How has your week been? I feel like we’ve settled pretty comfortably into life for the time being, and I’m even enjoying life quite a bit in this slow-down phase. (Which of course speaks to the privilege I have.) This is a drastic change from the first couple of weeks where I felt a constant heaviness on my chest. Of course I realize for many people this heaviness has intensified, but for me it has lifted, at least for now. My husband it not seeing any patients for the time being (except for 1 emergency) but he still goes into the office a few times a week to work on things, but other than that he’s home quite a bit and helps out with the girls schooling, making food, etc. We’re thinking about doing a fancy, dress-up dinner this weekend, but honestly, the thought also makes me tired–ha! We’ll see… I’m sure it would be a fun quarantine memory.
Are you up to anything fun this weekend? I’d also love to see some of your favorite things you’ve spotted around the web. One thing I have learned over and over again in this pandemic is just how good humans are. I love keeping up with all the good news channels that help keep up my faith in humanity, like Tanks Good News, and John Krazynski’s Some Good News. Here are a few other fun and interesting links for your weekend enjoyment. Oh and if you didn’t see the photo above, you can check out the whole post here. Be forewarned, it’s a bit of a heartstopper.
An innocent man spent 46 years in prison–the longest time served for a wrongful conviction in the US. (Long but a good read.)
Favorite new show that I have started and finished during quarantine. Sad it’s over. Also, I sorta love that it was a little-engine-that-could, underdog story.
But you could also just relax to these hours long nature videos from Mt. Raineer.
Can a 20 year NYC restaurant survive COVID? Really lovely piece.
Seems weird that we would have to clarify this is 2020… but then again, it’s 2020.
M*A*S*H and the Coronavirus. Ha!
One of our favorite family meals lately. I don’t worry about having all the toppings, if you have the eggs, turkey and rice, you’re golden.
Humans of New York has been doing some incredible Coronavirus digital interviews and they have been amazing. This one, this one and this one have been a few of my favorites.
My very favorite scoop neck on sale for $9.99! Only a couple colors left, but I have and love the yellow (more of a goldenrod.)
My girls loved drawing on and then sending these cards to some friends. If you want to support a small business that is women and disability owned, check out these super fun “draw together” cards from Tiny and Snail.
Finished this book last week and was enthralled.
Have a great weekend!
