COVID 19 Day 19

4/2/20 Wednesday COVID 19 Day 20

 I woke up feeling much better today. I think going to be early helped. I was honestly worried I might be getting sick last night.

 Not much to update today.

 It sounds like people went out an panic bought at the grocery stores after the governor's announcement yesterday. I don't know if we'll be able to find more toilet paper. It is so insane.

 The pollen is still considered "extremely high" but only at 1,000 today - so nowhere near the levels it was before.

 I spent most of the work day building charts and dashboards so that was enjoyable. Unfortunately when it came time to make them pretty colors I didn't seem to have the access, so I probably won't be sharing my work. :(

 Our family has settled into a new normal, but I know Chris is having the hardest time adapting.

 Since schools will be closed through the end of the school year, he had to go up to the school to get kids' instruments out so they could come pick them. With proper social distancing of course.

 All non-essential businesses in GA are supposed to close Friday (if they weren't already). There's a pretty long list of what's considered essential though. Grocery stores and pharmacies are still open. Restaurant cans still do take out and delivery. Apparently Lowes and Home Depot are also essential.

COVID19 Day 12

COVID19 Day 12 3/26/20 Thursday Good morning, pollen is back. Over 3,000 today... I woke up this morning with a headache, and immediately was thinking, oh no, is this a covid symptom? I am trying to avoid the news. I mostly am reading sentiment from Facebook. Probably not the best place to get my info. The sentiment in Newnan, Coweta, and Fayette, is that our local government needs to step up and start a mandatory stay at home because the governor isn't doing it. I do think more people have realized that this is real, and they need to stay home. I am lucky I can work from home, and my husband is "teaching from home." I was trying to decide whether or not I should take a leave from work, but decided to just stick with the 25% pay/hour cut. Part of me felt guilty as if I would be taking advantage of the unemployment insurance if I took it, even though it seems like I would eligible in GA. My husband is definitely getting stressed trying to entertain the kids. I ...

COVID19 Day 8

Day 8 3/22/19 Sunday It's Sunday, so another "weekend" day, but again the days all kind of seem the same.  I am not full time working today, but keeping an eye on email, because working for an airline is a 24/7 thing. GA cases 555, Deaths 20  8 cases in Coweta My eye is about the same still, a little discharge this morning when I woke up, but not crusted over. I have had viral pink eye before, and it was much much worse, so I am hopeful it's just allergies. Chris started smoking a pork butt over night. It was 9 lbs(!) so we plan to freeze some of the meat. Pollen is still in full swing, the count today is 2462, but it's supposed to rain today, so hopefully that washes some away. Afternoon: The rain was hardly even measurable, maybe enough to clean the air, but not enough to wash it away. William sounded wheezy, so we did an early nebulizer treatment this afternoon, and I did't notice the wheezing afterwards. This is a terrible time for pollen...

Covid - Nov 23

I can't believe we are still in the thick of this. It's been 5 months since my last post! We are officially in the 3rd surge... the cases in GA are spiking fast. But we're not a bad as some places in the mid-west. I thought we might have turned a corner, but clearly that is not the case. School started, and Matthew went back to face to face in early September. We felt good about the numbers being low, and hadn't heard of any cases at the school. William started pre-k face to face full time in August. Both boys played baseball this fall without incident. We were able to stay distanced at the games and they were outside. Chris was teaching high school with 1/2 the kids online and half the kids in person (switching weeks), then they went to everyone back to in person, unless you elected to stay virtual. I am still working from home.  Halloween went great, again outside, some people had fancy shoots for candy, some laid it out on a table, some left the bowl out, some handed...
