最近大家辛苦了。現在世界狀況很不安定，充滿不確定，生活也被影響。 我們擔心家人、朋友們，每天無時無刻都在關注新聞，我們都在想，什麼時候才會回到“正常”。
I know it’s been a funny time for everybody - our lives have been disrupted, we’re worried for our family and friends, we’re reading the news every second for updates, we’re wondering when (or if) things will ever be “normal” again.
我們自主管理了滿14天，也盡量維持樂觀的態度和想法：
We self-quarantined for 14 days and are trying to look at all the positives that have come out of this.
我跟老公、兒子和父母因為這樣，花了很多很美好的時間相處。我們知道這是我們要一起面對的現實，也學著尊重彼此的空間，但同時也很感謝我們現階段都還算是健康、安全且幸福的。
I’ve gotten to spend so much quality time with my husband, son and parents. We’re all in this together and respect our needed space, but also appreciate how lucky we are to be healthy and safe together.
我跟好多朋友們及家人聯絡。每個人不管在那個世界的角落，都在相互關心，好溫馨。
I’ve been in touch with so many friends and family from all over the world. Everybody has been checking up on each other and I’ve heard from or reached out to friends/family who are concerned about our well-being and vice versa. And… it’s been nice!
我的家，天啊，已經5年沒有那麼乾淨了。好啦，15年。
My apartment has gotten the “spring cleaning” that it desperately needed for the past 5 years. (OK OK, let’s be honest… the past 15 years.)
我們廚藝都變得又創意又厲害。連Egan都在假裝煮飯 (但是他是用龍火，所以他贏了)。
We’ve all been more creative and having fun with our cooking (including Egan who has started to pretend cook with dragon fire. He’s winning.)
我們好好的坐下來，討論了很多很煩惱但是必須處理的事：財政、法務、保險、退休....，噢我頭又開始痛了⋯⋯。
We’ve sat down and started taking care of “boring” stuff that has just always gotten pushed to the side. (you know, legal, financial, insurance, retirement…. The kind of stuff that gives us headaches)
我們找了許多能在家裡做的活動，讓我們維持身心健康。
We have managed to try and stay physically and mentally fit and healthy by finding random activities to do.
同時，也很無罪惡感的看了很多電視、很多部電影、玩電動遊戲。(重點是無罪感喔！)
But we’ve also sat around and watched a lot of TV and movies or played video games GUILT FREE. (Yes, the important thing is the GUILT FREE part).
我們教了兒子很多重要的人生課程（尤其跟現在特別時機有關），他現在是洗手達人了，知道咳嗽時要摀住嘴，然後放屁時要傻笑，一些人生重要且健康的社交禮儀。
We’ve taught our son important life lessons relevant to the times (he is a master hand washer now, knows to cover his mouth when he coughs, and giggles when he farts. That’s just proper social etiquette.)
希望大家都能在現在的生活狀態持續維持健康、寬心且安全。我們再耐心一點的持續保持健康的距離，保持強壯的身體。
I hope everybody is coping well and adjusting to this “new normal.” Please stay safe, stay healthy, stay mentally healthy, stay socially distant for just a bit longer, and stay strong.
我也想請你們和我們分享，在現在不如以往正常的生活狀況下，你正在做的一些健康、樂觀的事。 我也想跟你們分享健康的食物！或是 如果你認識的正在居家隔離、居家檢疫的朋友或家人，需要一點鼓勵，而且是健康好吃的那種，也跟我說！我們來給一點小小幫忙。
Please share some of the positive things you’ve been doing in these crazy times and I’d like to share some #Vivanuts with you! Or if you know of somebody who is going stir crazy at home and could use a little healthy pick-me-up, let me know and we’ll send over a nice yummy healthy snack.
這幾天來我們在家裡自主管理，收到了好多愛、留言、玩具、零食等⋯⋯，我們也想把一些我們的愛和健康的食物送給你們！
We’ve received a lot of love, messages, food, toys, and random goodies while in self-quarantine and we want to pass on the love and yummy treats to you too!
#萬歲牌 Viva-健康萬歲
