On our way home I finally had the chance to check my email and learned that all schools in our province have been closed until further notice, which could be for the rest of the school year. We were all finally able to go do our shopping. Part of our reason to choose shopping now was we had all come down with a cold. I made sure to bring hand sanitizer with us and as soon as we got home we all washed our hands thoroughly. My older 2 children were instructed not to touch anything and keep their hands in their pockets. While shopping I kept my youngest in her stroller and away from people and things she could potentially pick up. So making the 40 minute trip 1 - 2 times a month is worth it. We do have a small grocery store in the small town we live in, but prices are higher and there's not much of a variety. Monday we went into our nearby little city to get groceries. We all do what we have to in order to cope with change and uncertainty. Maybe I was just trying to convince myself this will all blow over and not impact us. I'm sure there's many Albertans who expected these changes but I wasn't one of them. This week came some unexpected changes for us. What about you guys? What have y'all been doing and how are you feeling? But I should probably stop watching so many videos and pick up my Japanese textbooks once and for all. I don't really use the site, but lately it's been filled with lots of quarantine memes that are helping me cope with the fear and stress.Īnd finally, Youtube. Quite a few books that I haven't read yet are patiently waiting for me on my shelves. Progress is very slow, but I'm getting there, and I really want that gold trophy. I've spent these past few days playing Neoquest II on Insane, and it's just as hard and frustrating as I thought. I'm sure a lot of introverted people can relate

Long-distance travels within the country have been banned, and even if I could travel, I wouldn't do it in case I got the virus and I just don't know it yet (it can take up to 2 weeks before symptoms start to appear).Īnyway, I don't necessarily hate staying at home all day, since I'm used to not going out for extended periods of time. At first I decided to stay and sit for one of my pending final exams from college, but by the time I changed my mind it was already too late. I'm really frustrated since I've been keeping an eye on this whole Coronavirus crisis since the very beginning, and when I saw how the situation worsened in Italy, I debated whether or not to go back to my hometown and be with my family. They are gonna announce a federally mandated quarantine any moment now. My country has already closed its borders and told citizens to stay at home and practice social distancing.
