Not going to lie…Today is a tough one. Last night was great; I had an hour and a half on a Zoom call with 3 of my closest girlfriends. We live all over the country, and the last time we were all together was at my wedding, 4 years ago. Two years ago, two of…

I’ve been making it a point to check in with a few friends each day, just to see how they are doing right now with everything going on. Some are doing well, some are thriving, but there are a lot that are not ok, they are struggling. I get it, as an introvert, I’ve struggled…

During our daily Hangouts video call, Squatch and I were discussing how Little Man is adjusting to being at the lake. I told Squatch it is like we never left. Little Man loves it here, wants to spend all day outside and never come in, and he sleeps on his own, not needing for me…

I’m sure you’ve seen the posts on FaceBook. You know what I’m talking about, the posts showing all of the toilet paper, all the food, the new firearms and knives and ammo, etc. You know these people, you may be one of them. You’re posting about your new “homeschooling” plans for the kids; this is…

Well, Illinois starts “shelter in place” at 5pm today. I wanted my parents to cancel their plans to have people over for St. Patrick’s Day corned beef & cabbage, but they will not. I tried to get them to pack up and head to their lake house, but they argued with me, saying “All the…

Nah…it’s not. But I’m telling you, that’s what it feels like on social media and the news. I am so sick and tired of everyone freaking out and major panicking. I’ve started on MeWe to use the hashtag #AntiVirus on my daily updates. These bring some levity to the entire situation, and just give a…
