If possible, I believe this thing is dividing us more than uniting us. There are those that make the point that the lockdown/quarantine/shelter-in-place is a uniting factor - "Let's beat this thing together" - but more and more I am seeing hateful comments particularly by those who want to see this disruption continue.
President Trump said in the last few days that he wants to see the country reopen in weeks, not months, and the comments are absolutely hateful. One commenter on a local news FB page said that "if you agree with this, stay the hell away from me or my family." Mark my words, in the coming days we are going to see more and more people ignore the shelter in place orders because, frankly, we are beginning to question the motive.
After Sadie's homeschooling and a bit of work by myself and Stephanie, we had lunch and played Lord of the Rings edition of Monopoly. Stephanie won. Sadie spent a bit of time playing the game with her Baby Pens.
It was warm today, and humid. The rain has certainly greened everything up!
We got a bit rebellious in that we went to town to Sarah Mae's Fabrics for some materials that Stephanie wanted for a project, and then took the drive-through at Bottle Cap Alley, which is selling burgers for 40% off (due, presumably, to the fact that they have meat that needs to be used or sold with the lack of visitors to their dining room).
The movie tonight was Willow on Disney+. Sadie hasn't seen it, and it was a better option than rewatching The Hobbit movies so soon again.
Lady Stephanie's account of the day:
Day 10:
The day was sunny, and we dared to leave the keep. We smuggled some fabric from a local peddlar and food from a tavern. They quietly passed our evening repast out a window and we quietly took our treasured items home.
I continue to instruct the princess in her lessons. The Laird insisted a game that instructs economics in a competitive manner would be gay entertainment. It caused the princess tears and frustration. I will say I soundly beat the Laird in this game. He suggested a different game tomorrow.
