Thoughts on day 1 of working from home

[knit1purr2]

I am lucky enough that I can telework while this whole COVID-19 Pandemic thing is raging on. So does Kyle. But daycare is closed for at least 2 weeks. That is the hard part. 

I am trying to see what I can do to still give kiddo a decent schedule that still allows both Kyle and I to get some work done. This is the point that I wish that kiddo was a little older and was a bit more self sufficient. But we are making it work. Cause we have to. 

I am not sure how much help I am willing to accept from the grandparents because they are in the higher risk group and kiddo does not social distance well. Also I want to try and keep our family as safe as possible. 

And of course this means that today was the day that my car battery died. So Kyle had to jump it and then he ordered a new battery for pick up at the store. Thankfully I have been extra vigilant about not touching my face while out of the house and washed my hands as soon as I got home.

Now I am just super tired and still should be online working for the next hour and a half. but I am honestly just aiming for 4 pm, because I started early and I need a little bit a time for me. 

More thoughts to come.

Oof. I feel you on the social distancing calculus. Like "It's probably okay for me to see this friend, but have they been safe? How about the people they live with?" Shutting down and becoming a hermit feels like the best answer but also...ugh.

I think this may be the time to say "okay, screen time limits are now doubled so long as you can let parents get work done in that time!".
