@rosemarya My state has a partial reopening on May 11, but overall not until the end of the month. I intend to change nothing. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled this month but intend to cancel it, it's just a check-up but really not something that can be via phone or video. My hair will have to suffer for a while longer. Beauty salons are being allowed to reopen but I do not intend to go for a while. My son and his wife are trying to figure out how they will visit this summer but I just do not see that happening even though they plan to drive. They would need to self-isolate for two weeks after arriving and there would go their vacation.
The thing I want most is to be able to do my own grocery shopping! We are using Instacart and Whole Foods delivery but it's just not the same as being able to choose your own produce and meat/fish.
@sueinmn Glad you have made it home, and in pretty good time too. By the time this is over I may have long, grey hair.
@gingerw Of course driving that distance will require staying overnight along the way I presume unless you and your husband are like my husband. We used to drive to visit our daughter in college in VA without staying anywhere but that was only about 550 miles.
Fortunately, around here most people are taking this very seriously, as are our relatives and friends.

@contentandwell.. I agree with you about grocery delivery. I miss doing that myself. I got a food delivery from whole foods yesterday, the milk I ordered expires in two weeks, I only use milk in my morning tea and sometimes in my oatmeal. If I am shopping I would looking for milk with a longer expiration date. I was told I can freeze milk. My daughter and son in law came to see me for my birthday next week. The trip usually takes about 90 minutes but with no traffic, they were here under a hour. They met me and my son in a park next to his house. When it got too hot, we moved under the solar panels in the schools parking lot. We all wore masks and sat at a safe distance. It was great seeing them in person although we do video chats. Hopefully next time we see one another, we can give kisses and hugs. My city is doing everything to help us, meals to seniors and disabled. Wellness checks, we have distributed over 11 thousand masks to store employees and anyone who needs one. I just heard that they plan to offer every resident free covid test, symptomatic or not, to make sure we are in a plateau before lifting stay at home. So far people in my city is compliant, unlike our neighboring cities whose residents are demonstrating and openly defying social distancing. My family agreed we can't do anything about that, we can only do what we can to protect ourselves. Stay safe everyone. Pray for the end of the tunnel when we'll see the light again.

@contentandwell Typically we do not stay overnight anywhere on the drive. We might take a few extended breaks at truck stop, but keep going. If we drive the same vehicle, we simply trade off drivers. He has been doing the runs with utility trailer loads of goods since Sept, and only had two trips where he stop overnight in one direction.
