Coronavirus (COVID-19) - The virus that changed the world. Living through a pandemic is kind of crazy. Business is shut down unless it is considered essential. Grocery stores limit how much of certain items you can buy and toilet paper is the holy grail for some reason. Now stores limit how many people can enter the store at one time. You have to be at least 6 feet apart from others (except those you live with) and no visiting anyone. Schools are closed and kids are doing remote learning which is better than nothing but definitely not as good as in person. Some people still continue to visit with friends and not social distance which will, in the end, make this all last longer which is frustrating.
There are upsides to Corona though.....there are a lot of funny memes, there is no rushing to get anywhere, my kids have more time to read and play piano or create art, as a family we have been exploring the woods around our home and catching up on movie watching. It took a pandemic for us to learn we have all these amazing trails steps from our house. In all fairness, we knew there were trails. We just didn't know they were these beautiful wide trails that were easy for walking and running on. Given my dislike of ticks I had stayed out of the woods because I assumed the trails were narrow with ticks just waiting for me...hahaha. Now I make sure my clothes are treated with permethrin and I dose myself with off and go for walks and runs on those beautiful trails. Being outside is such a boost to my mental health.
We will be in this state of social distancing until at least May 4 so might as well try to enjoy the ride.
