We’re indoors for two, maybe three weeks. Our collective work companies have insisted we work from home, and so lockdown starts. In the midst of the stand still that is our life right now, I’m finding new things to be grateful for. There is nothing like being at home with hubby, and two besties working to live through this outbreak of Covid-19. Shopping has gotten creative. And Yes, we have learned how to make hand sanitizer!
Fear is the hardest part . There is no doubt that covid-19 is real, but the more I learn, the more I get afraid to experience it. What if I’m that person who ends up with complications? That’s the hardest part, and finding a way to manage that fear is hard work. I’m grateful for my hubby and my two best friends. We have all been a rock to each other.
I’m grateful work allows me to keep going remotely. Working at home is also an interesting experience. I’m finding myself having to block off chunks of time to work. Otherwise, I get inundated in the adventures of finding the best hand sanitizer recipe. They can be really fun and time consuming.
The best detour of late has been whether we should sanitize our ceiling fans, just in case they somehow managed to get Covid-19 up there on the ceiling! Still can’t get over that one! In case you’re wondering, yes, one of us burst out the ladder from storage and spent a good thirty minutes with sanitizer and a rug. I’m a girl, so I just got to watch these happenings and let the men do all the work. Things are being cleaned that I’ve never seen being cleaned before.
Supply runs are a thing now. There are things we needed for the house that we were unable to order in. So, we ended up planning a trip out. You can be careful as much as possible, but being out and about is sort of like being in an unseen war zone. There are so many chances to get exposed. Our supply runs include a mask, sanitizer and soap.
Plus side to this is the extra time I get with all who matter to me. Family dinner is finally actually working out, everyone is home at the same time so we get to eat together.
Chores are shared, can’t have a service coming in, so fights are a must. You know, strands of my hair on the bathroom sink counter are a pet peeve I did not know existed. And guess what, all the men in my life don’t dry dishes but keep them on the rack in a pile, to put away later, which might be tomorrow later. We had that fight too. Things are up close and personal, baby.
The upside is that I finally started on the pile of books I keep by my nightstand. Being home is like having infinite time, which is awesome.
All in all, keep safe and sound. Let’s stay inside and help lower the curve on Covid -19. My prayers are with all those who are living it.
