Quarantine Day 21

Well they say that it takes 21 days to break a habit or start a new one. Here we are 21 days into this quarantine and we're still chugging along. I really hope that this does not become the new normal.

I thought I would write more, but in all honesty, the days have actually flown by. Well, most "school days" seem to fly by and I feel like I get barely anything accomplished. Then there are other days where I feel like I have nothing to do and the day drags on. I think I have found a balance of working and being on the computer and taking small breaks. I never sit this much and I am starting to feel it in my hips and my legs.

We started Week 4 of e-learning this week, I can't believe it's been a month of being out of school. It's actually gone by really fast, but I hate that I am missing the kids so much. Monday and Wednesday are my favorite days because the kids hop into our google meets and we get to check in with each other. Last week, we shared our animals and had a range of pets show up on the screen. Dogs, cats and even a bird. My honors class has been finishing up Romeo and Juliet, and although we are not in the classroom right now, they've done a great job of reading the play over google meets. We are finishing it up this week and can move on to other things.

Outside of doing school work way more than I ever asked for, like all weekend long and in the evenings, I haven't done much else. This past Saturday I walked around Brookgreen Gardens. Getting to be out in the sunshine, enjoying the flowers and walking around was so good for the soul. And before you go with the whole social distancing thing, I was. I wasn't around anyone and kept my distance when other's were near. Plus, it's an outdoor garden with acres of land, free from touching anything.

I am looking forward to this 4 day week. Friday starts our Spring Break. I am looking forward to some time off. Deciding on where to go still, maybe you could help me. Should I go to the living room, bedroom or patio? I'm leaning toward the patio if it's nice out. I get solid sunshine in the morning and then in the afternoon there's a light breeze, plus the animals love being out. I'll let you know what I officially decide later in the week, or next week.

I hope everyone is staying safe, healthy, and sane.

Love from the girl who is extremely tired of screen time.
