Covid-19 has impacted our daily life. School is closed, so we are making a daily list of homeschool activities to keep the Peanut engaged and in a school state of mind. She loves Soduku and is having fun with the crosswords. Spelling continues to be a struggle.
J's employer made the decision that they too can work from home when special circumstances are present. The closing of school was the ticket for him to be allowed to do something that he has been able to successfully do for the last few years. Sometimes it's management that needs to change.
For me, I've been working at home for the last 11 years, so the real disruption is all these people in the house 24/7. I have always loved my quiet alone time, so this is truly an adjustment.
Thankfully, the weather has been spectacular for the last 5 days, so we have been able to get out and go to the park, get some vitamin D in the chilly sunshine.
I feel for the mom's in the neighborhood with younger kids. Keeping the littles busy for days and days on end can be exhausting. L is at the age where she can entertain herself, and reach out via facetime to hang with friends who we can't see in person. She has one friend that they facetime and then login to a game called Roblox and they play together in that virtual world. Thank goodness for out high volume Internet. L isn't able to play or talk with strangers online, and I hope to leave it that way for the next 200 years.
Emotionally, this is rough. The news is scary, and staying off social media is critical to not getting so much information that it feels like the virus is knocking on our door (but, honestly isn't it?)
We are lucky in that the closure of restaurants and other venus only impacts us as an inconvenience, rather than our livelihood. It's hard to know how to help folks that are impacted.
