July 1st the Halfway Mark for 2020
Posted By Kathleen David on July 1, 2020
2020 is halfway in the books.
If you had told me what was on the horizon on January 1st, I would have not believed it. If you had sent me this year as a novel, I would have passed because it seemed too over the top to be taken seriously.
But here we are. It is Day 35 of the Reopening Epic after 73 days in self isolation.
I feel like we are playing a worldwide game of whack-a-mole and we are the moles with the virus being the hammer.
Right now, we are carefully popping our heads up but getting ready to duck at a moment’s notice.
Today my parents are moving into their new home. It is the end of an era. We lived in that house for almost 48 years. It would be 48 on July 7th.
I am of mixed emotions today. I am proud of my parents for taking this step before something forced them to. I will miss the house which had been my home for most of my childhood. But it is a house. I have my memories of the place and there are photos.
I hope whoever purchases it has as much fun and love as we had in it.
Because my parents are moving into a condo, I have concerns about them encountering the virus. They have been isolated in the house. However, I am less worried because my Mom is a nurse and is very cautious.
Last night Peter was on the GalaxyCon Talk Comics webcast. I sat next to him and occasionally comments on what was being said. It will be up on YouTube in two weeks. It was a two-hour conversation about Peter and his life in comics and fandom. There was an additional hour of the boys talking to each other but that was private.
Today we are continuing the big clean. I have a plan that I need to execute to get us to the next step. It seems like every time we make a dent; it becomes undented in the next step. I know that it will work out in the end, so we keep going.
I am grateful for 1146 Lullwater RD NE. It is an awesome house and an amazing place to grow up.
