April fools day and no one is playing any jokes. Just one more day to,get through until the day when we start to see a decline in reported caronavirus cases. Peak here in NY is still two to four weeks away. And daily life is on hold. No job to go to. No trips to…
Just one day after the next. There will be an end to staying at home during this pandemic. But not for a while. We are being told stay at home until at least April 30. So just another day of watching the news, taking walks and video chats. It’s not easy. But I’ve been told…
