March 17th was the last time I was in my office. My kids school was cancelled for 2 weeks the Sunday before.... unexpectedly. My son had a cough/cold coming on...and I was instructed to stay home. Within the next week, many more at work were instructed the same.
Its now 3 days before May. I'm still working from home. I always dreamed of being able to do this. But in that dream, I was more prepared. I don't have half my files. I cannot access to get them. It's sort of like being punished, in a way. Banished. But I understand. We need to keep everyone safe. Got it.
School has been cancelled for the rest of the year. My 4th grader is bummed....he misses his friends and bummed he has to miss out on the Spring Field Trip and the Wax Museum Project that every 4th grader has done since the dawn of HES. My Freshman thinks this is such a crazy way to end her 9th grade year...and I couldnt agree more. But both kids are taking it OK and doing the best they can adjusting and doing school work 100% from home. Definitely an adjustment for all 3 of us.
Rereading my post below from last Fall, and all is still the same. I still have no one in my life that checks in or cares about my well being. Sure, people SAY it randomly online. But when I need help or a friend....it's ALWAYS CRICKETS.
Stay safe everyone. I hope we all come out on the other side of this well adjusted and healthy.
May this time home teach us that life was a shit-show and WAY TOO CHAOTIC. I honestly had very little joy in day to day life and way too much stress having to meet deadlines, lessons, practices, etc.....
Being here....with no place to go....is a nice breather. Honestly.
The world is upside down...but it IS ok.
