We've reached another weekend. Honestly, it doesn't necessarily matter what day of the week it is, although Catherine is still working so we do need to keep track somewhat. She works full shifts today and tomorrow, and then will be off again until next weekend. I'm looking forward to having her off all week, and honestly, just kind of locking ourselves at home if possible.
Last evening, we supported a local business by ordering food in. We then watched a movie together, Jerry Maguire. The kids loved the movie, and there is nothing more I enjoy then hearing my kids laugh. They really enjoyed it overall, and my heart was so incredibly full. It was a few moments of "normal" in days that are absolutely not.
We are beginning to change how we see things. While I was happy to support our local business last night, I think in the future, that is a trip out and contact, although minimal, with people we just don't need. I will head to the grocery when we need many things, not just because we need something and then think I will just go again the next day. We need to stay home.
We make sure that we eat our leftovers before we cook something new. We think about almost everything before we throw it away. Is it something we might need to use or reuse later?
We are a week into this. We are AT LEAST two weeks, and realistically probably more like six, to go. Things are still closing down, not reopening. In some ways, it is mentally draining. Honestly, right now I am sleeping about nine hours a night, and why not? I am allowing myself to recharge myself in any way that is necessary right now. I am working on keeping my faith intact, and to doing everything I can to make things easier for our family, for our community, and for society.
