Social distancing.... day 71

Sunday 

Today everyone slept really late! I didn’t get up until after 8:00. That was lovely. Siobhan has decided that she wants to watch the show “bones” but she remains a little scared by it. The compromise is that she and I will sleep in the living room together. She sleeps on the cot and I sleep on the couch. It’s a little.... exhausting but I don’t mind. It’s a pandemic so I’ll do what I can to keep her spirits up. 

The weather was fantastic today. We had breakfast outside today. 

We played our one millionth game of backgammon. We’re all getting pretty decent. 

Aisling has her hot Cocoa in her stage manager cup. Sad to think that she didn’t get to do that job this year. 

We had a drive by parade for Bryan’s birthday. (Bryan is the RDA dance studio owner)  That turned into a great visit in the car with him. We haven’t seen him since March. It’s so sad with Connor and abby headed for college in the fall. No real closure to this dance year. 

Connor and abby hung out of the moon roof and cositide with Bryan. Sadly I didn’t think to get a picture of them all. :( 

I hung out in the hammock. That was delightful. 

We also did some yard work. With all three kids helping it went pretty fast! Funny how they’re never home to help before this. I was really impressed with how fast it went and how well they all worked together. 

Connor tried to carry branches vertically. It’s a learning process. :)

Today we also tried to teac Mazie some new tricks. We had mixed results. 

We also had a great game night with my brother as well as some friends. It was a lot of fun 

The New York Times posted this today; 

We are reaching 100.000 deaths. That’s incredible to me and something I am unable to wrap my head around. I have rough days for sure. This weekend has been tough emotionally. But I have to constantly remember how lucky I am that I am not sick and I do not know anyone who is sick. I think that’s amazing. There are protests and people complaining about wearing masks. I will not complain. I struggle with being inside and I struggle with being there 100% for the family but damn I’m lucky to not be burying anyone. I will continue to quarantine as much as they tell us to, to protect my friends and family.
