Day Nineteen of the Cautionary Tale
Posted By Kathleen David on July 26, 2020
It has been one hundred thirty-two days or four months and ten days since we started observing quarantine and the stay at home order was put into effect in New York.
We had seventy-five days or two months and fifteen days before we were informed to stay at home.
In nineteen days, we will reach the point where we will have been under social distancing rules for twice as long as we weren’t.
In that time Peter has not gone to ten conventions. Caroline has not gone to Jacksonville to help out at SunRay Cinema. We have not gone to St. Augustine for the O’Shea family beach week.
I don’t think we are even possibly going out of state until December. I know we are not going anywhere the month of August.
This is the longest we have been home continually ever.
It has been interesting not going anywhere. Simplifies things a lot in terms of packing and unpacking. All the suitcases are packed away and out of the way.
When we do go back out on the road, I have a lot of books and graphic novels in the mix.
Today I am trying to pack a lot in the time I have. I need to restock the larder. I need to do laundry. I need to put peddle to the metal on the Dining Room project. I have reached a tipping point and now I need to push through.
It is also hot as all get out today with high humidity which will make cleaning cat boxes a real treat.
I will get done what I can get done and it will be enough.
I am grateful for perspective.
