COVID 19 Day 16

3/30/20 Monday COVID 19 Day 16
A new week is here. I made myself get up the morning and elliptical. Nothing crazy, but it did make me feel better about starting my day. I also think it gives me more energy during the day.

 William had his 4 year old appointment (2 shots included). We debated cancelling, but the Dr. office said they were slow, had us go straight to the room, and assured us they were being extra careful. he didn't like the shots, but I am glad it's over with. We only saw one other patient/family there. There was no one in the waiting room when we walked through.
He needs a follow up for hearing (speech therapy screening) and eye sight (they had a new electronic test to track eye movement and he "failed"). No idea if we'll be able to get to those during this pandemic.

 The pollen is still high but not as high as yesterday. Allergies are really hitting Chris hard. Of course we ran out of decongestant medicine.

 We grilled hamburgers for dinner. It was really warm today, so it just felt like a summer day with the boys being home from school. The boys were itching to play outside (despite the pollen) so they rode scooters in the driveway after dinner. Going outside seems to do us all good. 

 I hope it rains tomorrow to wash the pollen away.

COVID19 - Day 6

Day 6 - 3/20/20 Friday Things are still feeling normal, until I turn on the tv or read the news. This is messing with my mind, and I know it's not good for my mental health. William has a productive cough. I don't think he has corona virus, he doesn't have a fever. But he has a history of a cough going from fine to scary really fast, so we are doing daily nebulizer treatments already (albuterol and budesonide). I think we are official cancelling out spring break beach trip, so that's a bummer. I just don't think there's any other time we can reschedule for this year. Watching the news and reading more stories out of Italy, everything seems to be getting worse.  I did a video conference with a nurse to talk about my red-eye, conjunctivitis, or whatever it is. She thought it was allergy related (the pollen count is 1800+) and prescribed some allergy eye drops. It's about the same today as it was yesterday. Not super itchy or gunky. I got the eye drops an...

COVID 19 Day 15

3/29/20 Sunday COVID 19 Day 15 Another day in the house. The pollen count is over 8,500, so I will be staying inside for the time being. Yuck! I feel like such a bum. Laziness begets laziness, and I just didn't want to do anything. I also had a stomach ache (probably from deep dish pizza, cake, and then cinnamon rolls for breakfast).  And a headache (probably from allergies). We moved out old kitchen table up to the office to use as a desk. The old desk we had was the one I had in college, and it just wasn't ergonomic, and I was hunching over all day at my computer. Chris went to play golf with Patrick. They had to take separate carts, but I am glad he could get out and play, since he couldn't take the boys (they wouldn't let them ride in a cart together.) On the president's briefing today, he extended social distancing guidance until April 30, so we won't be going back to work or school before that. I don't think they will go back to school this ...

COVID 19 Day 14

3/28/20 Saturday COVID 19 - Day 14 Today's Chris' birthday. He ordered some deep dish pizza from Chicago and we will eat it tonight since we can't go out. Still got a cake at Publix, so that's pretty normal. We took a drive about 30 minutes away, to pick up some sod we are going to try to grow in our backyard. We stopped at Firehouse Subs on the way home to pick up sandwiches (no dining in the restaurant). It was nice to get out of the house, even if I stayed in the car. Little semblances of normal life until we are reminded that we are basically in quarantine the rest of the time. Chris also went to the grocery store (he had to pick up his cake). I was hoping he would get some yeast so I could try making some bread, but they were completely sold out! Also, no tp. We have enough for this week, but I would like to buy some when we find it. We started watching Tiger King on Netflix, it's the next show everyone is talking about, so it's nice to ha...
