Sometimes you stock up on things and regret it.
Sometimes it turns out to be great.
Someone had 1000 piece puzzles, unopened, listed on Facebook Marketplace for $3 each months ago. I bought them all.
When youngest used to come home for college breaks, she enjoyed family jigsaw puzzles.
Coming home for break may now be a thing of the past.
She was one of the first college sent home, three weeks ago.
The governor understood early on what was at stake. Her university president acted very quickly. At 9pm on a Tuesday he said grab only what you need to finish the semester online at home and everybody out by 6pm Wednesday.
I drove there in the wee hours that Wednesday, way before dawn. We loaded her car/my car, with us, her roommate, the roommate’s dog, plants, everything from the refrigerator, text books, lap tops, electronics, medicine and were gone before we saw a soul.
Obviously, had we known, we would have taken another car and gotten more.
Her stuff is in permanent limbo on campus.
All summer programs were canceled, including the last rotation of her engineering coop. Summer classes are online. We are pretty sure fall classes will be online too. It is her fifth and final year. Chemical engineering (5 year program) and Spanish double major.
So she is immersed in finishing her semester online. Middle and my husband have been working from home for almost two weeks. Oldest and his girl have been working from their home even longer.
And we do puzzles.
