The Corona virus social distancing is in full form. Schools are closed or attempting to continue with online learning, many people are off work, and we are stuck in our homes except for essential things. Essential is interpreted pretty widely so far though.
I dropped off a bag of cookies and treats for my mom yesterday. We got lucky and arrived during a shift change, so I spotted one of the staff members from my mom's floor in the parking lot and asked her to deliver the bag to my mom. 20 minutes later I received a text from our favorite person working at Park Regency with a photo and a short video of my mom chomping on cookies and saying that she loves me. Now that puts a smile on my face!
John is stir crazy. He's aware that things are different, but doesn't understand why. He knows there is a virus, so in the last couple of days he thinks his saliva has the virus and wants to spit it out. That's gross and drives me nuts. So I repeatedly tell him to swallow his spit. He wants to wipe his nose with lots of toilet paper all the time, and since toilet paper is a weirdly difficult item to buy, I'm trying to get him to do a whole lot less of that. He doesn't seem to want to use Kleenex. He also washes his hands a lot, then while they're damp he thinks they're sticky and wants to wash them again. Sometimes he wipes his wet hands with toilet paper which doesn't work well for obvious reasons. He continually asks me what we're going to do each day, and I answer that we have to stay home. So this Corona virus has erupted some weird OCD behaviors and it's driving me nuts!
