We ran out of milk today. There were also a few other things I hadn't been able to get at the grocery Monday, so I ran to the store in town today. I don't shop here for my regular shopping because it is more expensive generally, and doesn't have as much variety. I'm glad I went today though. With the exception of TP, hand sanitizer, and cleaning supplies, the store had everything you might want. On Monday, there was very little meat, very little boxed food, very little pet food. It was so calming to visit the store today that had plenty of almost everything. It was much more reassuring than the visit earlier in the week. We are still being very mindful of how/what we eat and how we use things, but I'm a little less freaked out about getting through this with supplies. The stores aren't crowded so it is easy to practice physical distancing. We wiped everything off before we brought it in the house.
I also tuned into the daily 2:00 press conference. Folks, if you don't live in Ohio you are truly missing out. Our Governor and Health Director are TOP NOTCH. They are informative, rational, and calm. I have never been more proud to be an Ohioan. They provided information that the Cleveland Clinic is now projecting the peak to be mid-May. This is good news overall in that it means we are flattening the curve, and that will save lives. That is very, very good news. The disappointing part of this is that I have a sweet girl scheduled to graduate towards the end of May. Moving the peak later, while great in terms of saving lives, is not great news for graduation. We all realize though, this is so much more important than her getting to walk across that stage. I am also confident that there WILL be something, it might just look different and it might be at a different time. Nothing official has been decided, and as I told a friend, there is nothing we can do about any of that so I refuse to obsess about it.
Not sure what our family activity will be this evening, but we will come up with something!
