Well, Easter will be interesting...we always order online from a local restaurant/bakery that is just wonderful. My screen order is blank, they gave me corporate online order number, mail box is full. It's not like we're having a huge family dinner...but darn it, traditions still mean something.
I am not going out to find something "special" for the three of us. I'm disappointed. Oh well...

Good morning! They have projected 3-4 more days of rain...I'm thinking of getting a fire pit just so we can sit out on front porch.
To do:
- coffee, online prayer service for church
- video conference meetings for school smattered throughout the day
- pack up groceries and drop off for ds1 and ds2
- order Easter dinner from local restaurant, decide on pie selection (they offer sugar-free apple or I can make my own keto apple tart)
- visit with my mom...
- pick up pizza on way home, trying to keep Friday traditions alive, bake at home, watch/rent new movie
- read, lounge, browse on the computer
Have a great day!

One of our senior students got an email saying no housing, all classes online to start 2020-2021, until Covid crisis is over. This was a UC campus. I don't have a lot of details...

Our Costco is doing this, as well. Also, you are not allowed to pick up a shopping cart. They spray and wipe it down, give it to you when they check your card. It's the waiting in line that needs work. No markers like in other places to show 6 foot separation.

No paper products to be found in five trips. Lowe's had Lysol wipes and PineSol in an enormous container. We made a Costco run yesterday, they were out of the basic hoarding items, but what they did have was plentiful. The freezer section was full, milk available, only brown eggs, though. The produce has not been fresh, rather wilted and brown. We stocked up on frozen veggies.

Some stuff done, still haven't been able to leave the house yet. Waiting for dh to get home first. Set up Google Voice account to call students/parents. Helping dd plug along on her assignments and stay focused.

Pinterest is a great resource for many patterns. I started with this set of pens. I didn't start with any special paper, just divided my notebook into squares with a ruler.

Dd used Saxon for Algebra I. I will say that Algebra I definitely showed the cracks and weaknesses for dd. We brought her back home in 8th grade, had definitely lost some skills. We repeatedly had to go back to Saxon's Algebra 1/2 for reference. I also used another program to fill in gaps (can't remember which one).
I'd try and stick with it...you've gotten this far. On the SAT, the Heart of Algebra questions are very crucial. I think Saxon does a good job of covering these bases.
Who's going to tackle Saturday with me?

Morning, all!
Looks like all that rain we had for a week is coming to some of you...sorry in advance! Jean, I may have missed it, but are you converting your schoolroom into a new space?
Got a call last night from the restaurant, personally took our order, made some extra suggestions, gave us the first pick up time in the morning. Doing a happy dance!

To do:
I'm so looking forward to a donation place opening up again...the garage is rather full of bags of clothes, books, etc.
Have a great day!
