What a time we’re all having. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our sweet dog died shortly after I wrote that last post<\/a> — there’s not much more to say about that, other than I miss him terribly. But also, maybe he knew that days later we’d be in the throes of a global pandemic and was like… Nope, not sticking around for that BS.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that’s where we are, in the throes of a global pandemic, with no furry weighted blanket following us around. Schools are closed. We are effectively sheltering in place + practicing extreme social distancing. Nick is working from home, and I am so grateful to have the flexibility to focus on caring for (and intermittently trying to educate) our children. Speaking of, they keep asking where babies come from. And they both cried this morning after one told the other their scooter was haunted. We have to laugh when we can. Even\/especially in the mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oddly enough, we had been planning to be home for the last two weeks of the month, as Nicky was scheduled to have his adenoids + tonsils removed (’twas postponed). So I suppose one silver lining is that our cups of Jell-o runneth over. Or whatever. <\/em>We are growing tiny plants in eggshells, watching zoo webcams (and, like, a lot<\/em> of movies), baking, taking walks together, reading, and going to bed as early as humanly possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are home, we are healthy, and we are safe. And that’s more than enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How are you + your loved ones doing? Please do let me know — you’re all on my mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
