Our Lowe’s and Home Depot is always packed! We go early in the morning around 8-8:30 if we want to walk in. Or you can try an hour before they close. Lots less people both times.

Some businesses in PA were allowed to reopen. The phase 2 counties will be able to reopen on the 8th. Those will be west of us. My neighbor is an ER physician. He said we were looking good, and then some people from NY came to visit relatives. Guess what present they brought? Also some people from a nursing home were sent to one in our county and guess what they brought as well? The county my husband works in is looking better. Hoping he will be able to go back soon.
There is a court case that the Supreme Court is taking where small businesses are contending the governor has overreached. It will be interesting to see where it goes since the court has decided to hear it and not dismiss it. The governor has till Monday to defend his order.

T just called me, super upset... I wrote the wrong time for his Zoom “fun” class meeting today, no school work involved- today was a scavenger hunt, all things pertaining to the 4th grade and their school. He’s been looking forward to this all week long.
Ugh
. I am so mad at myself right now!!!!!!

As with the schools, I’m not surprised that soccer is not happening, just held out a little hope.

I am going to withhold this info from my son, at least for the time being.
We can’t do another 60 days of this. May 29th has to be the end of it!! I don’t think my kid or I can mentally survive much longer. I thank God that we’re healthy, physically... but this is taking such a mental toll. I know I’m just one of millions who are feeling this way. We might all need therapy by the end of it.

Right now it makes sense that people might be doing improvements in their homes and need some materials to do it. As long as they maintain their distance and aren't going there everyday. It is a process and a thing that is necessary to do. Everything right now has pretty much having to be DYI. If they are using the masks and just going in and getting what they need and leaving, making a demand of "stay at home" does not automatically mean all life stops. That for some reason plumbing doesn't break, appliances don't break and so on.
The whole idea of "stay at home" was intended to limit drastically exposure to the public at large. It didn't mean you are now a prisoner and any attempt to leave your home will make you a criminal. Following the spacing and masking directions along with staying home and not being able to go to crowded restaurants or crowded office buildings goes along way to keeping that count down.

Thanks, Figgy...!!!
Oh, how we wish she would stop doin’ that, too, especially during these times.
We see her from a distance often, but, not being able to be silly with her up close, and hold and hug her for so darn long has been downright painful.
When we see her, you can tell from some of the looks on her face that she doesn’t understand why we aren’t doing those things right now.
A few months isn’t the end of the world, but, it’s still time you can never get back.
Anyhoo, enough carping.
The important thing is we’re all still healthy, relatively
happy, and, hopefully, a new “norm” isn’t all that far away...!!! Although, a new Norm just won’t be quite the same...!!!!!

That’s exactly it though, it’s more of a “social distancing order”. Not stay at home.. people don’t have to stay home. I guess there’s not really an applicable term, so “stay at home” sounded like a catchy phrase
The Menards here just started requiring masks. Don’t worry, if you don’t have one they’ll sell it to you for $1....

I really wish that we were requiring masks for all visitors. We have tables set up with masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer... but we are leaving the use of it to the visitor’s discretion.
I’m just dumbfounded that now that most places have peaked, now we are requiring masks. Seems like this should have been implemented a while ago.... But once again, I’m guilty of crazy talk....

How do you know it has peaked? We do this stuff to make it remain peaked.
That’s what they’re saying here. But I think maybe the masks should have been in place for a while....

No argument there! It also has a lot to do with just who "THEY" are. Some are more credible then others.

I agree, completely!! Businesses are now required, but the general public is not.. private businesses can make their own requirement for customers or guests.
