Little Feet: Covid-19, Day 22: I can't get it outta my head

April 1, 2020

Once again, Ed and I worked hard today. So did the kids. Gill is working to keep up with the flurry of new information - what classes are offered, and when, and how to sign on, and what assignments are due on what day. I asked him for his email password; he's been missing things because he's not checking his email. He received 14 important, very relevant emails between 10am-2pm today. Which is ridiculous for a 9 year old.

Tid bits: Jonas stayed in his "alien" pajamas (union suit with hoodie, complete with antennae) all day. He took a bath, and put them back on. Gill will only eat cereal, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, nachos, gumbo juice and rice, or anything sweet. No sandwiches, no quiche (which I made from scratch for him), no grilled cheese, no roast beef, or breaded chicken, etc. It's so frustrating. I'm ready to let him starve. Seriously. He eats the school lunch no matter what it is. Why does he do this at home?

Biggest news of the day: Ed and I changed the fuel pump in the Corvair, and got it running! It look all of 20 minutes. Then we had to charge the battery, replace the air filter, back it out of the garage (for the 1st time in a year!), air up the tires, which were at 15 psi, clean the windshields, wipe it down, and take it for a spin. Now to get it inspected and renew the plates. And list it for sale.

No one really played an April Fools on anyone else. When the kids are in school, the come home with "Poisson d'Avril" which is the French April Fool's day, and somehow involves....fish.

Crossing our fingers for luck!

Ed and I had dinner in the front yard. Sitting in chairs, drinking our beer, eating homemade Ethiopian. The Johnson family walked by (their cat had been lurking earlier so it felt like they were fully represented) and we yell-visited across the yard.

As we ate, I happily discovered that the tulip bulbs I dug out of the trash at the beautiful Kauffman gardens last summer, then planted last October, are blooming! I had so many that I spread them all over the yard. Gotta love free!
