If you're like me, March hit in a whirlwind. I'm not one to really read the news - most of the time I get upset from all the negativity, so I just prefer to talk to my husband or do brief headlines.
Somehow, I completely missed that we were having a pandemic. Sad, right?
I mean, of course, it could be because my husband, toddler, and I were all sick the first 2 weeks of March, and H had gotten tubes the weekend before. But all of a sudden it seemed like the world was turned upside down.
"Safer at home."
Wear masks.
(On the next blog, I'll be discussing masks + deafness. It's a doozy.)
Don't wear masks.
Wear gloves.
Don't touch your face.
Wash your hands.
(Okay, yes, one should always wash their hands.)
Don't go out.
Schools are shut down, restaurants may be take out, churches are online only.
Never before - in all of history - have we tried to cure a virus by quarantining healthy people. Yes, we were "flattening" the curve, making sure that those who were really sick were able to get treatment. But life stopped. Our economy will eventually recover, yes.
Constantly thinking, will life return to normal? But, what is normal? Have you seen the sky? It's clear and a brilliant blue with clouds resembling cotton. Should this not be normal?
Will the pandemic end? Eventually, yes. Did a get a lot of writing done during? No, not really. I've spent most of my extra time outside with my almost 2 year old and doing a family mountain bike ride every weekend. It won't last forever, but while it is, I'm enjoying the closeness with my family.
How are you living the pandemic?
