Just a check-in to let everyone know that we are alive and well here. I wanted to do a post without mentioning the C word, but can't. It invades my thoughts too much. And if I posted without mentioning it, everyone would wonder about the elephant in the room.
So what's been going on at my house? We've been officially staying at home for about three weeks now, but had limited activities before that. We aren't bored as we are all working or doing school from home. Also, Theo goes out to work for Costco. Luckily, he is not in a retail store, but is in a place with a lot of other people. However, Costco is going out of it's way to keep things as safe as they can. As you can imagine there has been a huge surge in online orders, so his location has hired a lot of new people. And according to Theo, half of them seem to have the job of yelling at everyone to practice safe, clean, and social distancing behavior. He is glad about that because he has been very contentious since the beginning, but not everyone was onboard as quickly as he was.

| Cherry blossoms from10 years ago on this day, when Ward and I were visiting the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. |
And speaking of working at home, Ward is a pro at it because of the nighttime and weekend work he has done for years at home. However, it's all a new experience for me and not one I really like. I've been at it for two weeks and still trying to find a happy medium. I've gone from being very intense and exhausting myself making sure that I made every minute count to being restless and nonproductive much like today. I think more organization and planning on my part will help me find a happy medium between my two extremes at this point. Also, I don't like it because there is too much sitting. When I am in the library, there is a lot more moving around, not to mention people interaction. And what all of this means for blogging is that by the time I finish my teleworking, I'm too tired to think or sit at the computer any more. Thus the blogging has been sliding.
As I am writing this, I just heard the daily helicopters fly over. We live on the flight path from the White House to Camp David and see military helicopters flying people there then and again. I wasn't sure who was going there because Camp David is not Trump's style, plus he has a lot of other places to go. But here's Miss Landers' theory. She has been timing them and has observed that they usually flyover soon after Trump finishes his daily press conference and fly back about an hour later. She thinks that Melania and Barron are isolating there and Trump goes there every day to visit his family. Who knows, but makes sense. That's one way I've been entertaining myself when I'm not working--discussing the flight patterns of the military helicopters that fly over my house.
Now I'm off to make some kind of concoction with some old strawberries, blueberries, and bread crumbs we found during our freezer inventory. I think I hear a crisp calling.
I will be back soon with what we've been doing besides working while we spend more time at home.
Be safe and Be well.
Until next time.....
