    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.

    More Adventures in Social Distancing

    August 29, 2020 / No Comments

    As the pandemic progresses, my state is reopening businesses in stages. I don’t know how they decide what can reopen when, or more importantly, why? But I have tamped down my panic and gone out while still exhibiting caution. It has been an experience in otherworldly interaction.

    Ennui Creeps In – Every Day is Exactly the Same

    July 19, 2020 / No Comments

    Every day I drive to work, do my job, then drive home. Wash, rinse, and repeat. Every day feels exactly the same. It is not an unhappy situation, and I am not even sure if I should fight the wave of creeping ennui. But I worry that I am going to snap.

    This is the post-pandemic era. Business is not as usual. Everything has changed. Recently, some friends and I went to a casino. It is located in Oklahoma, otherwise known as Far North Texas. There were at least 100 Texas license plates for every lone Oklahoman plate.

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.
