    Sky-High Adventures in Social Distancing

    September 30, 2020 / No Comments

    I had the recent privilege of seeing the post-COVID situation at the local airports thanks to the ex asking our sons to fly out to New Jersey to spend a week with him. It all began innocently enough, I was sitting in my living room, Netflix was on, and I was reading a book on my Kindle. When my eldest son comes out from his room and tells me that he has received a text from his dad asking if they wanted to come out and visit him.

    COVID Diaries Day 200 – New Habits, New Normal?

    September 29, 2020 / No Comments

    What things do I wish that would stick around from the COVID experience? I came across this question on Twitter and it got me thinking. The comments, as expected, were divided between appreciation for the evolved human response to a pandemic, to the ignorant disdain for anything that required accepting any personal responsibility in preventing the spread of the virus.

I blog about the random ass shit going on in my life. I'm a single mom, a Navy veteran, avid reader, and coping with life post-divorce. I have two sons and five cats, so clearly, I'm a catch. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
