Day 114: Still Here

I guess I stopped counting at day 59, according to my 2020 planner (Ha!)


So we're still here. Pandemic is still global and somehow that is not always the main news story. It's that bad.

At the same time, we've managed to settle into a new sense of normalcy. I don't cry everytime I go to get groceries anymore and I'm going out of the house more than B lately. And not just for take out or groceries! The car is a haven and I enjoy the drives more than is normal.

The boys are out in the backyard in our inflatable pool on a sunny and hot July day and it almost seems normal. I'll try to get on here more again. Uncertainty about school (for work and for the boys) is looming again and I cried (not a ton, but some) about the pandemic for the first time in a while. I cried during a bunch of scenes at the Disney+ premiere of Hamilton (and have watched it numerous times since) but thankfully for non-Covid reasons.

See you in a bit as I ask myself, yet again, how will we get through this?

I could go on for pages of things I should be doing instead of this.

To help me avoid that, I will promise instead to update at least weekly with a minimum of 5 words even if it is an excuse from the following list: I just don't have time today Too much to say, no time to write I can't think of a thing to say Today was too terrible to share Today was to incredible to share I want to live my life! I will not share this blog with the world until I have at least ...
