Just like you, I’m living in a pandemic. But maybe unlike you, I am 100 percent listening to scientists. I’m still in quarantine and will continue until scientists say it’s safe to go back into the world.
I’ve been off my property a few times since early March – to my doctor for a necessary appointment and to grocery stores’ curbside pickup service (which is amazing). Each time I wore my handmade mask.
Living in a pandemic is a challenge, and like everything else in life, there are ups and downs. I’m focusing on the ups.
First, I live next door to three of my five grandchildren, Tilleigh, 13, Evie, 10, and William, 7 (the other two, Charleana, 3, and Misha, 1, live in California). I get to see Tilleigh, Evie and William nearly every day.
The downside? I don’t get to hug or kiss them, and it’s torture. I am a hugger and a kisser, and they are my daily targets.
