Day 1

Lots of possibilities to accomplish lots of things by staying home from work until May 1 (that's my guess as to when we might be back at work).

I started the day by hitting up the Hyvee at 5AM. They open an hour earlier than Pick n Save, so they got my money ($120). I found the front of the store mostly devoid of produce. A couple interesting observations while looking for Orange Peel....they were out of Crushed Red Pepper, meaning there is going to be a lot of pizza eating. When I checked out, the nice lady said yesterday (Friday the 13th) was the highest revenue day in that location's history. She was unclear what to do with her kids when school is planned to be out on Wednesday. She has a 16, 10, 7 and 2 year-old...and she has to work at Hyvee, so she can't take time off.

I was able to find most everything I needed (wish I would've found potatoes). I had been hoarding pull ups and had bought enough paper towels and toilet paper after reading an article a few weeks back that those were items that we would eventually be hoarding.

It was a cold day (high of 37F), so son and I spent some time at the park on the swings and slides.
In the afternoon, we all went for a ride to New Glarus. Son got some sleep in the car. We drove through New Glarus Woods State Park and then back to New Glarus to walk downtown and to play in the park.




Not sure what Monday will bring. Will see if I can make something productive of my planned time off....or if this blog just fizzles and we never really social distance ourselves...
