Covid 19 Day...??
6/25/20
We are at least 100 days into this...
So work got CRAZY and the journal just did not happen. I am writing this to try to memorialize ALL that's been going on.
For the second half of April I was working 60+ hours a week (from home.)
Meanwhile everything was shut down and I am not sure if I even went out in public. The most our family ventured out was to the grocery store.
I also wasn't as connected with the news, and the daily briefings slowed down. The overall numbers in GA stayed pretty low, especially in Coweta county. More people are wearing masks, and some stores, like Costco, require it, but there's a lot of people who don't wear masks. As the numbers slowed down, I think a lot of people began feeling comfortable that this really wouldn't be bad.
This week, the numbers across a lot of states have gone up. GA has had 3 of our highest new case days this week. I think the rates of infection is scarier than in the first wave. I hope now that we've had some time to prepare and gather PPE, we are ok from a hospital standpoint.
I think there are still shortages of cleaning supplies, like clorox wipes.
We still celebrated all of our birthdays at home with no parties. We did take a trip to Marietta for some outside distanced family time with the Grandparents for Matthew's birthday. Thank goodness for online purchasing and order pickup for Matthew's birthday presents. My parents also came to our house for my birthday.
The boys have discovered several lego tv shows, and the lego city video game - they are obsessed.
At the end of May, we went to Hilton Head with my parents. The beach was a great place to remain socially distanced. We felt like we were on a vacation from everything.
Meanwhile, the US was in a lot of turmoil. The publicity from the murders of several black individuals at the hands of police, and the case of Ahmaud Arbery in GA pushed everything to the brink and there were protests happening every day in almost every city. I felt guilty going on vacation during all of this.
We still don't know what school will look like in the fall. At home online, or in person at the school?
Chris is proceeding with band as if the regular band season will happen.
I have been working from home - with no date to return to the office yet.
I have really enjoyed having the time at home. I have gotten in the habit of waking up early to have a quiet morning, and even working out or going on a walk early in the morning. I love having time to slow down in the morning, compared to our previous rushing out the door.
