The Obvious

At this point in the game, our physical features are starting to shed the illusion that we have presented to the world. There might be peeks of gray emerging from our hair. The nail color on our toes and fingers are starting to chip. Those of you who enjoy the benefits of Botox are now…

Be Our Guest

I knew it was coming. I mean, ever since we have been practicing our isolation technique, I was already in the acceptance that our Disney cruise would be cancelled. Remember, acceptance doesn’t mean I like it, it just means it is the reality. Honestly, there are bigger problems in the world than our vacation being…

What A Day

I took a day off from writing this blog because I really didn’t have anything new to share. I mean, I am literally living the same day over and over, so I didn’t want to bore you all. But, yesterday, felt like a Monday because, well it was. I didn’t need a calendar to identify…

Scattered

As usual, I was roused from my slumber by a demanding Basset. But, as I looked at the clock, I was pleasantly surprised that she allowed me to sleep a little longer than normal. It gave me a sense of determination believing that it was time to get up and seize the day. Whatever day…

Someday

I had plans last night, friends. And, it involved leaving my house and doing something that didn’t include shopping for food. Yesterday, was one of my tribe member’s birthdays. In this midst of this quarantine, birthdays need to be amped-up. They need to be bolder. More cowbell, if you will. Our typical birthday celebrations have…

Teachable

With a lot of nothingness on the horizon, I am learning things that, well, I really didn’t need to know. For example, did you know that on Spotify, you can make a playlist for your pet? Think about that for a moment. My pets are ready to get rid of us, so I can’t imagine…

Unknown

Disney still hasn’t cancelled our cruise. I mean, it is in my eyes because there is no way I would be even consider going, plus the CDC has implemented a “No Sail Order” for the next 100 days. But seriously, Disney, give it up. I know what you’re doing. You are seeing who will cancel…

The Nemesis

“I’m going to order a new air mattress.” My spouse says this to me in passing like someone would say “What a beautiful day”. Like it wouldn’t register that this would be the third air mattress ordered in less than a year. I can’t even blame 2020 because all were purchased last year . You…

Be Bold

I have decided I am going to live out loud while I am sequestered with my family. This means, I am going to try new things that I normally wouldn’t do because I might have to see other people. The individuals that happen to occupy this domain, aren’t going to care how bold I get.…

Where’s the Magic?

My television has a screen saver that says, “28 days until the magic”. It might be cute if that were the countdown to when our time in captivity would be ending. But, no, that is the countdown to our Disney cruise. On May 18, I would have been leaving for a fun-filled trip with my…
