I decided to take each day to call one friend. Phone calls have become rare with social media. People text, snapchat, email, and send FB messengers. Phone calls aren't very common, but I sure enjoy talking and hearing my friends voice. So, for the future of COVID isolation, I will stay in touch with friends. I need that social interaction and I want to use that time to uplift and be encouraging to a friend.
We had morning school and lunch. Jake went to work on his Oldsmobile with the mechanic. He was on cloud nine with excitement. By the end of the day, the whole engine was out of his car. As they worked on the car and assessed all that needed repairs, it was decided he needed of an engine. Jake was just enjoying working in the shop with "the guys", Nate and Butters.
Luke, Jayden and I worked more on the fancy house, sanding over base boards.
In the afternoon, Jayden and I did some painting. We each came up with an idea and painted our canvas. I have always found painting fun and relaxing.
March 15, was the last day that felt somewhat normal. We have been referring to that as "The day the world ended... as we know it" due to COVID 19, AKA Coronavirus. On Monday it seemed everything changed. It was recommended to social distance and no crowds larger than 10, schools would be taking weeks off instead of just Spring Break, restaurants went to carry out and drive-thru only, just to name a few changes. We knew at that point, our world would was changing all around us. Nobody knows for how long or what the future will be like, it could last for weeks or months.
This map was from March 2, 2020 with red being states in the US with Coronavirus.
Fast forward to the 19th of March, and here are the latest totals. These numbers are with the extreme measures we are taking. It is going to get worse before it gets better. The concern is for the health care system. Treating those that need it and not being overwhelmed.
