I heard this morning that the state of Virginia put a shelter in place/social distancing order in effect until June 10!!!! That is so long from now. I think its pretty drastic, but I'm also not the expert. We will just stay in our bubble and carry on. Mike went to work yesterday but is being careful. His office building is closed so they are sticking to the field. The boys haven't been anywhere except walks in the neighborhood and hiking the trails behind our house. I have been trying to stay in besides the occasional grocery store trip. I have been trying to keep those to a minimum. Today I went to Dollar Tree to get some stuff for Rowan's birthday. I was a little nervous to go and almost wore a mask, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no one else there and that the employees were all wearing masks and gloves. I still brought my wipe to wipe down the cart and things I bought. We are all going to have such clean hands after all of this.
School is going okay. Last week the teachers changed up some of the learning platforms and ways to turn in assignments, so we started over with trying to figure that out. Yesterday the boys were picking on each other, trying to stir up trouble. They also had a ton of energy and had a hard time focusing. I was snippy with them and they were snippy with each other. Today they got along better but two of them were whiny this morning anytime they weren't sure how to do something. I think they just want to do everything correctly and know everything right away. Mike was home all day today so that was nice. We have been watching Last Man on Earth at night. Maybe not the best choice during a viral pandemic, but its a funny show and is a good distraction from the news. The news is pretty grim. All case counts and death tolls, but I did hear that Italy's cases are slowing so I know there is hope for us sooner rather than later even though we have yet to reach our peak.
