Social Distancing Week 17…Seriously,WTF?!
I’ve lost count of the number of times per day that I either think or exclaim out loud..”WTF”

Social Distancing Week 16….It’s Just For Now. It’s Not Forever.
My soul wants to be about a million other places. My mind knows we are probably staying local this summer. My current work is to find a way to balance those things and find ways to make the best of it all.

Social Distancing Week 15…The Week Things Got Real
Even though we’ve done everything “right” – we stayed home for weeks, we always wear masks when we go out, we social distance when we go out, we bathe in hand sanitizer and wash our hands constantly. We do all the things. All. The. Things. And yet my husband still picked up something and passed…

Social Distancing Week 14…Wear The Damn Mask!
For the record….I am totally pro mask wearing. Also for the record….if you are still refusing to wear a mask (unless you have an actual health reason not to), I am completely judging your decision as selfish and shortsighted.

Social Distancing Week 13…Kind of a Big Deal
By stripping away the people, pressures, and noise of the world, the man-child has been able to fully accept and own who he is and begin to claim his space in the world. It’s definitely a big deal.

Social Distancing Week 12…With Privilege Comes Responsibility
Friday, June 5, 2020…7:17am The end of week 12. For those doing the math, that is 3 entire months. For. The. Love. At about week 2.5 I made an intentional decision to step away from the 24 hour news cycle. It was essential to my mental well being. That all changed this week. With the…

Friday, May 29, 2020…1:21pm The end of week 11. It’s a gray day. May Gray is what it’s called here in Southern California. It fits the general mood in our house this week. Gray. Blah. Sigh. I’m feeling a bit like Eeyore. My husband had outpatient surgery on Tuesday to remove bone spurs in an…

Social Distancing Week 10…Core Memories
Friday, May 22, 2020…2:33pm The end of week 10. Double digits. No end in sight. Where we live in Los Angeles County, some things are slowly beginning to re-open, and yet it will still be months before we experience a full return to public life. That return to public life is almost visible on the…

Social Distancing Week 9…Flying Low
Friday, May 15, 2020…10:16am The end of week 9. I said to somebody this week that I think we’ve all lived about one hundred lifetimes in the past 2 months. Turns out it’s exhausting work living through a global pandemic. It’s exhausting. I’m exhausted. In addition to the now normalized routine of work/school/life in a…

Social Distancing Week 8…Both/And 2.0
Friday, May 8, 2020…1:49pm The end of week 8. We’ve been existing in this in between space long enough now that I’ve had time to make a new set of both/and observations about my life in a time of COVID-19. I wrote the first set of both/and observations at the end of week 3. Those things…
