So glad that we’re going through this #quarantine during spring when we can get outside and enjoy it (at a safe distance from others). Can you imagine if this was happening in winter?!

I can’t believe it was just 3 weeks ago that we were sitting in Grand Cayman — enjoying our view, the sun and endless strawberry daiquiris. So much has changed. I’m glad we got the extra little vacation in before the world shut down. I’m thankful we stayed healthy (it was not bad when we went or we wouldn’t have gone!). I’m glad L got to experience another place and some normalcy before all of this abnormal time with mom and dad who are also working and trying to balance all the things. I know he misses his friends and the structure of class — but probably also loves some of the freedom we give him at home. But I know we’d love to all rewind time to 3 weeks ago and be back on a beach doing nothing 😅

Running is a solo activity that I can keep doing while social distancing and while sheltering in place. What worries me is people who are not taking this seriously and who are going to ruin it for others. Do you know in some countries, people are only allowed outside 15 minutes a day? This 40 minute run gave me life yesterday but while on it, I saw people walking with friends (I know they’re not family), I saw people with empty strollers which tells me you probably dropped your kids off somewhere, I saw kids riding bikes and scooters together, I saw people walking over to their neighbor’s house and knocking on the door — and definitely not standing 6 ft apart to talk. I had to move to the center of the road to run multiple times due to people not understanding what “6 ft” is or complying with it. There were plenty of people who did move (mostly other runners!!) and I know there are plenty of people who are bored out of their minds sitting home with only the people who live in their home but we need more of that. More people who understand this isn’t spring break or extended family time. The sooner we can flatten the curve, the sooner we can all get back to our normal lives.

The weather was fantastic this weekend which made #quarantinelife better? Easier? I don’t know. It felt manageable. Maybe it was that the adults weren’t also trying to juggle full time jobs AND keeping a tiny human alive but whatever it was — I loved the sunshine and the break from the everyday hustle. Ready to start week 3 tomorrow and NC begins it’s 30 day Shelter in Place. 🏠 ☀️

Happy 13th birthday to this handsome fella! We didn’t celebrate in normal fashion by going to @petco for a new toy (#stayhome) but we did give him lots of love and treats and I’m pretty sure that’s all he’s ever wanted in life. Love you so very much, my sweet baby Tucker. You’re a good boy! 💗 🦮 #tuckerthegiantlab

Today was better. 11 days of just us (but really I think it’s 13 or 14) and we’re all a little stir crazy. The weather is improving so we’re excited about that. A couple trips outside today really improved our mood and Nana and Granddad came by on the golf cart at the end of the evening and parked in the driveway so we could talk to them from the porch. Definitely not our normal interaction but we’re grateful our family is still healthy and safe. 💗💗
