Almost To The End of 3rd Quarter

You may have noticed I have not been blogging as much.  I am a little stressed out about all of this Coronavirus stuff.  We already homeschool, but I am still working, as is my son and my husband just started working at home.  I am a nurse, by trade, and I have kidney disease, so I am stressed, to say the least.  I don't want to not work, but I am scared of catching it as people are dying of kidney failure.  I have created a Family Care Plan so they know the steps that need to be taken to care for me should I get sick.  My son works in retail, and they just started limiting the number of people in the store, and I am grateful they are doing that.  I am disinfecting my house daily with alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or bleach, whichever I can find in the stores.  I am also crocheting face masks for my family to use at home if needed and if it comes to it in public as well. 

We are coming up on the end of our 3rd quarter the week of Easter.  I did give Caitlin a week for spring break, as her friends were out of school.  She only got one, though, they got 2.  We are limiting friend time to only outside, in groups no more than 3 and with strict social distancing.  If we start seeing cases in our county that too will end.  She has finished her Sign Language course, so I will be signing her up for Driver's Ed if I can even get her in it due to all the new homeschoolers.  She had also moved on to Algebra 1B and is doing well with that.  Everything else is the same, though History is definitely morphing into learning about being a good citizen and staying home to protect other citizens.  I had her watch the youtube video below on the Spanish Flu so she could see how awful a pandemic can be when people don't do as they should.  Also how our local, state and federal governments are dealing with the Pandemic. 

I am irritable and grumpy but trying to keep life as normal as possible right now.  I have started a Mindfulness course to learn about it and implement it for me and anyone else who needs to relieve stress, which might be everyone right now.  I also think I am going to write a book on homeschooling.  I will use the info I have collected over the years in this blog and other places. 

I hope everyone who reads this is well.

The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson

Well since this week has mostly been about Impeachment in Current Events, that is what I shall discuss.  I am recording a little bit each day of the trial of Donald Trump for Caitlin and me to watch together.  But, I wanted to cover the other Impeachment Trials in USA History first.  There are two videos in the series, both about an hour-long.  We will be watching these tomorrow after we go check out a dog rescue to volunteer at. 

This is part of Civics and Government courses for homeschool high school purposes.
