Things have been so crazy with the pandemic. There has been a run on toilet paper (it's so hard to find and many places are limiting customers to one package per household), hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and food.
We can't eat inside restaurants but we have been trying to help the economy and people working in restaurants by eating out 3 times per week. We order take out and pick it up to eat at home. The kids are loving this part of the pandemic.
Bryan has been working from home which has saved a ton in gas money. He actually feels more efficient when he is working from home because he has the commute time taken out and he doesn't have people popping into his office to chat.
Ethan and Courtney are doing school from home. Courtney hasn't had too hard a time although Math has been giving her fits. But it will toughen her up. ;) Ethan's creative writing teacher went nuts for a while and was giving a ton of assignments. But he soon realized, when they stopped turning them in, that he was giving too many and backed off. And the photography class Ethan had wasn't too hard.
I'm still going in to work every day. Besides the fact that we have been really busy helping parents and students get things worked out online, it hasn't been much different from when the students are in the building...minus the students. I have had time to get things done, like the file audits, that I didn't have time for before. And I'm super happy that testing was cancelled!!
Masks are worn by people when they go out and some stores are requiring masks or you can't go in. I avoid those stores because the CDC and the Southern Utah Health Department have both said that only those who are sick should be wearing masks.
Utah went from Orange (stay home, stay safe) to Yellow on May 1st. That means that some restrictions can be eased. Restaurants can have dine-in but everyone has to be 6 feet apart. Things have eased a bit and it has been nice. Since Utah opened, Southern Utah has been flooded with people from other states who want to get out. Hopefully we can go to Green soon which will be back to (mostly) normal.
But for now, people wear masks, people wear gloves (cross contamination, anyone?), and we go on with life as best we can.
