Sad to Head Home

Doug spent a good portion of this morning moving Cal's furniture out of his house in Bloomington.  He wasn't able to get all of it in the Pilot, but he did find room for a lot of it.  Thankfully Brett had extra space in his second bedroom to fit Cal's queen size bed and extra dresser.  Doug's hope was to pick it up when he brought Meg to school in August when he drives the van down.  He left the cleaning for Cal to do.

Once Doug finished we had just enough time to play Ticket to Ride Germany before leaving for home.  I was really sad to be going back to Syracuse.  Bloomington felt so much safer than our area. Even if we weren't able to go out that much, we least had better food choices, closer grocery stores and a variety of places to take a walk.  I was doubly sad when we left as I wasn't sure when we would be able to go back.  We had already told Meg that once she leaves for school in August, we may not see her again in person until Thanksgiving.  We want a chance to see how much the COVID cases in Monroe County rise once the students get back to campus before making any plans.  Thankfully, Brett will be in Bloomington if she needs him and we can still FaceTime with her which almost feels face to face.  Everyday I pray for an end to this pandemic and a return to our pre-coronavirus life.  I know that it will happen some day.  It just doesn't feel like it will occur any time soon.
