Today was another long, long day, but we made it another week. Bella made me breakfast, I worked and worked, and at around 5:00 Lionel, Sofia, and I took Zoey for a walk. This morning it was raining, but this afternoon they sun came out and the weather was super mild. I wish it could stay like that.

Today is gray outside. It was also a long day at work, so I am feeling pretty beat physically. Mentally I think I am still Ok. When I finally finished working at 5:00 pm Sofia and I took a quick 15 minute walk around the neighborhood before it started to rain. Since the weather wasn't great we barely saw anybody, which was Ok. The flowers didn't look as vibrant as when the sun is out, but they were still pretty.

Today is a a beautiful, beautiful day. I worked Europe hours again, so I got up at 3:45 am. Throughout the morning Bella made me breakfast, and Sofia brought me a cute little yarn mouse she made for me. Since it looked so beautiful outside I finished working earlier than the last 2 days, like at 2:00 pm. Bella and I jumped on the trampoline, the 3 girls, the dog and I took a walk through the Ault Park trails, and I started our vegetable garden. Lionel also got outside to get some fresh air and clean the yard.

Today was day 2 of my Europe working hours and it went pretty well. Once you are up you are up, and it was nice to finish the day at a decent time. The girls didn't do anything productive - that I know of - but I guess that is Ok because this week is technically their spring break.
After everybody woke up I spent most of the day in my room, where at least I have a pretty view of the street. Bella brought me guacamole and chips as a mid morning snack, and I found one of my massage balls to play with.
After I stopped working Bella and I were going to go outside and jump on the trampoline, but it started raining. We did find a jumping rope in the basement instead, and entertained ourselves with it for a little while before dinner.

Today I got up at 3:45 am to start working at 4:00 am. I worked from the couch and the kitchen until about 9:30 am. By then Lionel was also on the phone and speaking super loud, so I grabbed all my stuff and moved to our bedroom. I was there until about 2:30 pm, so I have no idea what everybody did before then. But I know it involved getting up late. At that time the girls and I had lunch, I took Emma to the post office to mail some of her stuff back home, and the girls and I went running while Lionel walked the dog.
After running Sofia, Bella, and I practiced lacrosse. Or more like Sofia trying to show us how to catch. It wasn't super warm, but it was nice enough outside. And the sun was out.

This afternoon we had our last family outing in a while. Lionel had told Emma that he would take her to see his college, Miami University, but for one reason or another we hadn't made it there yet. However, since Emma is supposed to leave soon, and this could be her last weekend with us, we made it there today. We walked around for a little bit over an hour. Keeping our distance from other people was not a problem, since the school is now closed and there were very few people around. The football stadium was open, so we got to walk in and take a couple of pictures.
As we were driving back home, my friends texted me that the governor has issued an order to stay at home starting tomorrow at midnight. Not surprising at all. I think we all knew that it was coming. So before heading back home we stopped by to get more groceries. Trader Joe already had a line outside, as they were only letting in a few people at the time. It wasn't too bad, but I am assuming that tomorrow there will be a mad rush at every grocery store. A rush I plan to avoid.

This morning Zoey and I went to Ault Park for a walk. The sun was out, and the trees are blooming now. It was cold, and only 8:30 in the morning, so except for a few walkers and runners the place was all ours. When I am walking Zoey I don't listen to music, or talk on the phone. It is just me, Zoey, and the outdoors. So our morning walk was peaceful and nice.
