Things
have escalated pretty quickly with the news of this coronavirus,
COVID-19. Last Thursday, the 19th, Ricky and I went to Walmart to get
a few more necessities. It was so crowded! It was impossible to stay
6 feet away from anyone! The aisles that actually had stuff in them
always had 4-5 shoppers, so you can’t just wait until the aisle is
empty to social distance because people are everywhere. Walmart was
really stocked with water! It had so much water of all brands all
over the place! But we thought we should get a few more rolls of
toilet paper, and the toilet paper aisle was turned into an Easter
aisle! It was like the toilet paper aisle never existed! So, no
toilet paper for us. Gratefully, we have a bidet. Here are some
pictures of the empty aisles. It was scary how empty many of the
aisles were! There were like three choices of cereal, only canned
corn, and absolutely no bread, which is what we came for. Luckily, we
found some English muffins and cinnamon raisin bread in the bakery
section.
On
Thursday night when we were in Walmart, I got a text that I would not
actually be going into work the next day. The preschool I worked at
closed, effective immediately. We also heard the news that the whole
state of California was to now shelter in place, or stay at home. So,
I am now furloughed and Ricky is working at home for the most part.
It’s been an adjustment and I feel like I’m just starting to get
used to it. We’ve been going on daily walks, which allows us to
stretch our legs a little and get some fresh air. We love walking in
the canyon that is right by our neighborhood.
Also,
Ricky has been busy cracking open our macadamia nuts from our tree
and roasting them. They are DELICIOUS!!! I tried to capture it and
it's hard to see, but the birds were moving in and chirping like
crazy! All types of birds were interested by the nuts - there were
finches, pigeons, and even a hummingbird flying around, watching
Ricky, and waiting. It was so funny!
How
are you guys doing during this strange time?
