Day 14 of quarantine

It has been 2 weeks now since we've been out of the house other than for walks around the neighborhood or playing in the backyard. It's been just over a week since the 5.7 earthquake in SLC and we've had many, many noticable (and anxiety producing) aftershocks. Since this week is 'spring break', I've had the kids continue with some of their school work to keep them (and me) in a schedule, but we've had a lot of free time. 

The numbers of Covid-19 in the US are going up by the hour. We now have more cases at 82,000 here than any other country in the world. Utah just crossed the count of 400 cases and one death. The government hasn't made any changes in the past couple of weeks other than stating that schools will remain closed until at least May 1st. 

At home things have actually felt fairly normal other than no playdates or going out. It's starting to feel a bit like the movie 'Groundhog day' in that most days look pretty similar. Considering what we've all gone through lately and what others are experiencing now, I'll take our groundhog days! Owen's 9th birthday is on Saturday and I feel bad that he can't have anyone over for a party but I think we'll have a couple of surprises for him that will help make it special. 

I'll check back in soon, we'll see where life is taking us.
