Quarantine Week 9

This week has been a rough one for us.  I start work tomorrow and I really have no idea what to expect. Jon found out he has the option (possibly mandatory) to work from home thorough the end of the year (Dec 31).  He is really struggling this week and is feeling very trapped in his office downstairs. 

The kids did well with school this week and have settled into the new routine well.  We had caterpillars turn into butterflies this week which was fun.  The kids have also really gotten back into Pokémon and have been doing their own type of "Battles."

We are all trying to wrap our heads around this "new normal" and processing that this could last a very, very long time.  A few things that have become "normal" lately include.....

-Not finding toilet paper or any cleaning supplies at the grocery store or on Amazon (definitely no hand sanitizer)
-Amazon Prime is only available for essential items, other things are taking much longer to ship/arrive
-Long lines just to get into the grocery store
-Most people are wearing masks any time they leave their house
-Plexi glass has been install anywhere you must interact with people (grocery store clerks, take-out at restaurants, etc.)
-Standing markers have been placed on the floors 6 feet apart while waiting in line and store aisles are now one-way
-People are having Happy Hour, Baby Showers and even Weddings over Zoom

It truly is a crazy way of life we are currently living!!
