How was everyone’s weekend? Does it feel any different than every other day of the week? 

Weekend was good, quiet. H cut a part a pine tree that fell in the yard. I took naps and went for runs. 

I have an apt with my Dr today, which will be the first time I’ve driven a car in weeks. I’m slightly unnerved about going into the building (attached to a hospital) but they are still seeing patients in person so I’m going to go while I can.

    Wow! Great job Banana! How did you do it?
    Good luck at the Dr, Charlotte.

    Tbh, I was shocked when DH got a reminder call for an appointment and I learned the weekend was over. I have no idea what day it is any more.

    I can't wait to get back to my normal routine aka DH going to work every day, I need some alone time For Real.

    It still feels different for me. We're both still working full time, so the weekend is still a break. We did end up going to Home Depot Saturday. We wound up ordering online and doing curbside pick up. We did still have to get out and load the truck, but it felt a lot less risky than being inside the store with a million people. I wanted to do delivery, but I didn't think our yard could wait another week.

    We did manage to do the lawn and blow off the driveway/porches. Of course the driveway is already covered in tree spores again, but it was nice while it lasted. Other than that, we played outside with the puppy, went for walks, and drank on the porch. 

    I talked to my mom for a while yesterday. She wants us to come over for Easter. I'm so torn. My sister and family are going, but mom is helping her with childcare so they're all exposed to each other anyway. I feel like it's such an unnecessary risk, but I think I'll never hear the end of it if I don't go, and I miss people. Is anyone else risking it for family easter?

    Painter's tape for all the clear areas.   Then I used washable white paint for the cross mixed with a tiny bit of water and Dawn.

    The rest of the colors were water colors mixed with the white paint and Dawn and painted in a couple coats.   I wanted regular washable paint but went with what I could get delivered and improvised.   The kids behaved and took turns doing it.   I dig the results.

    @MyNameIsNot my family isn't getting together for Easter.  It's tempting but just too risky. 
    @banana468 it's beautiful!  (Is it wrong that I lazed on the couch for the crazy-long Gospel yesterday?  The only upside of mass from home..)
    @charlotte989875 good luck at the doctor.  If your office is taking all the precautions I think it's good to go.
    The weekends 100% feel different than weekdays!  Between my web sessions with my students and my three kids' web sessions + homework...yeah, Sat and Sun are a nice break.
    One of my H's closest friends (he was actually a groomsman in our wedding) tested positive for the virus on Saturday.  He says he's feeling decent but it's still scary to keep hearing about people infected.

    I've had to double up on my Zyrtec, since the magical combination of oak pollen and mold is killing me.  It's making me sleepy, even with coffee.  I'm not quite sure how my brain is going to keep going.

    I called into work on Friday, b/c between allergies and anxiety, I'd had enough.  I did have to go to the grocery store on Saturday.  I had a realization about my anxiety that kind of slapped me around pretty hard, but I got through it and I think it's helping me now, overall.  My employer has just gone to a split shift, finally.  So, half the office, every other day.  Hopefully, this is a step into working from home.

    Other than that, we stayed home all weekend.  I'm really struggling to stay in the moment and present for K.  My normal MO would be to kind of shut down and just push through, but that doesn't really work for our relationship.  And really, it's not mentally healthy, especially for something like this that could be long term.  Sometimes, I super hate being human.

    @ei34 I did NOT engage in the kneeling or standing when we watched mass.   It felt both odd to do it and not to do it.  I also watched in jammies.   But we watched on time and the church broadcasting is the one where we were married and it felt special. 

    @MyNameIsNot I feel like I wouldn't risk it.   My ILs are in town and are coming here at noon to stand in the grass and wish me a happy birthday from many feet away.   We haven't engaged in the idea of getting together with them but if there was any people I would consider it is them because DH has gone there one or two times and brought food.   In a family Zoom call Friday we found out that one of DH's cousins may have Covid 19 and she's only left to go to the store.   It seems really scary if your sister is also working out of the house to do this.   

    Could you Zoom Easter?  I'm thinking of trying to put that together for my family so we can get ourselves connected from coast to coast.

    Nope. I’d really love to see my family but that is not social distancing and it is dangerous.

    @charlotte989875, the weekends are still the weekends for me and a chance to relax, lol.  Where I work, just because people are working from home, doesn't mean their schedule is more flexible.  The vibe is that, since they don't trust us to work from home, we are being a little extra micromanaged.  Normally, in the office, we're not.

    There are definitely perks to WFH.  But, ironically, my work has been even more stressful because it takes me longer to do everything and I also feel like I need to immediately reply back to people, especially higher-ups.  Lest they think I'm not in front of my computer and working, smh.

    So I still look forward to 5:00PM and I still look forward to Fri., lol.  When I can close my "remote access" and stop glancing at my "work chat" every 30 seconds!

    @ei34, I hope your all's friend only has a mild version and stays feeling decent!

