Week two began exactly like week one ended...with a whimper. Yup nothing new. Nothing exciting. Happily, we are all still symptom-free! Daily life has taken on a new sort of normal and we are settled into a routine of sorts.
The boys are "back to school". This translates to they spend a few minutes reading, speaking french and doing some math each day. Their teachers have been great. Sending emails and using Facetime and Skype to check on them. Trying to keep them engaged. Are they successful? More than you would think! Boredom is a very motivating tool for teenagers apparently.
Food is the biggest obsession for us. It's strange to live within a 5-minute drive of no less than six groceries and not be able to get food. If I'm honest it's caused me a bit of anxiety. I placed an order six days ago and it is another eight days before pick up! Eight days! In three days we are able to go into the store again so we are not going to starve to death while we wait. But there is something disturbing about fearing you cannot feed your children. Even if it's not the truth. I cannot imagine the real fear that many live with daily.
The birds are a big source of enjoyment. We don't have any birdseed ( see previous entries/rants about the squirrel invasion) til Tuesday. Then the buffet line will begin again. I was never much of a bird watcher but it's calming so I think I'll continue with it. IF we can figure out a way to keep those damn squirrels at bay.
Hopefully, your life is as boring as mine is. Right now that is exactly what the entire world needs to be doing. Sitting at home. Watching too much tv. Spending too much time on social media. Having too many snacks.
Stay home. Wash your hands. Watch the birds.
