Staying In

Today starts a long road ahead - who knows how long - of home quarantine. Not because I'm sick but I don't want to get sick and possibly pass that on to others. Now originally, I wasn't that worried about going out and grabbing a beer at Shooters. I realized, however, the implications of that selfish act and chose (before the governor ordered restaurants and bars closed through at least March...except for takeout) to just hunker down.

Jim is at work. He is worried about working but upon talking to the NP and taking precautions (he has wipes with him and will stay away from others) he should be okay. He has very little contact with people in his day (usually working by himself) so I'm not too terribly worried. Plus, it's a slow time with his company and they've already given warning that they may decide to lay everyone off for the next couple weeks. We'll see. I figure, work as long as you can while you can and keep your social distance! 

With all this going on, what am I going to do? Well, I plan on getting some reading done. I have three books I'm currently reading and many on my list. I have an IEP to write (it's scheduled for April 7th but I'm not sure that will be possible) and that will take some of my time. A friend on FB posted a good online yoga site (glo.com) and of course I'll be exercising and walking with the boys and making delicious meals and hopefully not going insane. I'm going to continue to TRY not to drink during the week as well. 

Everything is just so up in the air right now. The governor has commented that we may not even get back to school this year and that seems unthinkable. Thankfully Jim and I are in a position where we'll be okay if he gets laid off...we can pay our bills but I feel so bad for those people who work in the food service industry and rely on tips and customers to pay their rent and such. Ugh! What a freakin' mess! This too shall pass though. 

Oh, Maggie, Charlie and Eva made it safe and sound to Turks and Caicos. I facetimed with them yesterday and their place looks amazing. Their trip is only for 5 days and hopefully their return will be as easy as their arrival was. 

Okay well, time to make another cup of coffee and do a little reading. I'll probably do a yoga routine in a bit and then take a nice bubble bath. Stay healthy and stay away from others if you can. Happy Monday! Later!
