Quarantine Chronicles 6.0
Remember 1,000 days ago when people started doing puzzles and home projects? Remember when we were side-eyeing everyone to see how we were supposed to endure the shelter-in-place status? Remember when people were sprinkling sentences with phrases like “extra” and “free” time? Some of you still have a strong puzzle game. Some have lost…… Continue reading Quarantine Chronicles 6.0

Quarantine Chronicles 5.0 [Broken]
I have reached the “even my comb has given up” level of quarantine, and it probably is not why you think. My hair has not become one big matted mess that my comb could not handle—although I am beginning to wonder if people see Forrest Gump [running across America] when they see me.

Does Size Really Matter?
Size has been a point of conversation my entire life. It is not a topic I’ve initiated or enjoyed, but mere dislike of a subject doesn’t keep it at bay [unfortunately].

While that causes some suffering, I…… Continue reading Quarantine Chronicles 4.0 [Redefined]

We are living in a time when we have no choice but to be encircled by the unexpected. Expect the unexpected…… Continue reading Moment of Truth Monday

Quarantine Chronicles 2.0
While life carries on as “unusual,” I find myself growing a sincere appreciation for the ordinary. Honestly, I usually take the ordinariness of normal for granted. This “shelter in place” season has given me a reboot on perspective I didn’t know I needed. I am not collecting “when this is over” treasures; I am trying…… Continue reading Quarantine Chronicles 2.0
