Day Twenty-One --- Monday, April 13

Day twenty-one (thirty-one)...

We're starting our fifth week of this social distancing/quarantine thing. It's become the normal. It's become the routine. It's become life.

Today we worked. I had a to-do list the length of a football field and both of the boys had a few assignments to complete for school. We spent the whole day working. I'm tired. Anyone else tired?
