Covid-19, Day 17

Friday, March 27, 2020

I did not blog "same day" so forgive me for the lack of "news" and brevity.

Work in the morning, then a family walk after lunch. We walked in our neighborhood and hunted Pokemon. We found the abominable snowman along with some new Pokemon.

Ed and I worked until close to 6 and then I made myself a snack on the patio, then cooked fish for Ed. I can't remember what the kids ate. They never eat what we eat and it is beginning to drive me nuts.  It was the first night in a while that we didn't eat dinner together. 

Chips, guac, and a margarita

Later in the evening, we spoke with Eli who was visiting Dexter. I was saddened to learn that Jennifer, Eli's mom, did not want to let Eli visit his father (per court-ordered visitation) because of the virus. But Dexter has been very careful with cleaning and has been staying home, except to work but only 3 days per week. So he persisted and she gave in, which relieved us all.

Dex played the fiddle for us.
