quarantine

We made it home to our house in Lethbridge around 3:00 am this morning. Everyone was so excited to see all of their belongings again and marvel at how different everything was from how they remembered it, it took us a while to settle down to sleep. We have to be in quarantine now for fourteen days and can't leave our house. We are allowed to be in our yard but can't go beyond our private property. If we do, we can risk getting a big fine.
Rus has opted to be in quarantine with us. It was either that or he would have to stay in a separate part of the house and stay at least two meters away from us at all times. That would have been too hard. Rus got some groceries before picking us up and we have had some thoughtful friends drop off a big care package for us. So we are well taken care of for now.
Rus has been busy cleaning the upstairs of our house that we had rented out and the kids and I are going to repaint it before moving everything in again.
It has been quite an experience living in Denmark. I think it has given us all some good shared memories and has shown us what we are capable of. Coming home was strange at first but it already feels normal again. Rus said the same thing when he came back. It's not really weird being home. What's actually weird is that it doesn't feel very weird.
Now it's time for us to pick up our life here. Maybe we will try to move back again in another two years, after Ila and Mei have graduated high school...
