Life is weird

so, maybe you’ve heard of this disease called Corona Virus, or Covid 19. It is THE focus of everyone’s lives right now. Life is different than ever right now because of it. The world is in isolation to try to limit the spread. The schools have been closed since Monday. Cory drove down to Rexburg on Monday and picked up Sadie, she was really enjoying her first semester at BYUI, but classes had gone to online only, so we felt she might be better off home in case of disease or whatever, and just in time because the border closed to unnecessary travel just yesterday.
I feel like I am a person who enjoys being home, but when you are not supposed to go out, it’s all you want to do!
The grocery stores are out of a lot of items. There is an incredibly odd shortage of toilet paper everywhere. So far we are good for food and supplies here, we have lots of everything we need. I’ll hold out until next week to do another shopping trip and maybe things will be stocked up again. Maybe!
Maggie had been practicing for months to be in the play Matilda. Tonight was supposed to be the opening night. Since gatherings of more than 10- or is it 50? people aren’t allowed it had to be postponed until June. Hopefully life will be more normal then.
I thought it would be interesting to keep a journal of sorts of how life is during this interesting time in the world, so I will try to update daily with what we are doing- maybe not interesting to others, but it will be neat to look back on and remember what these days were like.
