Into the Groove

It really is the new normal, isn’t it? 

Not that being stuck at home is fun, or comfortable, but I feel like we’re starting to get the hang of things around here.

What’s helped me:

  • Establishing a daily routine for me and the kids
  • It’s spring, which means I can send the kids outside, and we can all get out and walk 
  • Spring cleaning will keep all of us busy
  • Taking my own advice and giving myself some projects to keep busy: cleaning camera equipment, starting a new batch of cider, and getting back into the fitness regiment. 

The situation isn’t great, but it’s not as bad as it was a week or two ago. And that’s something. 

Life, overall, is quieter. On our walk this week, I only noticed two cars driving down our typically-busy neighborhood streets. I don’t have a commute anymore. Most of what I hear, day to day, is the birds chirping, and I’ll take that any day. 

Spring has sprung. Can you imagine dealing with this in the arctic days of January?
