Crazy times. Baby #4 came in early Feb. We pulled the kids out of school 3-4 weeks before they were shut down. I get excited when I find bleach or toilet paper, hunter-gatherer endorphins surge.
So many things that we took for granted, the bs that was prioritized, the rat race many ran 5-7 days a week, 6-8 hr daily commute... People are still selfish, though. Oblivious to the facts, jeopardizing the well being of others, while ignorantly risking their own.
I don’t remember seeing this many stars in The Valley, at least, not since I was a child. More butterflies, bees, hummingbirds. Despite being trapped in the house, my kids are loving this. We’ve been in the pool (heated) nearly every day for a month, more times than I have in the last few years combined. I haven’t had a tan in forever, usually just spend a long day, or two, turning lobster red.
Working out again, I take my weights outside, sets in between jumping in. We ordered my wife’s favorite treadmill (gym), sanity secured.
“Edibles”, sake, and wine. I have to sleep somehow. Discovered last year that melatonin (my last “healthy” sleep aid option) was causing PVC’s (premature ventricular contractions), stopped taking it, they stopped after time. Those edibles though. :)
The uncertainty, it’s like we’re in a bad “life on Earth is ending” movie. “Life” is ending, the Life that we knew before, that’s gone. I don’t think we’ll ever get back to where we were. Maybe that’s a good thing.
How is everybody faring?
