When the governor placed Indiana in phase two of reopening the state, we decided to take a week longer than most to change any of our quaratine rules. Today was the day that we decided would be reserved for getting a big pop. The four of us had stayed away from all fast foods and gas stations since the Stay at Home order was first mentioned which greatly limited our access to getting any type of treats. I had told Cam and Meg today that if we got their bedrooms and bathrooms cleaned that we make a big pop run to Crystal Flash in North Webster. They were definitely all in, especially Meg who had successfully finished her Freshmen year of classes last night when she completed her Calculus final.
It was strange for all of us as we set off on our mini-adventure armed with hand sanitizer, face masks and Clorox wipes. I had fun listening to Meg and Cam talk on our way. The topics ranged from the most current Tik-Tok videos that Meg had watched to the number of Pokemon that Cam had caught in the past few days. Except when the two of them ran into the gas station with their masks on, I almost forgot all about COVID-19. I know in the past that both of them probably would have thought that our big day out was lame, but today was different. It was fun hanging out together outside of our home. Plus we felt like we had turned a small corner on our self imposed stay at home order.
