Talked my wife into buying an old pop up trailer. Using time at home to put in a new floor, lighting and nicer tables. Today they opened a campground 20min from my house. Got a site for next week. My son will miss "school" for a few days.
I don't ever want to go back to full time work.- Amazing @lemmy_k! PICS!!!
We got The North Face 4 person tent just as this all began and it's JUST getting warm enough @ night to enjoy with my sons in Canada.ideaist - Yes, pics you bastardGnash

- Excellent. Got a family camping trip planned myself in a couple weeks. Always wanted a camper trailer.aslip

Mega-Desk is moving along. Got a second Ikea Alex cabinet to support the left side, and the big countertop is arriving Sunday. Going to cut it with me neighbor, who is also giving me some free monitor stands he got when he bought some speakers.
Was afraid I couldn't get the Alex cabinet until end of June by delivery, but Ikea just opened up curbside pickup locally this week and I was able to get it this week ahead of the desktop.
I'll basically be ending up with the Karlby 74 DIY desk that's pretty popular online, but with a monitor shelf and pullout midi controller drawer. Building that with drawer rails attached to the cabinets, and an Ikea shelf I already have as the slide-out tray for the keyboard. My only concern on that is if the height from the bottom of it to the floor is too small for my legs to go without bumping the tray all the time. So, got risers for the desk if I need to raise it, and can go 4" up if needed.
Will be similar to this:
- I hate to ruin your hard work, but have you ever used a sit-stand desk? Life changing.nb
- i prefer angle desk to sits my elbows. Straight desks like these kill my arms/elbows/shoulder... I have to fully sit my forearm on the desk.Bennn
- Be sure to buy the longest desktop that will fit in the designated space for the desk. You'll thank me later.utopian

My mate's been making these daily shorts when he goes swimming super early in the morning since the start of May.
He's been getting soundscapes from other friends to go along with the visuals.-

Got an email from my kids' daycare today that they are looking to figure out how to open on June 1st with class sizes of 10 max.
Immediate excitement shifted too... uh, yeah, no way. First off, I'm too uncertain about the virus still, too nervous about not knowing how strangers and their kids are managing their hygiene, and frankly, we're saving $3K a month by them staying home, and that's kind of nice. Don't have to dip into savings much, gives my wife a bit of a cushion as she evolves in a new job (recruiter, 100% commission based) and she's at least 4-5 months away from income really starting. We expected this, just didn't expect this crisis.
I'm so torn, truly. I'm getting angry lately that my kids are without their friends and teachers, and that their behavior is regressing, they're acting out more, etc. They don't have any structure.
But summer is almost here, we're getting a fence soon and then some more backyard updates and outside time will be a lot easier.
Life would be better if they were in daycare, but not if it risks their life or ours. :(
- ...or the lives of others :(Krassy
- lol @ "..don't have any structure"
yea, that damn parental responsibility!futurefood - Futurefood, are you a parent?mg33
- Agree mg33 - keeping our boys home hopefully if we can push it until augumbee54
- Hear you on the no structure . We’ll get thru this. Better safe than having them get illumbee54
- We are keeping the kids home from school until both of us need to go back to work. Schools open on the 9th of June here in Melbourne, I might see how it goes.slappy
