Days 22 & 23

So much food prep going on everyday. I am unloading the dishwasher twice a day. Occasionally this is a chore left for the girls. 

On our bike ride this afternoon a notice from the city about appropriate COVID-19 behavior on the trails. So weird to see these public notices. 

This has been our nicest day yet this spring with sun and temperatures around 75. I forced everyone out for a family bike ride. 

There was a controlled prairie grass burn across the street that provided some entertainment. 

75 degrees and the kids wanted to slip and slide. 

The only way we are surviving this quarantine is because neither Scott nor I are currently working full time. Today we both had long online meetings so Will entertained himself by watching Fortnight videos on a phone while simultaneously watching them on the TV. 

I am helping the Women’s Leadership Conference produce a written summary of their 2-day conference which means I am sitting through two full days of presentations. 

My gym is doing live workouts via Zoom so yesterday I talked Scott in to joining me for a workout. 

The kids took a cooking class via zoom and learned how to make bagels. I ended up completing the second portion of the work with Charlie while Evy and Will bailed on us.

I had no clue that you boil bagels before baking them! They tasted great! 

We needed groceries in a bad way so I donned my homemade face mask and hit Aldi, Costco, Hy-Vee and Target drive up. Took me 3 hours but we are well stocked for awhile. The entire experience was surreal. I chose not to take my purse because I wanted to chance getting the least number of things contaminated as possible. I just put my keys and credit card in my pockets. All of the stores have modified processes to keep 6’ between customers and to protect their employees. It’s hard to share friendly smiles or conversation while wearing a mask which was odd. After each store I used hand sanitizer and wiped my car interior down with sanitizing wipes. Toilet paper was back in stock at Costco but still no Clorox wipes, hand soap or children’s Tylenol available.
