How One week in Quarantine has Changed Us
We are on day 7 of our self-imposed Quarantine. After a week, it’s safe to say our lives have changed a bit. Here’s what I’ve observed:
Taking it Easy on Quarantine Days 11 and 12
Day 11 and 12 of quarantine continued to be fairly low key. The weather has been wet, so we’re largely staying indoors. The highlight of my day was a nap in the late afternoon and a number of lengthy phone calls with friends and family.
