Re-Entry is a Bitch

Seriously. When this pandemic started last year, when it was an EMERGENCY, life was easier. Okay, "easier" might be the wrong word. I should say life was more clear-cut. Stay home. Wash your hands often for 20 seconds. Only go... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 54 - Spring Break Part I

We got out of Dodge for a few days over Spring Break. I was so ready. (I'm still ready for next trip and the one after that and the one after that. LET'S GO.) But first I had to tidy... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 51 - One Year Later - Impatient and Antsy

I've put off writing this for two days because I'm getting so bored with it. After a year, I want to be done with Corona Diaries. (I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this.) Also, I think I miscounted weeks... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 49 - Cresting The Summit

Apologies for switching metaphors on you. Maybe it should have been "I feel a breeze coming" or some such. I'm starting to feel some positive stuff again. That's the main take away. More people I know are getting vaccinated, another... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 48 - Ever Drifting

Sums it all up: Mockingbird here to mock me. Because what I need is more mocking. As if my self-loathing is not enough. Made an egg salad sandwich on white bread with lots of salt. It was yummy. Marinated ribs... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 47 - Drifting

Still drifting. It's Wednesday and I've barely been able to get up the enthusiasm to write this blog post. I was thinking of The Long Winter in the Little House series. They are trapped in their house with no food... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 46 - Still Stuck In The Doldrums

Still here. Still in blah mode. The mom guilt reared its ugly head this week and while burning this candle was nice, it didn't help with the guilt. Harper has not had enough physical exercise at all lately and she... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 45 - The Horse Latitudes

Becalmed seas. No wind. Dead sails. Dry air. That's what it feels like these days. I hear bars and restaurants are open again (outdoor only) in LA. That sounds nice. We are not changing our habits now. We have treated... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 43 - Happy Birthday To Me

All of us will get a covid birthday - last week was mine. It was not crazy different than what a normal birthday might have been like. I'm pretty low key about these things. Biggest difference is we would have... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 42 - Feels Like 2020

The turning of a new year is symbolic, I know that. But maybe 2021 doesn't really get started until after January 20th. Last week was BONKERS. Attack on the US Capital by a huge trump crowd, five people died. That... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 41 - Welcome 2021--PLEASE BE BETTER

In April of 2020 I was on a zoom hangout and someone asked everybody when we thought we'd be through this pandemic situation. People gave answers like "Summer" or "October." I said "2022." I'm not normally a pessimist, but even... Continue reading

The Corona Diaries Week 40 - Merry Christmas
