2020-03-09Diane's Coronavirus Diary
I began this journal March 9, 2020, two days before New Mexico's first confirmed COVID-19 cases. March 9 was my husband and my 19th wedding anniversary and the day we last shopped for groceries. This originated as a Pages document on my iPad. I am writing to document this experience, not knowing how things will turn out for us and our family. I am writing as a way to explore my own responses to the pandemic. I have shared responses from my daughter to my journal in a couple of places in the journal. 3/09/2020 through 5/10/2020 and ongoing. My husband and I are retired and recently moved to a new neighborhood. We have absolutely LOVED our time here. We are located just a block from the University of New Mexico and just four short blocks from the Nob Hill district. We are within walking distance of many restaurants and are just minutes from several bus lines. We would often hop on the bus to downtown or uptown. We haven't ridden the busses since early March, we haven't been to a restaurant either. Our granddaughter is living with us full time, now, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her mother, my daughter, is a respiratory therapist at a hospital. [curator's note]: from the "Tell us More" page on Omeka net.
