Coronavirus day 2: The panic grows and life is changing. Our nation has gained over 400 new confirmed cases today and our state has risen to 12 cases. It has finally caught my sister’s attention and I am assuming the attention of many more. I expect things to go downhill from here and we are ready for it.
Today the kids helped me prep fresh food from yesterday for the freezer and we spent some time cleaning. and are focusing on keeping life normal with homeschooling while the world beyond these walls goes crazy.
We need to venture out for more milk and such tomorrow but will otherwise be staying home besides my husband going to work. Today I ordered spare filters for our water pitcher, a couple more cloth diaper covers as some of our stash is missing and I want to be ready should they be needed, and some more children’s allergy medication in case it becomes hard to get. I am ready for what is coming as I can be. One day I will look back on these entries and laugh.
