Interesting Times

So...we live in interesting times, to say the least. It hasn't even been 6 months since the world saw the emergence of the COVID 19 virus, and yet life is now terribly and terrifyingly different than it was even 2 months ago.
2 months ago, I was at a conference in Atlanta, sharing space with LOTS OF PEOPLE and having an amazing time.
1 month ago, I was back from a trip to our soon to be new area and thinking about mortgages and offers and all that.
Then it all changed. Now I leave the house only a few times for a very specific and isolated purpose, and never to a store. DH has taken over that part. I do my ministry virtually and by phone, I video chat with friends and try to keep the peace with 2 college age kids, a husband, and 2 dogs who are just really ready for this to be done.
I have found, however, that listening to daily prayer podcasts are a blessing. I try to listen to morning prayer and compline each day. I'm trying to do yoga each day.
I also spend a lot of time playing words with friends and solitare on my phone. And thinking "I should really get something done". Reader, she doesn't.
This is hard, but I can do hard things. I just don't want to somedays.
Today our plan is to work on the house, doing the things we can do. Outside contractors will have to wait. But the sun is shining, I am blessed to be able to withstand this time in all the ways, and I can pray and help in other ways for those who cannot. For those who will not, I pray even harder.

Also, I packed up almost all of my knitting before all of this hit. So it's in a POD somewhere in our soon to be new place. Really? Timing is everything.
