Corona Tornado

We're in the middle of what seems like the apocalypse, a crazy movie and a nightmare all rolled into one. I decided I should keep up with it via my old blog so one day the great grandkids will know about this time of Coronaville. It's been one week down of pretty much quarantine to your home. We go on walks, to the store if we have to and we will venture to get ice cream tonight or tomorrow driving through a drive-thru... It's a very scary time.

It's weird how time works out. Before all of this, Nick was laid off. Shiner was put to rest. We were already in this upheaval of life. It seemed to all work in perfect timing... if there is perfect timing for this. Now we just live in fear of everything. We cannot go to school. My kids are 4 and 1 so they aren't in a place where they're going to school every day. Walker misses his friends so much. We do a few educational things a day, but I know it's not like real school. He goes to chapel, music, movement, and gets to run crazy in the gym. He gets to learn one-on-one with his teacher. It's just not the same for my social little crazy man.

I can honestly say I'm not bored. I always do article writing for different companies. I'll do a few articles a day, plus I was hired by a photographer to be her virtual assistant as a part time job. I job hunt with Nick helping him find great postings... worst time to be unemployed as the rest of the world joins you and we have no idea when this will lift. I play with the boys. We take lots of walks and jogs to stay in shape. It only gets really quiet at night when not much is on TV, and the boys go to sleep. We check in on friends. It's sort of like coming out of a hole to ensure everyone is still there. Everyone is home, but you cannot go see them.

I take the time on my walks to pray. I'm so confused by God. We wonder if we did something really wrong. I didn't think you could ever shut off the whole world. We've have countless things canceled. Weddings, birthday parties, etc. The entire world just shuts. It's surreal. If I wasn't living it, I wouldn't believe it. I keep thinking in a tornado it happens so fast that you're scared to death, then it's all over. The clouds lift and the sun shines. It's over. I keep wondering when this tornado will cease to turn.
