Socca

Good morning.

How are you doing on this Sunday?  Did you have a productive week?  Are you ready to do it all over again tomorrow?

I am still self isolating with my son at home.  It has been 6 weeks now, that we have not left home.  I have gone for walks in our neighborhood with my husband, but that is all.  I have not been to a store, doctor, anywhere.  And I am still very okay with this.  

Having a family member with a compromised immune system is a very scary thing.  Especially when I work in the medical field.  And can expose him to something that could potentially be bad, like really bad, is so scary.

I am still on furlough from my job.  There is so much uncertainty with COVID-19, I don’t know what is going to happen.  But I am doing my best to not borrow trouble.

Being home, being able to be the stay at home mom and wife that I want to be, even if it is a temporary situation, is a blessing for us.  I can be here to hand off a cup of coffee to my husband during the day.  Or make him his lunch and he can pick it up and head on back to work.  Playing a video game with my son, doing house chores together.  Watching a TV show with him.  It’s these little things that we miss out on.  I don’t know about you, but during a “normal week,” I work all day.  Come home to make dinner, then we clean up as a family.  Once that is all done, I am pooped.  All I want is a shower, pj’s and bed.  

I am keeping all these little moments tucked away in my heart.  For when I do go back to work.  And miss the 2 o’clock conversation over cookies with my boy.  (Or I should say man now since he turned 19 yesterday.)
