Day 40

It's been 40 days since we've started self-isolating. This brings a new meaning to Noah's Ark. I did some work today and we FaceTimed with family in the afternoon and evening. K and I got dressed up and he cooked a wonderful dinner after baby G went to bed. We watched some Bletchley Circle, which is a great show we had watched many years ago, and I just found out there was a more recent season. It's a great show, and it was a wonderful way to relax and wind down after a rough week.

The death toll in the US hit 50,000 today. Also the president speculated on live TV if people could drink disinfectants and shoot UV light into their bodies to kill COVID-19.

Days 73-74

May 28-29, 2020 We've been getting ready to celebrate baby G's 1st birthday! We made a cake on Thursday night and iced it on Friday night, her actual birthday. On Saturday will be her virtual party with family members FaceTiming during cake and presents. We had a fun couple of days -- lots of family walks, time outside (although it's getting swampy hot), and new presents for her birthday. My cousin's new baby is doing well, although they're struggling with the feeding and sleep schedule understandably. Turns out my aunt (the grandmother) is allowed to come visit. I'm not sure if she's wearing a mask, but everyone's taking the normal precautions. There have been more shootings and murders of unarmed black people lately. Protests and even riots are happening in Minneapolis (where George Floyd was murdered) and other areas around the country. Social media is lighting up with arguments and memes.

Day 41

It was a restful Saturday. We relaxed a bit in the morning, and then K went to pick up our farmers' market items and he also mowed the grass. I had a nice morning with baby G. After lunch G and I went for a jog, and the weather was lovely -- somewhat cool and not windy. I had a great afternoon with baby G while K did some work for his classes. Mostly stayed off of social media today. After the president's outrageous statement yesterday, conservatives are claiming that there are actual medical treatments based on what he said. And then today he said he was being sarcastic and just said it to get a reaction out of the reporters.
