Day 8 of lockdown......I think

It's hard to remember how many days this has been our new normal.  It was a bit of a gradual process actually.  First it was wash your hands and stay home if you are unwell, then it was the schools are open to only vulnerable kids and kids of key workers, then it was don't go out unless you have to get essential supplies, then it was all non-essential stores are closed.

I have been out at least to go for a run everyday, I just can't not go outside and do a bit of something or else I will seriously go crazy!!  And not to mention trying to find the essentials that we need.  Tortillas have been the hardest food item to come by for some reason...

Alison has settled into a good routine of schoolwork.  It was helpful this week for her to make up her own timetable.  Drew has been really not feeling well this week, so he hasn't done much work, because he has just been too tired.  Lauren is doing her own thing of course.  She didn't get out of bed until 12:30 since she has PE on Tuesday mornings.  I can't even begin to make her get out of bed.....

Overall, it has been going pretty well.  Brad takes a lot of phone calls, so he does that in the reception room.  And Lauren sits at the computer desk, and Alison, Drew and I take over the kitchen table.  Thankfully I have my laptop to work on!  I am very impressed with Microsoft Teams and the ease of ability to do all my work remotely.  I do miss being in the office and being able to chat with everyone.
