Life with COVID-19 (Week One).

Even though we have been hearing about COVID-19 for a while, it felt far away. Hardly anyone was prepared for it to hit the United States so hard. Everything escalated quickly.
For me, the first week has been full of anxiety over what is to come.
I feel terror for our economy and those who no longer have an income.
& fear for the virus itself.
We have also had major upheaval at work & it is really stressing me out!
I am ready for havoc from COVID-19 to end.
I miss structure & "normal" life.

Through this sadness and difficulty I feel so lucky that I can still work. I would be freaking out if I could not. I am so sorry for everyone who is burdened financially and those struggling with their mental health who are really hurting from being away from others. My heart is hurting for the families coming into the funeral home who cannot have their loved ones around them and hear others tell them comforting words that they desperately need. I feels impossible sometimes.

The daycare and school were ordered to close, of course. Zara has had a hard time in the evenings for some reason. Jonas has been making fresh juice. We have a had a super messy house because Zara has been playing nonstop and getting everything out. My family has been healthy except for Eleanor and her eye. I thought she had pink eye but it cleared up and she was fine. We have been decorating for Spring, ordering takeout to support local businesses and stocking up on a few more groceries than normal.

Now that the weather is improving, we have been hanging out outside and taking a few walks.
Week one down!!