    I need to make a list of things to get done and things that are coming up.  Many of the items on that list involve me having to talk to businesses on banking, property insurance, and travel matters.  I've been trying to "wait" until things settle down a bit, so I can avoid the first "wave".  But I don't see that happening anytime soon and these important "loose ends" are causing me extra stress on top of all the other general stress.

    We’re not, with the pregnancy and given that everyone has had to be out for groceries in their own communities I’m not willing to risk it. My mom will be disappointed but she understands. It’s easier to blame it on pregnancy and not taking risks, though.

    @MyNameIsNot I agree with PP's that I wouldn't risk it.  Even if it seems low risk to you guys, if everyone does a few things that like that *seem* low risk, that's how this thing keeps spreading. 

    I had to listen to MIL complain yesterday about her mom and MIL who "just aren't getting" this whole virus thing.  I'm surprised my eyes are back in the front of my head this morning I rolled them so hard. 

    I miss my family a lot and definitely did not realize how much help we were getting with the babe until we haven't been able to see anyone for a few weeks.  I think H and I are definitely each in need of some alone time.  

    Weekend was good though - lots of naps and walks and cleaning the house!  I also did a huge grocery run and hopefully wont' have to again before the end of the month.   We didn't get to the furniture yet, but it's our goal for this week to have it cleaned and in the house (we need to sand/stain/lacquer the tops, but we don't have the stuff and it's not essential enough for a hardware store run).

    Saturday I braved Costco. They had special hours for healthcare workers so I was able to get in around 7:30. Luckily they still had toilet paper and paper towels. And eggs! Then I came home, did a small workout on the elliptical and then FI and I just had a nice time together the rest of the day. We had margaritas and even managed to have a dance party, ha. 

    Sunday we went to Stater Bros to finish all of the shopping needed for the next few weeks. So now we’re stuck with whatever we have left in the house. Which is pretty comprehensive, but after this week we’ll be lacking in fresh vegetables. Oh well. Gaining back a few pounds is the least worrisome thing right now. I was able to do a really good workout on Sunday. My back/hip is finally feeling close to normal. I think using the TENS unit really helped it. 

    @charlotte989875 when you go perhaps you should ask your doctor if there’s anything you should do to prepare for the possibility that they might not be able to do future visits. I know your area has been hit super hard. Definitely doesn’t hurt to ask since I’m sure they’re already thinking about multiple scenarios. Good vibes to you today.

    Thank you!! That’s really helpful. It seems crazy to think about remote visits/ not meeting my doctor in person until who knows when but I think that’s the reality. We haven’t been hit as hard as downstate but we are seeing significant increases in cases, but only people with significant symptoms (or emergency/health care personnel) are currently being tested so who knows the real numbers. 

    I’ve tried calling the office twice this morning and the line has been busy consistently. I’m sure everyone with appointments is asking the same thing in addition to people calling about other issues.

    My weekend was probably similar to most other people's - stay at home, watch videos, play online games, surf the Web, read books, etc.

    Back at work-at-home now. It still feels weird but is starting to feel normal, sadly.

    @charlotte989875, good luck with your doctor appointment.

    Idk why but it's been a pretty crazy few days. I didn't work Friday, but BabyKitten was home.
    She's home again this week as our daycare provider's husband may be sick. Unsure but not taking chances.
    Just sucks as this isn't easy, but our company gave us the 4 day weekend for Easter.

    We talked to the bank about pre-approval {housing market here is still good} and we have our eye on one house.
    Are we going to get it? Likely not but we'll see.
    We're in the process of decluttering still and won't be ready to show for at least a month.

    It's really nice out, so M and BabyKitten may eat outside while I keep working.

    Weekend was busy - oddly enough. We went for a walk Saturday since it was so nice, and trying to social distance a toddler is hard a.f lmao

    Same old same old this weekend. We carried out pizza and salad Friday night. Saturday night I had a Zoom cocktail hour with college friends. It lasted for 3 hours! Cleaned the first floor. Yesterday did my Italian homework. DS2 had a job interview (video) today at noon. When he's done he's coming home for two weeks at least. He hasn't been out of his apartment for two weeks and is really missing human contact. He's only 2 hours away so he can make it here without stopping. 

    This coming Saturday, DD starts working in the ICU unit at her hospital. To cut down on exposure risk to the boys, SIL is coming down here with them for a couple of weeks. DD hopes that they will be through the surge by then and either she will be back to her usual unit or at least the risk of exposure will be less. It was a difficult decision for them because the boys are so young. I think it is the right decision. She'll be exhausted when she gets home so she'll be able to take care of herself and rest. DS2 and SIL will be able to do grocery shopping for us if needed, while they are here.

    Good luck with your appointment today @charlotte989875. @banana468 for some reason, I couldn't see your picture. I have seen others though and wondered how they were done. Did you order the paint from amazon? Does it have to be the blue Dawn or can it be any variety? I thought it might be fun to do some window painting with the boys.

    we are 'distancing buddies' w/ my parents.  Meaning, they're part of our houshold bubble as long as they're not being dumb.  So we're going there for EAster, assuming they stick to the rules and don't go places.

