Whelp, the world has gone certifiably crazy. Really fast, too. A few months back some new virus started up in China and then jumped right on over to Seattle. It's called Coronoavirus (and yes, the Corona beer people are LOVING the association, not!) or techincally Covid-19, No big deal, right. It's like the flu. Only, turns out, it's not so much. It has a higher kill rate, higher infection rate, mainly targets the immunocompromised and elderly and on and on. So, when cases skyrocketed in Seattle and a whole bunch of nursing home residents died our country went 100% full scale beserk.
On the 16th of March, school was offically suspended for ???. Honestly, we have no idea. Right now until the end of April but realistically probably we are done for the year. Which means Mr. Clark won't get to see his buddies again or finish his Kindergarten year. It's seriously feeling so surreal. All church meetings, sacrament, etc. have been cancelled. We can't even get into the building which means no workout group, no relief society. All gyms, pools, rec centers and the bounce house have been cancelled. We now are mandated to do something called "social distancing" which means staying more than 6 feet away from everyone except immediate family. It's so bizarre to see a friend and have to stop 6 feet away to talk. No handshakes. No hugs.
So....what did we do this strange week, just me and the kids at home?
We slept in. And took naps. And got very, very lazy on the couch.
The weather actually was fantastic for the middle of March so we went to the park A LOT! We were able to meet up with some friends two of the days and that helped with the isolation.
We workout most mornings to stay sane and Charlotte thinks my workout headband is very punk 80s.
And we went for a hike up Konnowack with Dad. Well, some of us hiked. Some of us are seriously lazy lately and got Dad to carry us.
Yes, folks, it has been a weird week. But, hey, as long as the good weather and parks survive, we can make it!
