Corona Virus Diary Day 18

March 31, 2020

I went to the bakery today. They're still open so I felt we needed to get over there and support them while we can.
We drove up to Auburn and did a corona dinner with Heath and Cori. Lucy drew a line on their driveway. We picked up some Mexican food and sat in the driveway about 12 feet apart and chatted for a few hours. I didn't feel great because I had terrible cramps, so I opted to leave early. We could have stayed for at least another hour. It was so good to just see them face to face.

I received my Dear Heart phone case today. That made the day a bit more tolerable.
I drove by yet, another park and it was full of kids playing basketball. The governor issued an order that parks are to be closed. Nobody is really listening. Shocker.
I called Henry and we played games and chatted for a long time. It was good.
After that Brian, Alex and I played Uno for what felt like forever. I forget how much I really enjoy that game.

Today was Chester's first birthday. We watched movies, (Cold Turkey) and I made a cake for all of us. I didn't frost Chester's cake and made him a little birthday hat. I have no idea what we would do without him right now.
It was a nice day at home.

Corona Virus Diary Day 15

March 28, 2020

Brian went through a bunch of old boxes today to look for his Nintendo. I'm going to buy Chip and Dale's Rescue Ranger so I can relive a bit of my childhood.
Brian took Weds., Thurs. and Friday off because he was tired and didn't want to risk getting anything while being so run-down. He napped, then got up and made us chocolate chip pancakes and sausage for dinner.
We finished Tiger King last Friday and now we're all obsessed with it.

Corona Virus Diary Day 14

March 27, 2020

Today I made it to the Post Office to send off some wet wipes that I bought for a friend.
As I was leaving work the food donation truck was at Prichard. People were in a large group and not staying six feet apart. What's it going to take for people to listen?

Corona Virus Diary Day 13

March 26, 2020

Shocker, today the power went out for a while. I was working about the Commissioners and boom, everything was off.
I ran out by the hospital to take pics of their sidewalk entrance. People had written messages of encouragement to them.
I then tried to attend a webinar on how to sell ads right now. It was geared more towards larger papers who can afford to get people to pay $10,000 for an ad campaign. As little guys, we are so often forgotten for stuff like this.
We got some awesome feedback on the heart in our window. Chris E. posted about it and that felt really good to  be 'seen.'

Corona Virus Diary Day 12

March 25, 2020

Things at work went a little haywire. Things were said and it was a difficult day.
I taped off the area around my desk so nobody can get within six feet of me. I'm taking this extremely seriously and don't want to get Brian sick. I worry that my lungs are not good enough to handle this, but I really worry about Brian. If people want to get sick, fine. Don't get me sick though. It makes me so angry.
I attended the Richardson County Health Board Meeting today at the courthouse. It was in the District Courtroom, We all spread out and tried to stay away from each other. They discussed a lot of the same things that were said in the Commissioner meeting, but a few new things that again, made me a little leery.
I drove by the park on my way to Sunmart for milk. It was packed with kids playing basketball. What else can you do?
