Look he also likes to help granny to keep her bathroom clean. 

Jimmy and I are still in lockdown. We have the same routines on the weekdays: get up, work, and sleep. It is not easy to go out nowadays as most of the stores and shops are closed or closed earlier than before. Our local Walmart is no longer 24/7, so we can't buy groceries anytime we want.  Since a lot of services are no longer available, Jimmy and I had to learn new skills. We together trimmed his hair. He looked like a monk at the end, really bald. 

I also got new habits like eating a lot of junk food and watching Chinese drama on YouTube or Netflix. Ah, these Chinese actors and actresses are very good looking. My favorite Chinese actress (who does not look Chinese) is Dilraba Dilmurat. The first show I saw her in was Eternal Love on Netflix, and she played a red fox. She will be forever known as the red fox to us. There are several Chinese actors I like, and they are Deng Lun and Zhang Bin Bin. They are all about my age, and very handsome...wish to meet them in Shanghai one day! 

We managed to get something done around the house. We mowed the lawn, cleaned after our animals, and did our laundry. We recently had a Memorial long weekend. We drove from Upstate New York to South Carolina and looped back from Tennessee. We originally planned to visit Florida, but its border closed to New Yorkers. I was also looking forward to some South Carolina boiled peanuts, but coronavirus said no boiled peanuts for me. 

Last but not least, I have to Thank God that both of us still have jobs. We are big spenders, so we can't live without paychecks. Amen. 

My baby Kieran has been away from me for a while. He is still in Canada, and we are unsure when the border is going to reopen. We've been video chatting on WeChat, and I can tell that he is growing fast! He can do a lot of things now, from pretending signing papers to playing tennis. I am so proud to be his mama. He is currently living with his grandparents (Jimmy's parents), and thank goodness he has a little auntie who can play with him. They have become best friends. 

Let's take a look his happy moments:

He can climb like a monkey!

While he is away, I have more time to watch shows on Netflix. So, thanks to Netflix, it got me into Chinese dramas. Each drama has at least 25 episodes.  Each episode always stops at a cliffhanger, which is really annoying! From this week on, I need to control myself; otherwise, I will really become a couch potato. I also learned that most of these shows are shot around my hubby & my mom's home 'state' Zhejiang. The actors in these shows are very good looking. Hehe, but none of them can beat the cuteness of my baby. 

First Entry of Our Survival Journal

We live in a small city in Upstate New York. The pandemic panic has finally reached us. I usually don't see too many people at Walmart, but today everyone was buying their survival needs for the upcoming weeks. Toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, eggs, drinking water, and most of the non-perishable foods are gone.  Tuna and soup cans are sold out fast. Shelves are empty! It feels like Black Friday! I am so glad that we started to stock up 2 weeks ago. Right now, Walmart is in total chaos!

Canned foods are selling out fast!

Frozen fruits and vegetables are also selling out fast!

Water, eggs, milk are all running out in Wegmans

Our local Walmart store normally operates 24/7, but due to the Coronavirus, the store hours are now between 6am to 11pm. The store clerks still have to work throughout the night to stock up the shelves for the next day.  As I walked through the aisles of non-perishable foods, the store clerks were so busy keeping up with the demand for canned foods. We learned that some Walmarts are currently closed down due too the high demand for survival products. I am not sure how long this is going to last and how many people will this COVID-19 affect. But for now, this is how we are going to live for the next few months.