    We DID take the Mr's car to the shop/drop off and just got off the phone w/ them.  $1.1k to get back to driving.  Good thing we don't have to go anywhere or see anybody for them to do it.

    The kiddo's FIRST zoom classroom mtg is in 1/2 an hour.  Then we're doing teletherapy for her speech therapy, that BCBS considers 'mental health' so they won't cover (her therapist is basically going 'meh, we're here anyway, just charge the copay' so we're doing speech.  They can't do that w/ the shrink who works w/ her ASD, so, we're just not doing that for now.  Frustrating.

    But the weekend had the kiddo spend the night w/my folks, so we had a 'date night' of contact-less-pizza-delievery and yardwork.

    Love the window @banana468, you did a fantastic job.  If you can’t go to church, bring the church to you!

    it looks like you guys are keeping busy with house projects and all that.  That’s great. I wish I had motivation! I need to really take the mold off of my deck and fill cracks in my driveway.  I hate manual labor!

    is anyone here single and quarantining? I know it’s funny to ask on a wedding board, lol, but I think I know a few singles on here.  First 2 weeks were OK... third week is getting to me and now we don’t know when it’s going to be lifted it’s getting depressing. I wanted to deactivate my fb because all I see is “STAY HOME” on my feed, but they are all from people with families and they have people to actually talk to... zoom can only go so far.  How are other singles getting by? Btw - I was ALWAYS a homebody so that’s why it wasnt that bad, but now I just was some interaction throughout the day.

    Especially since it is something you might end up not using/barely using, I'd recommend you get a basic, "generic" one.  It's been a few years since I've shopped for one, but I remember that Walgreens had one in their own generic name.  I assume they still do and probably similar companies, like CVS/Walmart.  At the time, the monitor was 10 bucks and the strips for it were less than $50 for 100 strips.  You can also buy the strips in smaller quantities.  That's about half the price for strips of name brand monitors.

    Make sure it has a "finger-pricker" device with the meter. Sort of looks like a thick pen.  I think those are usually included with the meter but, if not, you can buy one.  They're not expensive.  They usually only include about ten "lancets"...the disposable pricky thing that goes in the finger-pricker...so I'd suggest buying an extra pack of them.  Also not expensive.

    I get it. DS2 is the same way! He said the first week was kind of fun but last week was not so much. Human interaction is so important. He also has anxiety which only gets worse when he is all by himself in times of stress.

    I'm not, but I have a quite a few friends who are. They're the ones I try to call every couple of days, b/c I know they're suffering.  At least two..no 3 of mine are considered essential employees, so they're getting some interaction, but not having actual relationship time, rather than just co-workers, is wearing on them all.

    Today feels like herding cats.   It's gorgeous outside and I keep having to run to the kiddos and tell them to actually do their work.   Chiquita is my bigger culprit and I've received multiple blank stares.

    BUT, on somewhat decent news, I'm getting a refund for my flights.   I am assuming that Jet Blue cancelled because of Florida's mandatory quarantine rules in place now that are affecting so many travelers.   And because of that we're able to get our $ back vs. play travel credit bingo.  Now we look into whether or not to road trip to FL in August or fly.  Road tripping could be a horror but also could be good for getting there with social distance.

    Love the window @banana468, you did a fantastic job.  If you can’t go to church, bring the church to you!

    it looks like you guys are keeping busy with house projects and all that.  That’s great. I wish I had motivation! I need to really take the mold off of my deck and fill cracks in my driveway.  I hate manual labor!

    is anyone here single and quarantining? I know it’s funny to ask on a wedding board, lol, but I think I know a few singles on here.  First 2 weeks were OK... third week is getting to me and now we don’t know when it’s going to be lifted it’s getting depressing. I wanted to deactivate my fb because all I see is “STAY HOME” on my feed, but they are all from people with families and they have people to actually talk to... zoom can only go so far.  How are other singles getting by? Btw - I was ALWAYS a homebody so that’s why it wasnt that bad, but now I just was some interaction throughout the day. 
    I'm not, but I have a quite a few friends who are. They're the ones I try to call every couple of days, b/c I know they're suffering.  At least two..no 3 of mine are considered essential employees, so they're getting some interaction, but not having actual relationship time, rather than just co-workers, is wearing on them all.
    I definitely sympathize with anyone having to quarantine by themselves.  It feels suffocating and lonely enough, even with my H and the two fuzzies around.

    @CharmedPam, if you've thought about adopting a cat and/or dog, now would be a good time.  I assume shelters under the current circumstances are able to do that fairly "hands off".  Or, if you don't want or aren't sure if you want a pet long-term, you could foster a dog or kitty.  Of course, it's not the same as "people" company, but they're still good company and can fill a lot of that void with their cuteness, devoted companionship, and funny antics.
