It’s insane to think that two weeks ago life went on in its own hectic. We rushed about from work and back. We hit the gym, then the store.....waking up before 5 am every day to start the cycle again. The kids thankfully were on spring break, which only really meant one less stop on this crazy train.
Slowly a new virus started to push our way....I don’t think life got slower at that point. Perhaps more surreal would be a better explanation of it. We still did the things we normally did, but maybe with a bit more precaution. We wiped our machines down at the gym a bit more, we washed our hands and extra time but life went on. Then the schools announced they were closing for three weeks......ok we’ve homeschooled before we will do what we can. We awaited word of work closing, but, whether by the grace of God or bad luck work went on. The environment was odd to say the least. Everyone taking added precautions to ensure their own health. Nerves were short, tension was so thick we could cut it with a knife. Our jobs began to lay-off and thankfully, to save us financial stress, we were both considered essential employees.
So every day now we still sit and watch new cases pop up across the country. People dying, families suffering both physically, emotionally, and financially. We are left with more free time working nearly half of what I had been in a month I decided maybe it is time to start blogging again. We are told this could last through summer! So instead of being in denial it is time to start facing our new reality.
Today we will be setting up our rv for an emergency quarantine location, if heaven forbid one of us should fall ill. What are you doing during this time? How are you doing?
