Live from Isolation - Day 2

So.

What a week, huh?

Yesterday was ... weird. It just sort of felt like an extended weekend.

Except for the fact that I was cancelling all non-essential appointments over the next two weeks. And bars and restaurants and movie theaters were closing at 8pm. And it was hard to stay away from the news and ever changing situation. And we were all hunkering down to spend the next couple weeks home.

We had a family meeting yesterday to talk about what the next couple weeks might look like. I think David was sort of hoping for video games, all day, every day, indefinitely.

Mike asked his students to think about their normal school schedules and the benefits the day and those classes bring to them. For example, changing classes is movement once an hour. He tasked them with trying to find ways to replicate those benefits while home. We asked David and Kate to do the same - what is the physical, emotional, mental benefit of art? math? And how can we replicate that at home?

I am ridiculously Type A. (But, oddly pretty laid/lazy back about it. It's weird. I know.) So, I tend to like things a specific way. And even more specifically, my way. (It really is the best). But, this is so different than what anyone has experienced. So, I'm trying hard to be fluid.

I'm not sure what today will bring.

I'm working on convincing myself that that's okay.

And, have to keep reminding myself that it's Tuesday.
