So… Clearly I’ve found other things with which to occupy my time… I missed a few days!
Day 49 and not much has changed, though aside from the bottle of wine on my counter. That’s new. It also may be helping me write tonight …
The kids have been playing outside more, which is absolutely fantastic! The weather is beautiful, and despite having Roblox on their computers now, they’re very excited to play outside! This is the last season for their swing set, which bummed them out pretty badly.
They added some paint to it, to really claim it as theirs, and then they swung (?) as high as they could!
I have gotten quite bored with food lately… I used to just go to the grocery store whenever I wanted, and browse until I found something I wanted to eat for dinner that night. It’s a bit harder now, since we have grocery delivery. I have to plan a bit more.
But today, I opted to try quiche… Oh boy was it worth it!
I made the crust from scratch, and then recycled some veggies from earlier in the week, and I was quite impressed by my cooking skills! It’s not the prettiest, I didn’t have a pie pan for this one, but the flavor was absolutely perfect!
I think my favorite thing about this time is how much slower things are. I really do love having the kids around (despite needing a break sometimes, too) and I absolutely love Ben being around more!
The more I think about it, the more I think that we could absolutely home school if we had the right resources. It may not be much of an option here soon … If we are going to minimize our exposure, the kids being in public school might not be the best bet.
We aren’t crazy enough to think we can avoid covid-19 forever. We just want to know that with our compromised immune systems there’s an effective treatment option, or a vaccine. We can’t, and don’t want to, hide forever. I’m just not ready to come out of my cave just yet. I’m getting pretty cozy here.
I did spend a good amount of time with my parents today. The weather was beautiful and we sat out in their front lawn. Two and a half hours later, we realized we were cold and hungry… But it was the longest we’ve seen each other in nearly three months. It was worth every goosebump!
End transmission.
