Social distancing.... birthday day. (20)

A very Thursday birthday. 

We started with our yoga, per usual. The dogs were very much in the way today! 

Siobhan again got right down to work. Connor and aisling also did a lot of school work today. 

Today was a long work day. I spent the day tracking down lots of families to discuss technology to determine who needs what for remote learning to start next week. While making phone calls is way outside of my comfort zone, families were all kind and happy to hear from me. That was nice. Nevertheless, it was a very long day in front of the computer. 

I did take a break to give connor a haircut. This was definitely harder than siobhans haircut, but he still looks handsome.

And, finally, today was my birthday! It was a nice day. We did a zoom call with Kevin and the girls. He got me a new game for my birthday so we played that. It was chaotic fun. :) 

We also did some cake and gifts. 

While it wasn’t a typical day, it was a day where i felt loved and spiked nonetheless. 

I heard on the news tonight that recommendations are for people to start wearing masks. I think tomorrow I’ll order materials to make some masks for those. I’m not a great sewer, but hoping I can make them work. 

Hope eeeyone is staying safe. Thanks for the birthday wishes. 

Social distancing... day 19

Wednesday. 

Today was another hard one. Siobhan struggled a lot today. She asked if she could skip class work today and work on her mental health and I allowed it.

I didn’t have any emails or meetings all day so I spent my day focused on her. She tried a new tap class today. She did awesome but got in her own way when she didn’t do well. So she took a break from that. But it was great to watch her keeping right up with connor!

We worked on a sign for a friend’s birthday parade today! We ended up being late to the parade, but we were a parade of one! Happy birthday molly!

It was nice to get out of the house for a while. 

Today was also the day Siobhan decided she needed a haircut! 

I ended up cutting off about five inches. It looks really healthy. It’s definitely uneven but hey, it’s a pandemic! 

We took our usual walk tonight although it was just the girls today. Al ended up going to work to set up beds in case of temporary quarantine, which seems more and more possible. 

Connor also went to the studio tonight to teach his class. He did a Facebook live video (with siobhan as his partner) 

I also had a crazy evening working on contacting families regarding access to technology to begin remote learning. This was extremely stressful for a number or reasons. But we will see how it all goes. 

All in all an emotional day again. Taking it all one day at a time. Today was April fools day and I just didn’t have it in me for fooling anyone. 

I hope everyone had a good day.
