Just sort of popping by to say "hi." I'm trying to catch up with all the things I've left undone this week. Well, maybe not all of them, but some of them. And suddenly it’s 10:00 and no blog post. So here’s my thought for the day: "Let the darkness find you if it must. … Continue reading Like a Drive-Through
We're Making It
My first five days of Home-Schooling ended quietly. It wasn't really home-schooling anyhow, more like unschooling, which is also ok. Well see what next week brings. Today we celebrated Spring Solstice even though it was a day late. My daughter, the grands, and me. We used my Himalayan meditation bells and the maraca, smudged with … Continue reading We're Making It
Stripped
No, not that kind of stripping. Not strip mining either. Today, I feel like our lives are being stripped down to the essentials. And sometimes less, of course. But if you are like me - fortunate enough to: Be healthy (so far) Have your essential needs taken care of and Be confident you can survive … Continue reading Stripped
Finding My Balance
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.
In These Times
So you probably know that I live with my significant other, MP, my adult daughter, and two grands, an almost 8 year old and a just-turned 5 year old. 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 haven't been able to quit reading about Covid19 and thinking about it. I'm not afraid that I'm going to get it. In fact, I have a hard time remembering that I'm in a high risk group. I'll read something about what people 60 and older should do and it takes me a minute to … Continue reading A Bit Obsessed…
