Today felt like everything was starting to gel into the new normal for how the rest of these days would be going. I think that we will need to take a break from school work the next couple of days, and perhaps a couple days into our “Spring Break” time.
We pretty much followed our schedule that we’ve been following for the previous few days. No one left the house today except for a short walk around the block after lunch. Still got a lot accomplished but starting to feel the “blahs” set in. With nothing to really look forward to and now where to go, it can be really depressing to just get some work done at home. It’s not like I don’t have a lot to do, it’s just that the work is mainly maintenance.
The kids have some structure, but they probably need a little more. They are just wandering from one thing to another and spending a lot of time in front of screens. Tomorrow, we’re going to focus on getting the house cleaned and organized for our next week off. The problem is that even though it wasn’t raining today, it was really cold which meant we couldn’t go out much.
I think we’ve also decided that we really need to stay away from others and just stay quarantined for a few days, may be a week. Our neighbors work in the local hospitals and we’re a little worried that they or their kids could be bringing something home. It was good to hear yesterday that our other neighbor who passed away was immediately quarantined when they returned home from their trip where they had picked up COVID-19. We were a little worried that perhaps they had be out, going to the store, Starbucks, the gas station, etc., but it sounds like they were kept isolated. Still it’s a little scary when its so close.
