April 2020 has forever impacted and changed those involved in medicine. Today we celebrated the final days of our last month of inpatient medicine together.

My current project

Third grader, Wren Wheeler is finding a unique way to stay connected to her teacher. Her teacher mailed each student a "Flat Mrs. Lamey," and asked them to take photos of themselves with the character. Wren created a whole new classroom for Mrs. Lamey and emailed a photo to her teacher.

Frustrated Covid post I'm nonessential. The Birmingham university my museum is under isn't switching to online and they still have 400+ students living on campus. Ok, so our museum has been closed to the public for almost two weeks and the university has told all employees to work from home BUT us. I'm working remotely a little bit, but all the staff were told to come in today to deep clean the museum, which is an enclosed metal room and that's like ten-plus of us in one room. We have custodial staff who have the materials and knowledge to do this properly, but...

My life for the past weeks and likely many to come, is all about how the community can support our businesses. They are taking heroic steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, knowing the crippling impact it will have on the lives of their employees as well as their business. A job is invaluable when you don't have one.

This is my quarantine selfie and story. I am an Indiana Guardsman currently away on active duty orders. The Army has placed a strong emphasis on social distancing, facial coverings, and sanitization just as the civilian world has.

Mayor Winnecke assembled over 300 breakfast and lunch bags at Cedar Hall Community School during his lunch break on March 18, 2020.

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke signed the COVID-19 Joint Local Emergency Proclamation on March 17, 2020. Moments later, Mayor Winnecke delivered the proclamation, along with Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer and City Attorney Marco DeLucio, to the Board of Vanderburgh County Commissioners. The Commissioners approved the proclamation on a 3-0 vote.

The Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation provided free grab-and-go meals for children under 18 at select schools during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have made adjustments as far as going out. Just small get togethers with close friends and whatnot. But our lives have been severely altered due to this pandemic. We've coped the best we can, but it's still hard to not be able to go out with friends or run to the store whenever we want. Yet even though it's hard, we all are very aware of how it could be much worse. We need to stick together as a nation and as a society now more than ever.

Despite the changing environment COVID-19 has left my business with, I have been able to adapt at an equally swift pace. As an essential business who serves the Tri-State's plastic manufactures, MAC Industrial Services has been poised to mostly maintain a sense of security; to its employees, customers and stakeholders. At times I am uncertain if we can work tomorrow. At other times we are working overtime! This is in the face of our colleagues struggling to keep afloat and the CARES Act slow process. For now, we take it day by day and are honored to be employed.

I am Lead Educator for the Missouri Institute of Regenerative Health out of St. Louis. Our office manager, Stephanie Surplus, surprised me with this gift basket. Snacks, wine and TP.

Lots of bad stuff going on out there in the world; but here in my little corner, my peach tree is blooming.

As a United States Air Force Veteran, I have found the COVID-19 quarantine and coping with all of the restrictions quite easy compared to all of the trainings and combat exposure that I have experienced during my 13-year tenure in the United States Air Force. Adjusting to change was, and still is, quite easy for me. The Air Force has prepared me for every possible crisis and I'm extremely grateful for my hard work and commitment serving my country.

"Shelter In Place" handmade paper, ceramic letters on plastic cutting grid, 2020. I had paper pulp ready to go for my 6th graders for this grading period. Then...So, I froze most of it for later use, but did a few experiments. I cut the house form in a thin sheet of plastic to serve as the deckle and I cast several house forms. As one week turned into two and going into three, the term Shelter In Place was starting to be mentioned quite frequently in the media. I chose to put it on "The Grid" to symbolize that some structure of civilization needed to endure.

The good thing is, everyone gets to know their kids and family. Take a break and actually be a family. Just my thought.

It's unreal. We are not homebodies. And we know nothing will ever be entirely back to normal. We'll adjust to a new normal. But in a way it's been nice to slow down, stay in and be together; that's been the silver lining.

Big life changes here. I'm doing something a little scary. As of this weekend, I will be moving back home to work in the COVID crisis in Detroit for up to 13 weeks. My heart is a little heavy to be temporarily leaving my awesome jobs, apartment, and sunshine. But I am excited to spend time with my family (and friends if this ban gets lifted). Please pray for me as I'm experiencing a mix of emotions leaving this place for a time. Pray for my health and safety working in this hospital. Pray for the risk of the situation and the risk I am taking.

Thankfully the Covid-19 has stayed out of Steuben County, Indiana for the time being. There are people panic buying and there is a certain number of items that are constantly out of stock in the stores. My job has been fairly normal with business as usual but the rain has kept most everyone out of work ever since the 1st of March. I have been working on my parents' house because they're getting older and they can't do it as much as they used to. And in between times in the evening, I am picking my crochet back up and trying to figure out a pattern I've been putting off for years. [Upside-Down Face Emoji] Everybody keeps having babies and this seemed like a simple project that I could quickly do in decent quantities. Life goes on and new little ones are always going to need shoes for those precious little feetsies, especially with summer just around the corner.

I still have to get up and go to work every day. I hope everyone stays healthy out there but we will be here for those who need us.

I had to be quarantined on March 9, because I got pretty sick, so by this point I was running out of things to clean and, considering I haven't been able to attend any of my art classes, I decided to do something fun and make a little baby Yoda! It's all about the little things to make you happy during times like this!

Though I am quarantined, I'm still able to work both my jobs since one doesn't interact with people and the other is considered as an essential. The only thing I'm stressed about is not having a gym but right now trying to turn my backyard into a gym. Ha-Ha

An instacart screenshot seems most apt as I navigate how to figure out how to get the largest amount of needed items in the fewest outings with limited contact with people this pay period. Trying to stay safe and healthy against and invisible enemy that seems tailor made to target your weaknesses and living with people who are still required to go into work is a feeling unprecedented anxiety and vulnerability.
