So it’s been about a year and a half since the insanity started. Fear of getting Covid-19, lock downs, businesses lost, lives lost, minds lost….. In these crazy, sometimes scary months, I’ve learned some things. About myself. About other people. About life. Here is a random list of some of them…

I enjoy not having to get dressed.

I am ok leaving my house without any make-up. (Can’t believe I just typed that, and I’m not sure I will feel that way now that I won’t be wearing a mask…just sayin)

I like being home.

The thought of going into the office 5 days a week again makes me want to cry. Right now I am still working from home every other day. I like it.

Politics are ugly. So are most politicians. I sometimes long for the days when I didn’t follow any of it and was blissfully unaware.

Differing opinions are no longer allowed or tolerated. This is so disturbing to me.

I do not know who to trust and where to turn for accurate and honest information. It seems that everyone everywhere has an agenda. It is unnerving.

Many people who don’t know anything think they know everything.

Grief is strange. Some days are ok. Some days, in quiet moments, you can’t breathe.

The fact that my house is not as organized and clean as it used to be years ago apparently has nothing to do with the fact that I didn’t have a lot of free time. Crap.

Science matters….or it doesn’t. Can’t really have it both ways…

The thought of not being able to get toilet paper is actually terrifying.

The world is broken. Somebody needs to fix it. Now. Please.

I can feel my kids’ stress as if it were my own.

My kids are very resilient and adapt easily to most situations.

My little family of 5 can be trapped in the house together and actually enjoy it. Mostly.

It’s nice to be in walking distance of a liquor store. Those first few weeks were rough…..

As you can probably guess, I typed those as I thought of them, with no rhyme or reason, clearly not in any kind of logical order….but that’s pretty much life these days, isn’t it?

Until next time…
