COVID-19 Day 3: The start of home school :)

Today, we made a temporary schedule. I'm sure as things settle down, we'll tweak it, but here's our plan for the next little bit:

6am - anyone who wants to can go jogging with Dad. This is what you can do when you don't have Seminary!!
7am - breakfast, piano practice, clean room, etc. You know, all the stuff you're supposed to do before school
9am - some time to work on personal goals or do some service
10 - 3 - School work with lunch in the middle.
3pm - Exercise! This is literally the part of the day we're all most excited about. Go play tennis, basketball, or something active as a family.
4pm - down time
5pm - get ready for dinner, clean the house

Sam took about 30 minutes to finish all his school work for the day. He did about 10x more reading than he normally does, because that's what you do when you finish your school work early :) Bwahahah.... Everyone else kept pretty busy throughout the whole day. We'll see if that lasts all week long or not.

My favorite part of the new schedule is the way we are exercising. That's something that's been squeezed out of our lives, but now that you can't do anything else, you might as well be healthy! It's great!

Marriner's lab hasn't closed, they've just encouraged everyone to telework as much as possible. Marriner loves it - he can go in and do his experiments without seeing or being interrupted by anyone. He's trying to get as much experimentation done as he can before the lab may decide to actually close, then he can stay home and write papers.

Ok, back to normal life! See ya later!
