When the WHO declared the global pandemic, I knew right away that things were going to get ugly. As of March 13th 2020, I have decided that my family needs to go into a bug in situation. This was always the plan, the proverbial trigger has been pulled! Here is a daily update on what we face.
Day 40 –
Well the talk on the news is that Quebec is looking into a gradual reopening. Certain areas that are less affected might be going back to school in a week or two by the sounds of things. Of course, attendance will be optional. As for my kids, I would want a personal tour of the school to see the social distancing practices first, and I would drive them instead of sending them on the bus. Even then, I’m skeptical that this can be done successfully.
The circulars are in with the weekly specials at the grocery stores. Looks like another meat run is in order tomorrow. I’ll do one then, and the wife will do another one Friday. Buying family packs and dividing it up into +/- 1 lb packs saves us a lot of money and makes us look less like the dreaded “hoarders”.
The second round of seed starting is beginning to sprout. Some are coming up, and some just aren’t. The ones that do come up, seem to be doing better in the window rather than under an artificial light. We’ll just have to wait and see what we get out of it and hope that the garden centers can supply the rest.
More news tomorrow…
