That’s just where we live now. I’m not unaware of how much better we have it than others. We’re not financially struggling to put a roof over our heads or food on the table. We’re all healthy. We all like each other, so spending vast amounts of time together is lovely and not a hardship. …

Another day, another vet visit
I think Lizzie has a UTI. Yesterday, I happened to glance down at her while she went pee, and it was red. Which is terrifying, but it only happened once. She also was asking to go out more frequently last night, and squatting her little butt down but not actually going. We called the vet …

Togetherness
One of the nicest parts of this whole self isolation is the relationships. Also one of the hardest part is managing those relationships, but that’s a separate post. For the most part, Marc has been working 24/7 forever. So having him home means that the kids needs to relearn how to talk to him. He …

Opening Back Up
Jessie had big plans for this summer, and when covid-19 hit, we weren’t sure if any of it was going to happen. Turns out that it all probably is going to happen, which is both thrilling and terrifying. Tougas, the apple orchard where she was scooping ice cream all last fall, is opening, on a …

Vaccines that are whipping along the approval process but are still months away. I feel like we need …

Friday
Friday is the one day that is distinct now. All the other days flow into the next, with nothing to distinguish or differentiate them. Marc and I struggled to find a way to make Shabbat special, because all of the things that used to mark the day are not happening now. We don’t get the …

All is well
Got Lizziebeth’s nails trimmed and fur cut way down, she looks like an entirely new dog now. Not entirely sure I love it – I miss my scruffy little mess. Now she’s all sleek and looks like a shorn sheep. The good news is that we also got her a new leash, and it’s specifically …

Coronavirus – 6 weeks in
We started our self-isolation exactly six week ago today. At least the kids did, Marc started a week later. Overall, this has been great for us. I mean, it’s exceptionally stressful and scary, because nobody knows when it’s going to end, and there’s this plague out there, and you don’t know who has it. Everyone …
