Coronavirus - My life right now

Hello. Long time, no blog. :)

First, we are fine. We are safe, healthy and have food and supplies.

But this is such a strange time. Sporting events cancelled. Casinos and hotels closed. Schools closed. Libraries closed.

Today I went to two different grocery stores. They were out of:
Bread
Fresh and frozen meat
Produce (a few things left, but basically nothing)
Eggs
Milk
Flour
Beans
Canned goods
TP
Paper towels

It was hard to not feel a bit anxious over how quickly there wasn't much left. Granted, I have no idea when the regularly scheduled shipments are, or when they restock since they have cut hours. Maybe first thing in the morning is a bad time to go.

But, this morning, I also saw:
People smiling
People letting others go first in line
Birds singing
Sun shining

Kids have been disappointed as their regular activities have slowly been cancelled. But, the neighbors are out of school for 4 weeks, so they have been running around the neighborhood being kids. And that is the best.

It's an interesting life right now. But I know we (both my family and the bigger we) will get through this. Sure, there will be more hardships on the horizon, but we will get through this.

Love to all!
