The Notes

We left the Southland one day early.  The entire time we were at 90Cab, I had this horrible feeling that I was killing my dad with the coronavirus.  When I told Dad about my anxieties, he replied, "Look Babe, how long am I going to be around anyway?" That's when I started crying. Note to self:  Don't visit nonagenarians when there's a pandemic going around, no matter how much you love them.

Now we're home and at 3 am #1 Son arrived with his partner in crime, Rachel (R).  They brought June, R's Clumber Spaniel and He-Man, her cool cat.  We're hunkering down together!  Note to self:  No hugging for awhile.  Keep your distance at all times, no matter how much you love these people.

Yesterday, in anticipation of their visit, I decided to clean the refrigerator.  It took a way long time.  Note to Self: Clean your fridge on a regular schedule, no matter how much you love ignoring household chores.

On a good note, KC told me about the most wonderful podcast called Anthropocene Reviewed with John Green.  I think you should listen if you feel like it. Note to self:  Embrace daily creative distractions in this time of pandemonium, no matter how worried you are about the digital teaching you will be required to create next week.
