Today after dinner some of us went out on a romp to get our wiggles out. As we were on our walk, Chorney stopped to poo and, for reasons none of us will ever understand, ChenXing stopped to sniff at Chorney and Chorney pooed on her head!ChenXing has never been the sharpest crayon in the box, but - really?!? All I could think was, "Yep, of course the dog got poo on her head. That's just par for the course today."
Y'all, this is a heavy time! And it's ok that it feels a hard. Today in Utah the Governor extended the school-from-home period until May 1st. Friday the border between Mexico and the US closed and we cancelled our annual Mexico trip. Thursday Steve was furloughed from his job. We have 6 people working/schooling-from-home in 1700 square feet. I'm desk sharing with my son who is also doing remote school! And I am keenly aware that as rough as all of this is on us, we have it easy compared to many!There's a lot to be grateful for, and more than anything we have confidence because we serve a God who is bigger than every virus, every hardship. It's ok to simultaneously feel blessed and grateful and also the sinking punch-in-the-stomach of shit getting real. I know I've felt a big ol' mix of both these past couple of weeks.
