Quarantine Day 3

My chihuahua is the only thing keeping me tied to my routine. My 6AM alarm is a cold nose pushed to my palm and then 4 excited tiny feet using everything they have to wake up the human.

Every time I move a limb, it's met with a pounce and a wince.

Roll out of bed. Coffee. Facebook.

Still Coronavirus.

I'm already bored of this.

Friends, PLEASE SEND BAD JOKES.

As if by magic (or the universe knowing I needed connection today), a handful of friends have reached out to see how I'm handling it.

I'm not.

You guys, this fucking sucks.

I didn't realize how much I lived off of human connection until I was forced to go cold turkey.

Today is the first day I actually have NO REASON to leave the house, or drive anywhere, or do anything. Not leaving the house has become a civic duty of sorts. The trend is to act as if you are infected and not wanting to infect anybody else. 

I worry about my friends and family and wonder if they are exercising the same abundance of caution.

Today we embraced 'Spring break" for the first time since this began. My kids have had a very unstructured day. You know what? They love it.

Another walk for the dog who is living his BEST LIFE this week.

Another family movie night. 

As of today, there are 119 cases of Covid-19 in Alberta. There is evidence of community transmission. This number likely doesn't reflect actual infection numbers. There are even rumors that some patients may be LYING TO THEIR DOCTORS about symptoms. Seriously?
