I woke up this morning at 7:30 today. I went down stairs, and made some Eggos. Mom got a call from Grandma. A few minutes later she hung up. She said that at 10:00 we had to go to the West Vigo to the I.G.A there to pick up some toilet paper that grandma had picked up for us. And some paper towels. Those things are hard to get right now. There are some hoarders out there that think that it is the end of the world. And then you have your people that have been preparing for the apocalypse. Well we all packed in the car at 10:00 to go there. When we got there, grandma tolled mom that there were notes on the rolls of toilet paper that said that you can only take one package per person. Donald Trump said that by Easter he wants to send everyone back to normal. But I do not think that I am ready for that yet. Mom has been loosely home schooling me and Jed. I have to read everyday for 20 minutes. And I also have to wright everyday for 20 minutes too. And then I have to do math on a math app on my mom's iPad. Jed has to do a daily challenge that his teacher sends to us. He also has some homework that his teacher, Ms. Cara sent out and he is really exited about because this is his first time having homework, and he is always pretending like he has homework to do after school. I think that is because he sees me having homework, and he thinks that "big kids" do it. I really hope that things get better soon!

Yesterday we got a midmorning call from my mom. She was at the grocery store. My first instinct was to get frustrated that she was at the store putting herself in harms way! After she assured me that she was taking all kinds of precautions I allowed myself to get excited because she was able to score us some toilet paper and some paper towels! They had a limit of one per person, but they let her purchase for her daughter. We met her half way, at the West Vigo IGA parking lot. I had some hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes for her so we met to exchange our goods. My mom looked absolutely adorable with her new bob haircut and her new truck. We gave "air hugs" and she talked to the kids from the car. It did my heart good to get out into the world a little bit and see my mom from afar.
I checked in on Peggy yesterday and she said they were doing ok. Dad is also doing great. All is well.
I've really been tuned into what is bringing me joy lately. I've noticed more than ever that exercise and movement are very important to my mental well being. I've been making it a point to do some exercise each day. My Zumba instructor has been live streaming her workouts so we can do them at home. That's been so nice. The sun came out briefly yesterday morning. Long enough for me to take my coffee outside and stand in the yard. I walked all around looking at new life popping up. Thank goodness it's spring. Today has been sunny and much warmer, around 60 degrees. We spent a few hours outside today. We played, picked up a little in the yard and the kids painted garden stones. I sucked up as much sunlight as I could. I thrive on sunlight. It does wonders for me. I went on a long run around the neighborhood in the evening.
It's been so wonderful to see how people are reaching out and helping others during this time. I've heard the phrase "we are all alone together" a lot lately and it's sort of comforting. I was able to listen to Pastor Bob give a message last Sunday from our computer and then video chat with the girls from my Sunday School class afterwards. Technology is very helpful in this current space and time.

Is there any new zombies in Zombies Vs. Plants 3? and do you know if there is any new plants? Do you know if there is any new levels? We've been staying around at home. Because the coronavirus is going around. I've been playing with my family, I'm like, playing Zombies Vs. Plants 2 so I can get to Zombies Vs. Plants 3. Is there new helmets on the Zombies?
