Well we haven’t lost our minds yet. So far, the days seem to go by strangely fast yet slowly at the same time. What I mean by that is that the day seems to drag on forever but then suddenly it’s way past “bed time” and the day is over.

We have finally mastered the art of ordering supplies through Instacart and grocery store delivery. Tedious at first but getting the hang of it. Kinda cool that you can get wine delivered to the house. It’s been quite useful with Uber Eats also. So, eating and being entertained with movies and tv shows has been the norm.

We have set a plan to Spring Clean a different room in the house every day. That means moving, removing the furniture and sweeping, dusting and mopping the floor and cleaning every surface. At least when this is over, we will have a really clean house.

We have our daily walk up to 3 1/2 miles now – Peg has been much more faithful to this than I. It’s odd to walk the beautiful Greenway and see so few other humans. Quite peaceful.

We did have the coolest biproduct of this whole horrible ordeal. Our daughters, being well versed in Zoom videoconferencing had us sign up. The other night we had a family videoconference (at wine o’clock). So wonderful to see all the family adults together on the screen at the same time. It was like we were all sitting around the dining room table enjoying conversations and drinking wine. We will do this more often to give us a sense of family in the absence of real gatherings.

In another source of a daughter’s ingenuity, Peg had a teaching moment with the two grandkids in NY. We set up a Face Time classroom where grandma had a lesson and story time which was really fun. The kids seemed to enjoy the brief “classroom”. I know Grandma did.

We will continue to stay isolated as long as it is prudent.
