Today was successful. Ben got a lot of laundry done, so now the upstairs is an obstacle course of laundry baskets. Double bonus!
The kids are run down, but I’m sure it’s just stress, and disruption in routine. Nobody needs more routine than an ADHD/anxiety kid, and this Mama can barely spell routine … R. O. U. Teen???
My brother sent up some Trader Joe’s coffee for me, so that’s basically Heaven in a mug (which happens to be a mermaid mug, thanks to my bestest friend Katie)…
I got to see my parents, though briefly and from about 12 feet away. Good to have confirmation we are all still alive. My parents look amazingly the same, while I’m now down 11 pounds and clearly wasting away to nothing. I ate an Oreo to balance the universe.
I’m pretty sure there was no yelling today, which is no small victory, and if you smell something off coming from our neighborhood, it isn’t us. We all bathed. You’d have thought water was in short supply given the reluctance of the small ones, but I like smelling like Vanilla Bean Noel in March.
There’s corned beef in the Crock-Pot so we can fully celebrate St Paddy’s Day tomorrow, the schedule calls for lots of potatoes and Darby O’Gill and the little people. Unless the banshee scares me. She used to…
At any rate, had a lovely chat with Natalie’s teacher, making her rounds to ensure that every student and their families have what they need through this. What a wonderful woman she is, and we are so blessed to have her!
If every day is like today (hack…cough…hairball…) Then this quarantine won’t be so bad. Pretty sure it will be nice, warm walking weather tomorrow. If we see you out, we will be sure to cross the street to avoid you 😉
Corona Can't Keep Me Down
