I don't know about you guys but this has been one of the longest weeks ever. With schools closed and work moved to home, this has been a new way of living. When the changes and shutdowns came just before last weekend, there was no time to really process the information. Within days, life had changed. And then on Monday, I reported to work, from my home, with kids also at home.

How work still had to be done remotely or worse, there was no work to do anymore due to layoffs or a shutdown. How there was not going to be any dining in restaurants for months.

Loved The Help, and I love your comment about "zilch." I've been glued to the Olympics on TV since Friday and haven't read one page since then. Luckily I read a bit before then :) Have a great week.
