Woof. Another month at home here in WA.

Phased opening up but it’s going to take time and we probably won’t be having any big gatherings at all this summer.

I have to figure out when it’s safe to see our kids. One we can see at a distance but the ones with the two year old grandson it would just be torture not to be able to cuddle.

That said we talk and portal a lot so it’s just mostly awful that they can’t work. But we’re lucky. We’ll get through. And alive!

As much as it sucks, I wish FL were half as careful. dewsgirl May 2020 #1

I'm perfectly happy doing this for another month if it means saving lives. Aristus May 2020 #2

I'm coming to work every day anyway. Other than the fact that my wife is self-isolating at home, there hasn't been much of a change for me.

As a senior with health issues, I am glad that our Governor is proceeding carefully and cautiously. My fear for those who live in states that are opening so quickly is that basic sanitation and precautions will fall by the wayside. I have too many family members in Georgia and Florida. All with health issues. I fear for their safety as I don't think they are as OCD as I am with the safety measures.

Although there is a great deal miss about living in a smaller rural community, I am glad to be on the other side of the lake from Seattle as I have a wealth of delivery options. We really aren't pressured to go out and can stick to the local street for dog walking or an occasional short drive to see something other than our little neighborhood.

I’m unhappy with not being able to do familiar things and go to meetings, and it’s awful not seeing my sons and grandson, but we do have lots of contact and it’s part of helping us get through.

I’m really sick of those who can’t be bothered to help the rest of us survive.
