Everyone's idea of how far to take the social distancing is very different. For example, Hy-Vee, which I have avoided, has arrows on the floor in order to keep the flow of customers apart so nobody crosses paths. This seems completely absurd. They also have dots on the floor as to where to stand, plastic shields at the checkout, and almost all employees wearing gloves and masks. On the other hand, Fareway has early morning hours for the high risk and elderly, otherwise when you shop it is as if nothing has changed. That is the environment I want to keep. Today Jayden and I went to my chiropractor. I can make an appointment without any problem, yet most medical clinics won't see patients for routine care. Then I went to Menards and bought some storage cabinets. In the store it felt pretty normal and an employee even helped me load my items and strap. If an employee works in a store all day and is around a couple hundred or more people all day, I figure my going to a store to get what I need is only exposing me to around 12 people. Do we really need to get so carried away?
Mark has been in the field for the past 3 days, that means meal runs to the field. I have never enjoyed taking meals to the field. For some reason spring is more dreaded. It is always such a challenge getting a meal to Mark for lunch while I am trying to homeschool, fix lunch, eat, do dishes, and run a meal out. Day one I cooked a stuffed chicken breast and had a knife and fork. Because Mark claimed he couldn't eat that kind of food very easy in the field, he left half of it. I was a little irritated, the next day I sent a bologna sandwich in a container. He told me that I should send it out in a plastic bag because the bread dries out. Again he ate a few bites and I had to throw it out. I think leaving the food is his way of making a point. One evening I made steaks so when he got in he could enjoy one. I broiled them over bell peppers. The steak was huge, I planned on cutting it in half and saving some along with peppers for another day. With all that is going on grocery shopping and buying meat is a challenge, I feel like steak is a delicatessen. Mark looked at the food and asked if I had any sides to go with it. I couldn't help but feel irritated. He ate all the steak, peppers, and chips. His mama spoiled him so and it makes it really challenging to prepare food. This family has never ever been deprived of food, in fact never deprived of good quality food. It would be good for the whole family if we had to ration food and eat simple. Nobody appreciates good food and I am getting a little tired of expecting and making the best all the time. My family is spoiled!
I hired a painting crew to do my garage and today they came and finished painting the garage floor. It looks very nice. I have to wait three days before driving on it. Then I can put up my cabinets and organize.
