Covid-19

Well not much has been posted in some time, because like you, I am hunkered down due to the Covid-19 restrictions put in place by much of the country.  Truthfully, my life hasn't changed that much.  Work at the radio station was considered essential so I continued working.  I don't go many places so the closing of most places was not an issue for me.  Tammy has been able to cut my hair several times, and we have been doing Charlotte's nails ourselves.  Lizzy, who worked from home, and Stas, who continued his work at the bank, still came over on Sundays.

There were some changes in Tammy's job.  Her department does "elective" procedures so they had their work hours reduced.  She was then placed on furlough as she awaited a voluntary covid assignment which she did for 3 weeks before being called back to her department.  During the time she worked on the covid floors, she disinfected the house quite a bit, slept in the guest bedroom, and used that bathroom.

Toilet paper was hard to come by for the first several weeks - thank goodness I was still working.  Tammy never had trouble finding the groceries we needed.  We did have to cancel our trip to Montana and couldn't go to this spring's Brimfield Flea Market because it was cancelled.

There were some nice bright spots.  Cleaned out the basement.  Did some yard beautification.  Experienced less traffic on the roads to and from work.  The boss worked evenings.  The office at work was closed to visitors meaning no dressing up was needed.  Received a stimulus check and refund on auto insurance premiums.  Could watch church (and multiple ones at that) from the couch.  Shopped on-line for many things including some frivolous purchases of coffee cakes, whoopie pies, soft pretzels, and peanut butter poppers.  Most weekend ordered take-out family meals from restaurants that remained open.

At the writing of this blog entry things are starting to open back-up again across the country with all the states in some sort of phased opening.  Time will tell how this all plays out, but the above is a look into my life during the spring of Covid-19.
