Another day in isolation.
Another day to find something meaningful.
Another day to eat my feelings.
Another day to watch too much TV.
Another day to clean yet another closet, drawer, cabinet....
Another day to fight the loneliness.
Another day to start with great intentions.
Another day to hope for a better day tomorrow.
Another day to make a dinner that doesn't bore us to death.

Another day to be more fit.
Another day to eat well.
Another day to be creative.
Another day to laugh.
Another day to spend time with Em.
Another day to be productive.
Another day to connect with friends and family.
Another day to take care of myself.
Another day with Riley sleeping next to me.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon.

Having some rough days lately.

Really missing my people.  I just want to hug.  Anybody.

Worried about the future.  For SO many obvious reasons and some very personal ones.

Grateful for so much, though...

Have had such beautiful weather.  Trying to get out and enjoy it while it lasts.

All of my friends and family are safe and well.  Our main focus right now.

Some great conversations with my favorite people.

Laughing so hard it hurts.  Better than crying.

Week three of staying at home because of COVID-19.

Spent two weeks in St. Louis helping Mom.  

Good  to be with her, so sad we couldn't touch or hug.

Hard to leave.

Been back for one week.  Don't know how long this thing will last.

Grateful that I have three roommates.

Em - so far, so good.  We get along great, make a pretty good pair in the kitchen, share chores, talk, watch dumb tv, and I'm so thankful to have her during this crazy thing. 

   So many people are alone and it must be

so difficult.

Cooper and Riley - puppies are the best! 

Thankful for the ability to stay in touch with family and friends.

Thankful we are well.

Thankful for all of the people out there keeping the world going

while risking their health.
