Lubbock on today.
It's actually a decent day here in Iowa. Mid sixties and sunny- down side is the 20 mph wind. The puppers are enjoying some time sunning on the porch, so I'll do the same as I post this.
It's a Monday- this I know because Dallas is working and did not yesterday. I may or may not be aware of when Wednesday and Thursday roll around.
We'll be tweaking our routine a little this week. Our schools here have decided to close for the rest of the year and we are now under voluntary learning. We haven't heard yet if the grades will be simply pass/fail or if there will be actual letter grades. It's frustrating all around. The girls log onto zoom for a small period each class a few days a week. Some calls go better than others. They miss friends and teachers and you can hear how disappointed the teachers are as well.
For me, I have finally gotten my workouts up and running. I still miss my "gym therapy" with my friends, but at least I'm staying in shape. The pop tarts are not helping but, whatever. Juneau has even started working out with me.
After our workout today we walked Noodle and Cupcake- shorter than normal, it was WINDY ! But we plan to go back out this evening and let Flapjack go too. Tired puppies are good puppies!
The girls have gone for a socially distant lunch with friends. They're bringing their own food and sitting far apart while still hanging out. They facetime their friends a lot, too. It makes me so happy to hear them laughing and being silly.
Aside from my workout and the general house maintenance that has not changed during our coronacation, I spend my time sewing masks for friends and family (let me know if you want some) and making cards. I send out several a week , and I think my next big batch will go to a local nursing home.
We've been playing a lot of games. Video games, board games, card games, random made up games. The kids are enjoying easter egg hunts, actually microbe hunts. Have you seen those? You can check out giantmicrobes.com. Anyway, we have a set of good (antibody, white cell, red cell, plasma and platelet) and a bad set (small pox, typhoid, black death, cholera and Spanish flu) that we hid around the house and then hunt for. Sometimes whoever wins gets to pick lunch that day, sometimes its just bragging rights. either way, it passes the time.
On that note- think I'll go hide them - the girls should be getting home soon. Then more walkies, dinner and games. Not a bad way to pass the time.
