Well, we finished week two of the quarantine. It kinda feels like we're living in an alternate universe or something. Almost like we're part of a movie or like we're being punk'd.
I'd like to say we're settling in, and we are somewhat, but there's also a lot of fighting and frustration. Along with that, there are moments when I know we are all grateful for this pause and time together.
The kids get restless and tire of my nagging a little earlier in the morning than I wish. We are trying to do some schoolwork and have some kind of a routine. We got official word that the kids will be out of school at least until April 30th. Most of the teachers have contacted us and we're hoping to start doing some distance learning starting Monday.
Jason is on a rotating schedule at work. Starting this week, he'll go into work one week and telework from home the next week. We'll see how that goes. It's a little stressful having him come and go. We're trying to only go to the grocery store once every two weeks.
It's devastating hearing about all the death and sickness in the world. Different countries and states are doing different measures of "shelter in place". So much judgement about who is doing the social distancing correctly and going out more than they should. My siblings have had squabbles about it multiple times.
Jason has taken over the dinner prep and making. It's awesome! He's been making homemade bread and rolls for our meals. Definitely a bright spot in our day.
I've been trying to do some Primary stuff from a distance. Posting videos and lesson helps on the Halawa Ward Facebook page. Trying to connect in some way. My fitness group is obviously on hiatus. We all miss getting together and having the energy during workouts, but it's okay. I'm still posting MWF workouts on the Facebook page and people are posting times. My friend, Ali, and I have done some workouts via FaceTime.
All in all, we're healthy and sometimes happy. Haha! We are joining the rest of the church in a worldwide fast for healing tonight and tomorrow. Looking forward to conference.
Oh yeah...last night we finished a music video that the kids made of Panic at the Disco's version of "Into the Unknown" from Frozen 2. The Perry's challenged us to a lip sync battle. It was stressful and anxiety ridden, but it turned out pretty dang funny.
