Now to clean my house after not leaving my room for 10+ days! I did get outside for a short walk today with my dog today, which was glorious. I feel like I lost all muscle mass in the last 2 weeks with not moving from bed for 10 days! Thankful for sunshine today and 62 degrees!

Today I went to work. Parents were picking up packets for the kids as well as the last of their belongings from school. We were all decked out in gloves and masks and could only wave to the kids from their cars. Aside from that, it was easy to forget about all of it. It felt like we were playing some sort of silly relay game with gloves and masks. A parent would pull up at one end of the school. A teacher got their last name and teacher's name. They radio'd it in using a walkie talkie. Someone grabbed the package from the gym and carried it out the front door while the parent pulled forward and grabbed it. It was kind of fun really. Anyway, I am mostly working from home. I am going in tomorrow to take care of a couple of things. It should take me 3 minutes max. Our high school is making face shields with a 3D printer and they need rubber bands. I found several bags of the size they need that had been donated to my STEM lab so I am going to retrieve those and send them to the HS.

Oh that does remind me, when this is all over we'll eventually have to go in to my son's school and collect all his stuff. I'm so glad I grabbed his reading glasses that were kept at school!! I wish I had been smarter and grabbed a few other things. Glad you all opened the school and allowed the parents to collect their children's things. I imagine it's hard to see your students and not be able to hug them
That's pretty awesome that they are making face shields! The things those 3d printers do is awesome! I'm so glad you found some rubber bands that they need!!
Please stay safe out and about!

Right?! My husband's command just told him that we need to start utilizing the on post breakfast/lunches they are passing out to children 18 and under. He said the amount of snacking and eating the kids are doing, the breakfast/lunches will help us stay out of the stores as we are having to go every week or so because we don't have the space in our house to store food.

( I make my husband do that as soon as he comes home from work he is currently working in North Jersey.)
and after all that the kids want frozen pizza and fries for dinner..... go figure......

Oh my goodness Redners!!! Have you ever seen the Chicken Pot Pie at Redners, over by the salad that you can buy by the pound or over in the deli? Mmm, tell me you buy it and it's still delicious!!!
Sounds like even though you were running errands all day today, you are doing very well keeping the germs out of the house!! Please stay safe!!
