The end of dorm life

FYI, most of the husbands in Florida are immune to COVD 19. Just ask their wives, myself included. 

This virus will not be touching Hubby Tom, and he does not need to quarantine.

He goes to work each day. He works out at the gym at work. He frequents the grocery, and Home Depot, and Walgreens, and Walmart Marketplace, and--yeah, you get the picture.

Me: "Can you imagine if your dad had to be doing what we do every day? The man would come unhinged!"

Darcy: "WE would come unhinged. Let's be thankful he's working."

Saturday came, and there was no work. At noon, while the rest of us were watching Friday's late-night television online Instagram episodes, Tom stood and announced he could not just sit around. 

Tom: "What's going on with the stuff in the garage? Is all of that ready for the storage unit?"

Darcy: "No. I've gone through some of it, but that's not the stuff going to the storage unit."

Tom: "Where is that stuff?"

Darcy: "Still in my dorm."

Tom: "Why don't we go up and move you then from the dorm? It's a good time to do that, isn't it?"

Uh? Have you heard about the quarantine?

But after a lengthy discussion and after discovering if she didn't do it within the next month, she'd never see her stuff until sometime in May, Darcy and her boyfriend joined Tom and headed back to college.

Me: "Take a bottle of hand soap, and every time you get back into your dorm, wash your hands for twenty seconds or more. And don't touch your face. And Clorox everything. And then put it out in the garage where we will Clorox it again. And then all of you will have to strip down outside and run into the shower."

Tom: "You're staying here, right?"

The campus was deserted. No one in Darcy's dorm was moving out, although they did see two other kids in nearby dorms lugging out their rooms. They had to take suitcases and laundry baskets since the campus bins were not available, but they cleaned and stored Darcy's dorm in two cars in less than two hours.

After a little over six months from moving her in, the kid is moved out and home where she thought she'd not be until after she graduated college. 

Summer classes have already been designated for online. Her two campus jobs are on hold. The dorms are closed. She is officially out.

And within two hours of returning home, Tom was taking the stuff to the storage unit. And returning home with groceries.

Guess we should be thankful the men in Florida are COVD 19 immune.

Fingers crossed!
