stay at home order - week 4

I have no excuse for not updating other than laziness, which isn’t exactly an excuse.

Things are getting kind of weird.

There was a protest at the state capitol this week where people brought swastika flags and did not adhere to social distancing guidelines. Part of me just considers this natural selection while the other part just feels sad for them. It’s like they’ve joined a cult, but don’t realize it, which I guess IS a cult. It’s strange to think that things will not be normal again for quite some time, and maybe not normal ever again. Tonight Brandon and I discussed when we would go to a movie theater again, which turned into if. How is it possible that the President was being impeached a few months ago, and now it all seem so insignificant?

I still enjoy the time at home, even though I’m not using it the way I should. There are so many things I want to do, but, for me, the hardest thing in the world is vulnerability; and, it’s like this situation is forcing it upon me. Yes, I have been reading and listening to Brene Brown. I haven’t been a great wife, or friend, or anything, but I’m awake now.

ANYWAY when things are uncertain and shitty, it’s time to drink!
