I'm in southern Maine. All of the schools in my county and the one just south of us have been closed through April 27th at least. I'd be surprised if we are back this year, to be honest. Distance teaching is challenging... even though I have "office hours", I'm definitely finding myself obsessively checking emails to see if students have questions, etc. Today I'm trying to step back a bit and take better care of myself.
Haven't left my house much except for walks through the neighborhood and grocery shopping. At this point there are 107 cases in Maine, and I feel like this week that number is going to jump... so I'm not planning on going to any stores again for at least the next week.
Unbelievably, the Maine Mall is still OPEN. Seriously?? Some stores have closed, but not all. I just assumed that they were all closed, but there were a fair number of cars in the lot when I drove by today on my way to Hannaford for groceries. Get with it, people!
