garnigalMy office at work is a shared room with 2 others (including the COO), and no privacy to speak of. So I haven`t been on LJ in months.
However, on Monday, the university finally said anyone who can work from home should work from home, so here I am, with no one looking over my shoulder.
We are `social distancing` in our home, which is fun with a 6 year old. Playgrounds are now closed (early research shows the virus can live on plastics for days), so we are down to walking if we go outdoors. We have enough to get us through 2 weeks easily, 3 if we are willing to force our kiddo to eat something outside her norm. She`s mostly annoyed with the staying indoors while Derek and I work, but as we get closer to her birthday, I imagine there will be tears that she can`t get presents from friends and family.
Ontario has a lot of cases, though mostly centered in Toronto. However, grapevine is that there are a lot more that haven`t been confirmed, and chances are good that school is out until September. We are going day by day, figuring out what each closure means in terms of our employment and child care.
Be well.
