A month ago today was the first day of all of the coronavirus quarantine thing. Although a month ago, we really didn't know what we know now. Andrew went to work, and we actually got together with some friends (although I will point out there were only seven of us). We just didn't know the seriousness of all of it or what we really needed to be doing. I think we all thought by the end of April, at the latest, life would be back to normal.
Then of course, the restaurants and bars were closed...and that was just the beginning. We really understand now the seriousness of everything, and that contact with other humans at this point is borderline dangerous. We understand that staying home is the best thing to do.
We are beginning to understand that anything resembling a true normal may not happen again until July...and maybe not even then. It's a little hard to swallow as it is only the middle of April, but we will do what we need to do. I am hoping though, that we will feel it is safe to visit my grandmother and my in-laws long before that.
I honestly have to say I have enjoyed these days with my family. I have enjoyed sleeping in and I have enjoyed our family dinners together. We get to do that every day. I have enjoyed our board games and card games. I have enjoyed watching movies and family walks. I am grateful that although my income is gone, Andrew is still getting paid so we will be fine. I have hope that this only brings our family closer together!
