Today was actually pretty chill. Only because I took a complete break from the news and Twitter. Highly recommend! I read a nice article about nurturing your mental health during a pandemic. It was written by a therapist and she presented the concept of “Both/And”. You can cling to your sanity by acknowledging that it is BOTH horrible AND the capacity exists to see silver linings. Maybe this will bring families closer together. Maybe our government can subsidize and support the common man over industry heads and CEOs. Could our leaders use this moment to address the income inequality issues that are fraying the fabric of America? Maybe Trump supporters will take the blindfolds off to see this inept monster for who he is and help to vote his dusty ass out. Our beautiful planet is catching a break with less fossil fuels burning. The dolphins have returned to the canals of Venice and the smog is clearing in Southern California. I’m counting my blessings today. My extended family is together in spirit. We are cooperating and communicating. We are on the same page. My immediate family is a source of joy. We are healthy. We still have our income and insurance. We are praying for those that are hurting severely and scared with additional circumstances we can only imagine. May God be with us all.
We are running low on milk and fresh foods. We normally order our groceries through an app and do pick-up. This has been a huge help to us through flu season. Due to current demands at stores it has been temporarily discontinued. Marc is planning an Aldis run first thing in the morning. We have discussed the precautions to take. This is an essential trip. I’m still feeling fretful though. I haven’t been out amongst the public in nearly 2 weeks. We haven’t ate food prepared outside of the house in that time. We’re doing everything in our power to flatten the curve.
It’s getting late and I’m tired. Signing off for now.
