On carving out time for yourself... I don't know if this is the case where you live but in a lot of places hotels rooms are super cheap right now, even super swanky ones. Can you do something like that this week?
I wish you could too may you guys would get along swimmingly I think.
And with the panic now spreading through the Midwest I don't see alone time happening anytime soon. Cheap hotel or not. I in fact see myself being locked up in a small space with H coming up very quickly. We had very few confirmed cases in our state, but as I work in government and work closely with non-profits I'm finding out there are a ton of people being quarantined in the last few days. My kids' schools sent out emails stating that if even 1 kid gets quarantined they are switching over to online classes and the schools are closing until TBD. My work has sent out several emails and instituted temporary work from home and "sick time" borrowing policies. All business travel is cancelled. All external meeting are to be done by teleconference or Skype. Internal meetings with external partners or vendors are to be done with the external people via teleconference or Skype. A person at H's work was quarantined. That person only travels within the state so things are starting to get a lil dicey here. I do have to say though it is nice to have something else to panic about....lol
The kids are going by the other families while we're still going to let them this weekend so I think the next few weeks in general are going to be interesting for us. Honestly I have a feeling it's going to be interesting for a lot of folks on here.I'll probably be pretty absent on here after today as I now have to be the prepper I never wanted to be because very soon even if we don't get quarantined I may very well have 2 teens home all day every day for god only knows how long. Oh PS they cycle at the same time too and that should be coming up in a week or so here, so that's fun..... God help me.
