Saturday December 26 2020 Marks the spot. This appeared over my house. #truestory No more waiting to be marked. My spiral has closed. Since March I've avoided large gatherings, worn a face mask in public, washed my hands and used copious amounts of hand sanitizer, along with my new prescription of eczema meds because I … Continue reading 122.

112. The bus
Wednesday November 11 2020 The school bus pulls onto my street, then passes by as I wait at the end of my driveway to join those commuting to their obligatory destinations this morning. A child looks from one of the windows and we both assess each other for those three seconds or so, until I … Continue reading 112. The bus
111. COVID-Weary Minds
Tuesday November 10 2020 Ok y’all, here’s an exercise for your covid-weary mind. [calming voice] Try to clear your thoughts for a moment. Set aside all your worries and stress.

18. It’s in the curtains
Sunday April 26 2020 Feeling rather meh today. The windows are closed and heat back on after a beautiful day yesterday. Now it’s cold and rainy. I don’t know for sure that’s what’s affecting my mood, but I keep having little anxiety bursts that I can’t really identify. Need to do the big weekly grocery … Continue reading 18.

15. Sammy Sunday
Sunday April 19 2020 Sundays are our usual grocery day, mostly because I buy lunch meat for the week’s sandwiches and I want it as fresh as possible.
