This weekend, we passed Day 50 of shelter-in-place (or “pause” as we’re calling it here in NY State).

There are a few things I’ve learned so far:

  • You can get a lot of things delivered.

  • Teaching online is not as limited as I once thought.

  • That being said, Zoom fatigue is real.

  • I can give Steve a haircut.

  • Time is passing very slowly. Also, what day is it?

  • I can make pizza rolls (trying sourdough this week — wish me luck!).

  • Puzzles are a great way to pass the time.

  • Music is a gift we can give and receive right now.

What a month it's been.

My heart is with all those who are isolated and alone during this time. All those who are feeling the effects of the economic downturn, who have lost their jobs, their security, their peace. For those who have lost their health and those who have lost a loved one.

Who would have thought a few weeks ago that we'd be where we are today?

Social distancing. Staying home. Teaching online. A new normal.
