I haven’t written anything in a few weeks. I mean, what’s there to say? It’s all one gigantic groundhog day with some world-ending kind of bullshit popping up now and again. Let’s see, what’s happened in the last month…. North Carolina re-opened to Phase 2 and our Covid cases are now spiking. People are losing… [Read More]
Quarantine Week 9: I’m going a little crazy
Nine weeks. Nine weeks at home. I filled up my gas tank last Friday for the first time since quarantine began. Weird. I’ve been IN an actual grocery store five times in the last two months. Again, weird. My son has left our neighborhood four times, my daughter five in nine weeks — for driveway/patio visit with… [Read More]
Quarantine Diary: Week 7

I feel for our county as it’s… [Read More]
Quarantine Day 8: Trying to get on a schedule
Today the Governor announced no school until mid-May. I get it. I do. But you guys, oh my gosh. I can barely wrap my head around that. As my son said, it’s like summer vacation – without camp or friends or vacations. Um, how do we even do this? I know the answer. We just… [Read More]
Quarantine Day 3: a whole new world
Well hey, I’m dusting off this blog to try and document my thoughts and feelings as we navigate these uncharted waters known as COVID-19/Coronavirus. This past weekend, it was announced we wouldn’t have school for at least two weeks. Now rumors are flying around that it might be 8 weeks or we may not ever… [Read More]
