I'll keep a running diary here of sorts of me and my family's quarantine. None of us are sick. We just want to be smart, per the social distancing guidelines and CDC, WHO recommendations. I should have enough supplies for six weeks and possibly as long as eight weeks. My hope is to stay here for a minimum of three weeks and perhaps as long as four, before going back out and buying more food and supplies. I don't want to wait too long (say 4.5-5 weeks) and realize I don't have a ton of food left if finding it becomes difficult. The stores have been madhouses over the last five days or so so I actually anticipate that the worst has passed so far as that goes, or will pass within the next few days. We shall see.
I had to go into school yesterday (teacher's only) to finish planning so remote learning can begin for the students today. I'll have to stay online here and there (no specifics were really given) so that if students have any questions I can answer them. Most are in an app too where they can basically just text me with their questions.
This should be interesting. All three kids are here as my wife tries to work and I do at times as well. It's raining now so we won't be taking them out just yet. Paw Patrol is on the tv now-yay. We'll mix it up with them. TV, coloring, online learning for my oldest, play downstairs, play upstairs in the play room, games, play outside, watch a movie. I wish they were about 3-5 years older each so we could watch real flicks. Animated ones get old after a while and there are only so many regular ones a 5, 3 and 1 year old will watch.
Like I said, we all feel fine. Most have a cough. A dry cough as described in the symptoms. Have had it for 4-5 days too but no other symptoms and like I said, we all feel fine. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm like Donnie here and am asymptomatic. Have had a sort of odd feeling on the left side of my chest for five days now. But I'm not sure how much is in my head, or from crappy eating habits. I think it's neither and that I have a tiny bit of an odd, hollow like feeling there but whatever. I'm not worried about it.
