Prep for Coronacation.

Some pictures from our shopping preparation for the impending Coronacation:


This was my cart during the day on Thursday March 13.


Becky went to Home Depot after work that same day and purchased the above small fridge/freezer for our basement. It has been a huge help.



Ally's beloved gymnastics coach and her family left very unexpectedly for Columbia on March 13. The gym was closed indefinitely and things were looking bleak for the foreseeable future.
So we got the girls together for one last time before we were all under stay at home orders. That night  all of their schools closed.




That is Ally, the oldest on the team with Mari, the youngest. They have a special bond.



Later that night as panic set it, Becky went out to the grocery store. She loaded up on frozen fruit for smoothies and cheese.




This was the paper goods aisle.



And the only toilet paper left in the store. Becky did buy one of these packs.

Turns out this would be the last time went to the store. I am writing this on April 20 and Becky and I have not been shopping inside a grocery store since March 13.
I work hard - sometimes it takes me a couple of hours to get all of our groceries delivered, or ready for curbside pick up.
Its crazy, and we have a bit of a cooperative with a couple of neighbors to make sure everyone has what they might need and shop for others.
Kim and Mark have been our fruit and beer buddies.
Angelita (Sophocle's mom - we hooked her up with Easter candy and eggs for her to fill and hide for Sopho, and she got me my favorite spring rolls art Trader Joe's this week)

It takes work, but we are committed to not go shopping inside a store.

Note that Becky did go to Microcenter, an electronics store on April 16 because Daisy chewed the only charger we have to one of our laptops. The laptop was what Ally uses to take her online school classes with, so having the battery die was kind of an emergency. Becky went right away, got a new cord, and another laptop. Now that we are 6 weeks into the shut down with many more to go it seemed that having one laptop for each of us was going to be important. And now that I have one I can use all the time I am getting caught up with the blog! Win win!
