Pocket of Normalcy

The sun is out and spirits are cautiously up. It isn't because we have good news, but because I feel as prepared as I can expect to be right now. Something about the increasingly clear directive to stay home and flatten that curve is reassuring. Guidance is solidifying and there is an odd comfort in that. Yes, this is serious.

It helps that Sunday is a day we often spend around the house anyway: cleaning, cooking, walking the dog. Today nothing feels disrupted and I am aware very keenly that this is a privilege. So instead of anything deep, trenchant, and intelligent, I'll leave it at two photos.

Stay safe. Be well. Take care of one another.
