 2020.... We will look back on this year and call it... A total shitshow.  Not only has there been catastrophic  natural disasters that have plagued the world.  We have had a global pandemic and we are now in our 9th month of daily concern about fever cough, runny nose, who did I see, where did I go.  I can be all consuming, which turns into self doubt, anger, fear, and back to "What fuck is goin on?"  We are also on the outer perimeter of a highly contested Presidential election.  It is not a secret that I am not a fan of Donald Trump.  That is being gentle.  I detest the guy and dont believe a word out of his mouth.  I do believe that he tried to do his best job as President, that was within his power as a narcissist and egomaniac.  He is self serving and without praise he was not in it for anyone but himself.  That said, Joe Biden has been elected president.  Of course the Donald is contesting everything, claiming voter...

 How to begin. "It has been the best of times it has been the worst of times." I had a few posts that I began but never posted that I decided to just "let go of" and publish.  SO that is where the extra posts from this date came from.  Check the written dates and that will explain alot.. Our boy turned 15 the other day.  The past 7 months since March 13th we have been on a relative lockdown quarantine stay home order. While in the middle of this craziness it seems as if life is either a total shitstorm or minor inconvenience.  We are reaching the end of our summer and it has been one of quiet simplicity.  Mixed with fear and mindbending uncertainty. I have rambled between this has been a mother nature wake up call to slow the hell down world VS I need to get the fuck out of here before I lose my mind and die here.  Our boy is now 15 and begins HS in a few short weeks.  In reference to the PANDEMIC we are in the throws of we have now been out of ac...

Well our two week Jack and Mommy hiatus has turned into a full blown worldwide pandemic. We spent Easter just the boys and I and honestly it was horrible. There wasnt any thought of Easter bunny baskets dressing up... nothing at all. I watched mass on my computer. I was annoyed allll day. I miss my girls and my Mother and my LIFE. The way I imagined it and the way this thing is going down are two totally different things. So my plans to go out the mountain with Jack and Nana are not gone.  But certainly logistically this would not be an easy task. I am working harder now than I have in year.  Distance learning without a board and not being able to lecture is a nightmare.  My workload is heavier and I have a full schedule. Going out the mountain is great as long as the internet works and I can get my ZOOM to work. The cats... The dog Andy being home alone means he will definitely not be cautious. I dont know what will happen with Owen should Allie be deplo...

My last post from March was about a dreamy setting of two weeks vacation called "coronacation".  Yes well that was just that.... A DREAM> What has actually occured is a worldwide pandemic. AGAIN... WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC>

I know its been a while. Much too long even for my liking. So just a reboot and pick up where I am now. We are in the infancy stages of "The Corona Virus" I am torn between, Ah people love drama and its all media hype, and  Contagion. We will stay home as often as possible and keep washing our hands and doing what we can to stay healthy. I have stocked up on some items, but certainly not enough to last six months. There is gossip about schools closing for two weeks to figure out how this thing will go down, that said... I anticipate my work closing down for the same and equal amount of time.  I will be home with Jack, just doing our thing. The plus side, dreamy part of it is...  This may be last of time I will get with him before he is "BIG" He goes to HS in the fall.  He is busy and sports and studies friends.  The summer is already full of get aways and boy scouts all that stuff.   Our Corona Hiatus may be our transition from...
