While on a break today I was looking at Twitter and saw Glennon Doyle's tweet about Rachel Held Evans. I went down the proverbial rabbit hole and ended up on RHE's blog and discovered this post about "Mommy Bloggers". It's worth a read.

Coronavirus Craziness

We are living in a really weird time period right now. You can't go to a web page or social media site without the words coronavirus or COVID-19 jumping off the page. I decided to dust off our blog so we can document this "unprecedented time"--yeah, I'm sick of seeing that phrase already too.

Brian and Evelyn have been out of school since March 13. I've been working from home since March 20. The Governor of Michigan just extended the Stay Home Stay Safe orders through April 30. It's still uncertain how long all of this will go on. All we can do is take it one day at a time and do the best we can each day. 

We're trying to keep a routine going in our household. Its easier to do this during the workweek since I am expected to work during my normal office hours. I wake up and shower as though I'll be driving to Marquette, but the commute is just a short walk upstairs to my makeshift office in a corner of our bedroom. I can't complain about the setting too much since I actually have a window! I can watch the birds in the trees outside our bedroom window and enjoy the sun when it's out. The really great bonus is my new coworkers, Gracie and Gizmo. They break into the room every so often and offer some great support in the way of snuggles.
