It is only Day Three of this new life. Way too soon to know what I'm doing or what it's going to be like. It will take more than three days to adapt and settle into some comfort. The kids and I will settle into a routine. It won't be easy, but we'll figure it … Continue reading Finding My Balance

Today’s News…
Kids are wonderful. Kids are exhausting. Life is good... Oh, and I went to the beach on Sunday. Did I already mention that? I don’t think I did. It was lovely.
With Love Today
Today was Day 1 of no school for the kids. Turns out, my daughter is going to be working from home too, which makes it both easier and more complicated. But it’s all good. And the day was fine. The kids did well. We all survived. No complaints here. “Come here,” he said. She looked … Continue reading With Love Today
Thank you, Bob Marley
Just for perspective: https://youtu.be/zaGUr6wzyT8 Having said that, and fully believing that in the long run, "Every little thing gonna be all right..." last night I had this overwhelming feeling that the walls were closing in on me. The alone time and space that I treasure and need is going to be gone. Everyone's anxiety is … Continue reading Thank you, Bob Marley
Sorry…
I’m in the middle of a frenzy of “What about me-itis.” I expect to come out of it sometime tomorrow and be able to talk about it or able to talk about something anyhow. At the moment, I’m feeling a bit bereft. Wandering off to brood and grieve.

Where-We-Live has not closed schools (yet) but spring break has just started and they're talking about staying closed for a least a couple of weeks longer. … Continue reading In These Times
A Bit Obsessed…

I'll read something about what people 60 and older should do and it takes me a minute to … Continue reading A Bit Obsessed…
How I Lost the Day
I missed posting yesterday. That's because my whole day was turned upside down. The night before, Monday night, I decided I was going to get some sleep for sure. So I took a dose of this prescription cough medicine with codeine I had still hanging around from a couple of years ago. What I had … Continue reading How I Lost the Day
PSA
I think this is a really good explanation of the concerns about Covid19. It helps me understand why we're worried and why different countries are taking the steps they are. The Three Phases of Covid-19 – and how we can make it manageable. How is the coronavirus likely to play out, how does it end, … Continue reading PSA
And A Frivolous Want
My grandson got a hooded blanket for his birthday. He is beyond thrilled with it, and I’m sharing the excitement. It’s so COOL! It’s got a dinosaur hood and mittens, and it sweeps behind him like a cape as he walks. I want one. But not the dinosaur. I went looking on-line and found this … Continue reading And A Frivolous Want
