Week 2: COVID-19 Quarantine

So we're at week 2 of self-quarantining due to the COVID-19 pandemic and things are a bit messier.

We've (temporarily) lost R and B, our ABA therapists. Their agency has closed so we're on our own. Today, I gave Swe-cha his worksheets and daily journal to complete and while there were complaints, he did finish them by himself. I will need to sit down with him a bit later today to work on the more difficult sheets.

On the home front, we have a healthy supply (from pre-COVID-19 days) of food and groceries except for milk. Swe-cha chugs down a lot of milk and Costco is limiting the purchase of  Lactaid to 1 container / person. So far, the workaround seems to be getting 1 whole milk and 1 low fat (the limit is 1 container on each variant) and then just mixing them up together before serving. No complaints so far.

I also had a realization that while we thought we have plenty of rice in stock, that may not be the case. We're still good, no worries for the immediate future, but I will have to consider buying another bag of rice if/when we get the chance. I've found that I've been cooking rice more often now that we've been having 2 rice meals at home per day instead of just dinner. Also, not getting takeout is also putting a serious dent in our rice supply.
