I know I'm not the only one having COVID nightmares. Or, perhaps just more stressful dreams than normal. Last month I had a dream where I had invited friends and family to a game night, assuming that they understood it would be a virtual game night. However, everyone showed up at my front door —… Continue reading How about those COVID dreams?

Did you notice this pre-COVID?
I have seen about five or so hummingbirds siting perched on telephone lines during my time in quarantine. The first time it was while I was getting ready in the morning before going to work (at my dining room table). I was looking out the window and noticed a tiny bird perched on the line… Continue reading Did you notice this pre-COVID?
How are you?
It seems like a simple, straight-forward question: How are you? But, is it? I'll run into a neighbor while on a walk and we'll exchange "Hello's" and "How are you's?"

A week ago, my mom texted my brother and I and told us not to get her any gifts for Mother's Day. "We need to save, and not be spending money!" she ended the text messaged with. My brother replied: We already got you a gift. Selfless, and often times stubborn — that's my mom.… Continue reading A quarantined mother’s day
