  The Week of Baking

  This week I have done nothing but school work and bake. I have had so many reciepes that I have wanted to try for so long, and I finally have the time. They have all come out pretty good, except my sister burnt one batch of peanut butter cookies. This week the Stimulus package is supposed to be distributed, so we will see how long that takes. We also found out this week that there has been a federal addition to unemployment, which will help a lot of Americans keep their homes and vehicle payments on track. This is honestly turning into quite the financial disaster, especially if the government does not make good on their promise.

  Ghost Town

  Today was the first day I have left my house since the stay at home order was placed in New York. I did not expect things to be this quiet. I live in a busy-ish town and there was nobody on the road on my way to the grocery store. We have picked today to run all of our errands so we can limit our time outside. People in the grocery stores are all wearing masks and gloves, and the vibe is very off. People are scared of getting too close, scared of touching things, scared to bring their children in the store. I have checked on my aunt who lives in the next town and is a recovering cancer survivor, and she is doing well and doesn't need anything from the store. As of right now, there is no end in sight to this stay at home order.
