Life in the Time of Corona (Day 23-27)

4.8.20 (Wednesday):

n and I wore our masks outside the house for the first time, during our walk.

Unemployment in the United States is over 10%, which is astronomically high.

We watched an interesting and entertaining National Geographic Documentary called “Science Fair” on Disney Plus. I liked how the documentary showcased teenagers from very different backgrounds. Even D said it was better than he thought it would be-ha! Highly recommend.

4.9.20 (Thursday):

More rain. During a break in the rain I decided to do a Costco run since I heard that our store had toilet paper in stock. I wore my mask. There was no line to get in, and I was able to buy a big package of Kirkland toilet paper-score! I also noticed that the price of eggs has gone way up.

I cleaned out and organized my baking drawer.

We have been watching Gordon Ramsay’s show, Uncharted. The first two shows were about Peru and New Zealand. It is a fascinating look into how others live.

4.10.20 (Good Friday):

At Costco, I saw this Urban Pie pizza for the first time, so I decided to try it out. I think it was only like $5 for two pizzas! Pretty good!

In the early evening we participated in communion through our church’s online Good Friday service. We were not prepared, as we did not have grape juice, but we made do.

We watched the documentary African Cats. I could not believe the footage that the cameramen were able to capture! Apparently I am a bigger fan of nature documentaries than the rest of my family, however.

4.11.20 (Saturday):

Even though Saturdays do not really feel like Saturdays anymore, it is nice to have a break from all the Zooming/Google Meets, etc.

Still taking our scooter walks.

4.12.20 (Easter Sunday):

He is Risen!

It was a drizzly day. D made eggs and bacon and I made a giant pancake in the rice cooker using this recipe.

I sewed up some Easter baskets for the kids using this tutorial. They ended up being a little too big since I did not have much to put in them except for some candy. I am thinking they can use them to organize some of their clothes.

We watched our church’s Easter service online. So glad that we are still able to worship and celebrate the Resurrection in this way. We did not dress up at home, like I saw some other people doing on social media.

For dinner, D cooked salmon for us. I made a giant m&m cookie for dessert.

We watched a National Geographic documentary on Apollo at night. It seemed fitting since today was the 59th anniversary of the first manned flight to outer space.
