How is Everyone?

[MyAngels]

Our governor just extended the stay home order for another month, and now has decided face masks are mandatory when out and about .

I was ghosted by one family on payment that I actually never saw coming, but whatever. Now I can apply for unemployment, if my state ever gets around to opening it up for the self-employed

I applied for the PPP this morning, but who knows how that will go

I applied for EIDL too, but never heard anything back

On the plus side, I'm getting plenty of exercise rolling my eyes at all this ::::

yea we are trying to keep a bit of curriclum. We do group twice daily (basically a book, a song, and a color game). We do a art project too. Thats about it, a whole lot of outside time and playing.

Our governor is allowing bars, restaurants, stores, etc. to open this weekend. :confused:

My state is NOT ready for this!!!

I’m still open. Attendance is down but clients are still paying as they are getting paid to stay home.

I’m not taking drop-ins for now. The one I had was a pain and it was a project to get paid, too. I’m not missing that. I encouraged parent to use this time to find another provider, but nope. I don’t think anyone else wants to put up with them either.

I still have no idea when parents will go back to work or when school will open. I’m not looking forward to it.

In my state, we have to wear masks whenever we’re within 6 feet of anyone so that means all providers and children over 2 in daycare. The only masks I can find are homemade. I hope parents will be able to provide masks for their kids when they come back because that is not another responsibility I plan to take on. The cost of doing business is making it not worth it.

I’m still trying to work out how we will have meals. Obviously difficult with a face mask. I don’t have the room to keep the kids 6 feet apart and feeding in shifts is gonna take me the whole day with the dawdlers.

Kids are doing schoolwork at home and parents are overseeing them. I hope they don’t expect the same of me because they will be disappointed. I have two one-year old twins that are into climbing. Can’t take your eyes off them for a second.

Depends on what part of the state you live.

The metro areas need to do additional things in order to maintain the safety and health of employees and the public but if they can make changes and alterations to the way they do things it is not unrealistic to partially re-open

Yeah I live in the big metro area in my state, there are going to be new guidelines for physical distancing. I just hope everyone's smart about it.

Plus, it's not said yet whether or not the Gov will or won't extend the stay at home orders that expire this weekend.

There is nothing yet set that says the state WILL open.
I have seen some non-essential businesses be allowed to open as they aren't heavily involved with the public.

But the Gov is more hesitant to do the same for eat-in establishments, concert halls and other places where people congregate.

Our gov. Made the announcement on Monday that the first business to open is dental offices starting on Friday. But In the same sentence says we don’t have enough PPE for our medical staff. The following week construction and manufacturing jobs and then the following week is all retail stores. He just made it mandatory to wear masks to enter any business or you will be denied entry. 🤦🏼*♀️ So this entire time it’s been highly recommended and now mandatory. Still on a stay put order through phase 2. I am so ready for normalcy!
