What can I say about the last two months? The world went from normal to insane seemingly overnight. We heard rumblings of COVID-19 but they were halfway around the world. In March the rumblings grew stronger. March 13, 2020 was the last time Keilee did a normal party or event. The next day she woke up with 103° fever. She had to cancel her first ever party. She spent the next week coughing her head off. Wracking coughs that would not stop. Her fever went down but she kept a low grade fever. Then I started the coughing. I didn’t have fever but I thought I would cough a lung up. Was it Covid-19? There were no reported cases here at the time but who knows.
The last 70 something days have been so surreal. We have stayed in. We have used grocery store pick up. We haven’t gone in a store except for 3 times. Twice into Dollar General and once in CVS for my Daddy.
Keilee had to completely stop doing parties of course. She has made to transition to all virtual. She has been slammed with video calls and personalized videos.
We wear our masks every time we are out anywhere. (Not in the car obviously) I don’t understand all the uproar about masks. They are recommended. They help. Wear the damn mask.
We have gone on a lot of car rides. And seen some beautiful things.
I love Wisteria.
Spring flowers.
We’ve eaten dinner on the patio a few times.
We bought a small pool to lay out in because Point Mallard isn’t opening. Which makes us sad but we agree with that decision.
We visit Daddy but stay 10′ away. He is older with COPD and he would die if he got sick.
Our country breaks my heart. Other countries banded together, our tore apart. There is so much more I could say about it all. But I won’t.
Keilee did go to 2 nursing homes and walk around outside waving to residents. It was our favorite thing during all of this.
Keilee has her business completely virtual over this time. She has had free story times each Friday and also done tons of video messages and Zoom parties.
Story Time Fridays for 12 weeks
New normal. I’m not sure how long this will last but here we are.
