Social Distancing Distraction

Just a little humor and a look at life in these crazy times!

Brent and a co-worker go periodically to an awesome liquor store.
He didn't check the pantry before he went and got more Tower Vodka...
but I think NOW we'll survive the next few weeks {months?}.

In hindsight, maybe we should have canceled book club...
but so happy I got to see the ladies.
It's always a great time, even if the book is terrible {sorry, Jen}!

We have to laugh a little, right?

Thanks Nana...or not, ha!

Buying extra food made me need to clean the pantry.
I forgot to take a Before pic, but this is about halfway.

After! Looks beautiful!
And Brent said 'It finally looks like how a pantry should look.'
{meaning he thinks I never buy enough food ha}

TRUTH

Sibling love...we are loving the time off for Spring Break...so far.

Drew's work at horseback riding Sunday was poop scooping.
She started to cry haha but rallied when I helped her.

 Hanging a picture I bought 18 months ago, yay!

And one last joke for us all...
although I was a little carb-crazy over the weekend, I'm dedicated to my plan.
Googling all the workout from home plans I can find!

Coronavirus

I'm on the fence if I'm reacting appropriately to Coronavirus. 

So far, in our county, there have been 0 cases of the virus. 

Yet everything is starting to close nationally. My company suspended international travel a few weeks ago and domestic travel yesterday. NCAA is canceling or suspending seasons, NBA, PGA, plays, school events are all being canceled.

We've had Trent and Drew home now for over 2 weeks, and I pulled Paige out of school yesterday because of several cases of {regular} flu in her classroom. So now we have spring break and hopefully no more time away from school. But I've already seen other schools deciding on 2 week spring breaks. I would love to have my kids home for 5 weeks!
I had 8 emails before 11:00 AM yesterday about Coronavirus and a 1-hour conference call. I got a little freaked out and almost lost it for a minute.


The one thing we've done to 'prepare' is buy extra groceries. No extra toilet paper, but yes, some cases of water and lots of frozen foods {pizza, lasagna, Trent's turkey burgers and chicken patties plus some fruits and veggies} and canned goods. Stocked up on spaghetti sauce and noodles, rice, dry beans. Plus we also have A LOT of deer hamburger and sausage meat and deer tamales - we could probably survive a few weeks on just our deer meat ha!

Yes, we are washing our hands a lot more - this is definitely a good thing to get in a better habit about. Yes, I'm running my essential oil diffuser more. Yes, we're taking more Vitamin D and colloidal silver and fish oil.

Am I reacting normally? Overreacting? Underreacting? I DON'T KNOW.... I think I'm going to go put another grocery order together. {grin}
