Its very weird having all my family together all the time. My older brother is home from college from Chicago which is very weird. During the day we have to be very quiet because my older siblings are doing meetings for college all over the house. Sometimes, my dad is working from home and is on calls or something. My dog has never been happier although that everyone is home! He has lots of energy because everyone is home and nothing is going on; no running around. We have all been lounging around during the day in sweatpants and sweatshirts. We have watched lots of movies, baked lots of goodies, and slept many hours. I think everyone in the house is a little bored and getting anxious staying in the house all day. When the weather is nice you can find my siblings outside playing basketball or going for runs. Lots of family walks with the dog, which he loves obviously!

The first week or so this was happening and nothing was shut down yet, I went to the grocery stores with my mom and the shelves were very empty. The baked goods section was completely empty which surprised me, but of course that was what I was looking for so I can spend some time baking! I also went on a drive with my brother just to get out of the house and the roads were definitely more empty than before. We saw lots of walkers and families getting outside for fresh air. My neighborhood has become very busy as you see lots of little kids playing outside on bikes and scooters as the weather is warming up. My dog loves it too because there are many dogs walking by! He sure is barking lots more because of them! I like to get outside and go for runs too, but a lot of the days have been quite windy which makes it difficult. The weather seems to be more bleak than sunny the past few days which makes me sad. But a little cold doesn't stop many.

Life has obviously drastically changed since we have been forced into quarantine. Me, along with everyone else in the world, really misses normal life. I feel like there is a little amount of activities to do these days because I have exhausted everything I can do inside. There's a little bit of anxiety surrounding the subject because of the unprecedented times we are in, represented by the stress relief candle, which is almost out as irony. The friendship bracelets are something I have been doing a lot recently because it keeps be busy and I can make them for all of my family and friends, when I can see them again. I have also been occupying myself with lots of books to pass the time. Before, I really wasn't reading that much, but I do enjoy it, therefore I've been using this time to pick up reading again. My to do list is very different as well. It used to be filled with activities that involve getting active and being with friends, but now it is much shorter. I don't even work anymore due to the virus temporarily shutting down the daycare I work at, and I miss it. But there is nothing I can do about it except do my work and keep busy.
