Days 31-34

April 15-18, 2020: Wednesday was rough, but the past few days have been okay. I was able to go for a jog with baby G on Thursday, despite the weather being a bit chilly and breezy. On Friday, K made a nice dinner and we had a relaxing evening, finally. Saturday was farmers' market day, and K did a few hours of work in the yard. Our neighbors/landlords are asking for us to help with some things, and I'm really not comfortable with the lack of social distancing/face masks. Some people definitely take this more seriously than others.

Baby G has a little bit of a cold, hoping it doesn't get worse. I have no idea how she caught a cold when we haven't been around other humans in 5 weeks.

K was wonderful and put the garden plots and pots together for me, ready with dirt, so I was able to get outside during G's second nap and plant some seeds. It felt good to start a garden after two years, however small it is compared to my past gardens.

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.
