DAY 62

A quiet day here at Camp Covid-19. Gray and rainy outside, a good time to stay in and relax. We sorted through Miss Nine's summer clothes to see what she has that fits. Surprisingly more than we thought. She made a list of what she needed and then we went online and ordered a few things to fill out her wardrobe. That's my kind of shopping.

We organized her schoolwork, getting ready to turn it in tomorrow. I look forward to school being finished in a few weeks, but I am not sure how we will fill in the days without that to focus on. She had a Zoom meeting with her teacher and classmates yesterday. The teacher talked to the kids about how everyone is struggling with all of the problems related to this stay at home order. I saw on the school Facebook page that they have torn out carpeting at the school and are doing some major updates. I felt kind of encouraged to see that they are preparing for an eventual return to school. I got an email from the superintendent of schools a couple of days ago. He talked about a team of teachers, principals and staff in the district that are planning for in-person instruction, online instruction, a hybrid model and variations of those ideas.

I think first and foremost they need to double the teachers salaries. Those people deserve combat pay on a daily.
