Walled in
I love this image because it represents an event that never would have occurred had we not all been home together. My husband was on a conference call with the doors to his office shut. While on the call, my son built a wall in front of the door. My husband literally had no idea it was happening. Shows that during all of this craziness we can still have some great laughs! -

Masks and Backpacks
I took this picture because it demonstrates a new reality alongside the old. Masks hung up to be taken when we go out, next to the backpacks that haven't been touched since school was canceled. -

University of San Francisco Acceptance Letter
Attached you will find my admission letter to the School of Nursing and Health Professions at the University of San Francisco. Upon writing this entry, I have been admitted and secured my spot at the institution. I was admitted approximately one month ago, during the crisis itself. This photo of my admission letter is beyond meaningful to me even more so because of the circumstances we all are now facing. My passion for nursing has always been the driving force for how I conduct my school efforts. Despite my extensive family size, I actually am one of the first to enter the medical profession. I was inspired to enter into this field in high school when I shadowed a fellow family friend. I visited her at the Mercy San Juan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and immediately was drawn to this unit. From that day, I never could consider any other field of study. I am in continuous awe of those on the frontlines, especially nurses and doctors. Upon admission to nursing school, typically clinicals would be a part of one’s first-semester curriculum. Due to the pandemic, my clinicals have actually been pushed back an additional semester. With nursing school especially, and the current incoming cohorts curriculum has drastically shifted. I point this out because no matter how big or small, in some way each of our lives has been changed by this event. At this point, I'm unaware if even my first semester will be held on campus. There is a rather high chance I will be online for my first semester of nursing school. All of our lives right now are for lack of a better word “tentative”, who knows how things will change or when things will resolve to normalcy. #CSUS #HIST15H -

"6 Feet Apart" Song from Luke Combs
This music video of the song “6 Feet Apart” from Luke Combs serves as a message for gratitude during the pandemic crisis. With our constantly busy lives, we often take certain things like family time or going to a restaurant for granted. In times like this, we are reminded that all the little things are privileges and we should cherish them the most. -

At Home Graduation
A plethora of graduation decorations I acquired in order to celebrate my husband's canceled college graduation from home. Being the first in his family to graduate from college deserved to be celebrated, even if in our own backyard. -

Our mask station by the door
This is the mask station we have created near the door. It has everything we need to streamline the process of PPE both leaving and coming back in the house. There is a bag with coffee filters to use as mask filters plus a pair of scissors to cut them and medical tape for the bridge of our noses ; my partner and I wear glasses and this prevents fogging. There are hangers for drying masks when they have been boiled and a reclaimed cell phone holder we call "The Mask-ed Man" that holds masks which are ready to be worn. We have already collected several different styles of mask from homemade to bought on Etsy to made by a large swimwear company to a scarf repurposed for emergencies. It still takes at least 5 minutes to get out the door now and 15 to come back in but this little station has made it a bit more convenient. -
