We are spending the week at home--in quarantine--again. This time Anna and Aliza have it. Anna hasn't been too bad, but Aliza has been just utterly exhausted. It's the gray clouds and rainy or snowy days and the people close to me who are sick and being home day after day--it's all leaving me feeling so heavy and sad.
I was talking to two different people about the sad, heavy feelings and with one we decided that it comes from caring about people and living in community. With the other we decided that it comes with being middle aged, knowing more people, experiencing more life and it's something we learn to live life balancing.
With all the extra time at home I've tried to keep on chipping away at the painting list. The boys are keeping up with school. I'm baking, watching extra shows (Amazing Race started and if you haven't listened to Girl Named Tom you should), drinking tea, reading as much as possible and snuggling with sick girls when they want to.
