My short term memory is affected now. I truly don’t know what day of the week it is, and I am so incredibly grateful for my cell phone which will tell me everything I need to know… Oldest child was released from captivity today, as she’s been fever free for 24+ hours. At first, thereContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Seven”

Today was fun, full of fungus and blood. Turns out, small child is legitimately obsessed with mushrooms! She wants them in every meal. She wants them AS a meal. I’m completely terrified of the consequences tomorrow when she realizes she doesn’t have any more mushrooms… Please say a prayer for me I also had aContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Six?”

We went to Disney World today! It’s been a dream of ours since, well, the small child told us it was. But, alas, airline tickets are always over priced, and I don’t do crowds. So today, with all of us in quarantine, we finally went… Okay, we watched some videos on YouTube and pretended. YouContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Five”

Time has lost meaning. I am in and out of sleep as I need it. I received a roommate today. She has also been banished for not being up to par. There goes my couch. We watched the newest Jumanji and I went to sleep. I did get two empty laundry baskets sometime today whichContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Four: Notes from the Basement”

If you know me in real life, you know I have a chronic illness… I have a condition called adrenal insufficiency. It took years to get my diagnosis, and when I did, I was knocking at death’s door. It took a few more years to find a new normal that allowed me to get backContinue reading “A Little Bit of Real for a Sec…”

It’s St Paddy’s Day, and we greeted it in style. No leprechaun here, only a 102° fever. Yup. Sick kiddo. Luckily the otherwise healthy one. I was up most of the night rechecking her temperature, which at one point may have cooked an egg for me, but I figured that her forehead wasn’t big enough,Continue reading “Quarantine Log Day Four”

Note from the basement. Never did get any sleep before my training but oh well it’s my night off. Got to work to find out we are closed for the next two weeks and in addition to only working two days a week, my training was cancelled. So ya, not just tonight off… Don’t workContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Three: Notes from the Basement”

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.Continue reading “Quarantine Log Day Three”

Notes from the basement. Had to cook for myself this morning. Opened a can of ravioli and put it on the wood stove. As a note you may need to stir it regularly but the bottom of the food stack was hot while the top was meh. Had to break quarantine to get the wifiContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Two: Notes from the Basement”

Quarantine Day Two: AKA the longest day We are all still alive, though there’s some bumps and bruises and the neighbors may soon need ear plugs. Lots of unhappiness here today. And wasted food. Pretty sure we need an economics lesson. May be making “funny money” soon and forcing the kids to buy their ownContinue reading “Quarantine Log Day Two”
