* My job is considered "essential." I'm honestly not sure how I feel about that.* I went in at 6:30 this morning and left at noon. On the way home I filled my gas tank. (Gas prices look good.) Before going home I ran into the grocery store for some coffee and a few other items.
* I have an online therapist appointment tomorrow morning. My appointment to be fingerprinted (again) for my job at the daycare, has been cancelled. Finally. I cancelled my Monday afternoon chiropractor appointment myself. Church is online,. The only reason to leave home is work.* Wading through information regarding this Corona virus is overwhelming, and necessary. I want to be smart, even if I don't want fear and anxiety to take over. Like everyone else I want to be on the other side of this nightmare.
* We took another walk this afternoon. I think that's still allowed for the time being, and it's been something that brings us together as a family. Perhaps one day we will be confined to our own back yard. I'm thankful we have one.
I'm thankful we have a backyard too. But for the time being we are still walking around our long block. People really are keeping their distance, still walking their dogs and getting their run times in.
ReplyDeleteNeighbors are still waving from a distance and my kids are calling to check on us.
Our food supplies are good and I think we can go pretty much for a month with frozen and canned goods. Staples like produce will be wilted before too long but we will survive and certainly not starve...though I think some of our meals will be slightly weird..Haha...
Scary times and trying to put my Trust in a Faithful God.
Concerned for my kids, especially my son that is a ER Nurse in Oregon. He says they are in a serious lack of proper protection. I think that means masks, gloves etc...
Between the Covid virus and all the usual ER patients and the violent people that come in through the Psyc dept. he says there is never a dull moment. The work load is very stressful. I'm glad that he is off now until Tuesday Night. A little breather at home with family is a good thing.
Other son and daughter in law's jobs have been cancelled so there is no income coming in for now.
I know I am whining comparing to all the death and suffering around the world...
But...
This is My World right now.
Stay safe and so thankful you have family around you and can do so many things on line. Technology can be a real blessing.
Keep safe, keep well, Keep Trusting
Keep us up to date on your job situation..prayers for us all.

It's an bizarre but interesting world. Curious and fragile. Every ticked or scratchy feeling in the throat, every cough, every sneeze, every headache make us wonder if we are next. We're finding new ways to connect, whether that is decals on our windows, chalk drawings in the driveway, or nods from the other side of the street as we walk. Most all of us are concerned about someone or something, and rightly so. Some days I'm sure I just walked into the book of Revelation.
DeleteThis is our world and there is nothing we can do to stop the chain of events unfolding before us, but we can still love our neighbors and trust the one who gave His very life to get us safely to the other side.
Stay safe. I love you.
Yes and amen...Perhaps we will end up a Kinder world for a while..(:0)
DeleteTake care of yourself...love you too.
I am not sure that I agree with daycares being open either. We are fully aware that children are not the healthiest humans to be around. I am glad you are working though as my daughter is not so I am truly afraid for her and her daughter. Keep well and prayers to you from the funny farm.
ReplyDeleteThe daycare being open makes some things feel normal, and yet it's bizarre at the same time. Everything is bizarre, yet God holds us.
DeletePrayers for you and yours as well.
I have been self isolating for 2 weeks now, it seems like a very long time, and at least 2 more weeks as the governor has announced. It is allowed to take walks and so I enjoy walking with my dog twice a day. Keep healthy, friend.
ReplyDeleteI am blessed to be joined in isolation by my daughter and her family, but going to work makes it feel not so very isolated, although the daycare is strangely empty.
DeleteBe safe.
