cancelled for now. There won't be any trips to the library, or most anywhere, save a solo trip by me to the grocery store if necessary. We can take walks around the neighborhood, so that will have to do.
On one hand, the slower pace is nice, but once in awhile, as I scan the endless coverage of covid-19, my anxiety kicks in. Every cough or sneeze has you wondering if you're coming down with something. Lord willing, we'll be through this quickly. How are you coping?
