I like tracking events of this virus spread. I want to look back in time to see how this shelter-in-place effort took shape.
As usual, I woke up full of energy and did a number of professional tasks online. Later I made the mistake of watching the White House Briefing which always leaves me upset and leads me to writing a number of posts that criticize the inhumanity, disrespect, and lying by the Trump team while advocating for truthful, collaborative, intelligent leadership.
After that I had a terrific, colorful salad for lunch, and did a bit more school work. My college age son did some grocery shopping. At the store, he saw one of his friend's fathers who is a doctor. That doctor cautioned my son greatly about his behavior during this shutdown and told him a few stories about his friends' experience of the coronavirus in Spain. My son has been very respectful of the self-quarantine expectations and has been a dedicated online college student during this time. He also shared his cooking skills by making us a delicious dinner with garlic bread, pasta, and a bolognese sauce.
In the evening, I watched the news, did a bit more schoolwork, then started what I think will be a very good book for me.
Today I hope to put some good structure into these at-home days. While I'd like to visit my elderly parents, I think I'll give it another week just in case I'm a carrier of the illness--so far no one in my family has exhibited any symptoms, but the county where I live in Massachusetts has the most cases right now so I want to be careful.
Today's plans: time outside, schoolwork, cooking, reading, watching the news, and perhaps a movie. Onward.
