Pandemic Edition Sunday March 22, 2020

1. So husband  tells me this morning he 'thinks' he might have the virus. We tried to figure this out. It's been almost a month since he started coughing. He doesn't have any of the other symptoms. I'd love to get him tested to be sure, but even though the idiot in chief says anybody who wants the test can get it? We all know the truth.

2. I refused to listen to today's conference. I just know tRump will be lying and self-congratulating himself. Just ugh.

3. Teen went shopping and called me, "Mom, there's absolutely nothing on the shelves. There's not even any beer or alcohol." **So we all know how some people are coping with being quarantined right now.

Back in 2009, when doctors thought son had the swine flu, we were quarantined for a week. And I thought that was bad. Ugh. This current stay in home order I fear will be longer than 15 days.

4. Thinking I'm going to cook some homemade chocolate chip cookies.


5. Love this

In the meantime, wash your hands, practice social distancing, and we're ride this out!

Week #1 Motivation

“You can sit there, tense and worried, freezing the creative energies, or you can start writing something . It doesn't matter what. In five or ten minutes, the imagination will heat, the tightness will fade, and a certain spirit and rhythm will take over.” – Leonard Bernstein Welcome to: I admit it.  This last month I started off with the right intentions but my one part-time job held me back from doing all I wanted to do. I know, I know. For today I'll be using something out of THE POCKET MUSE by Monica Wood for an idea on how to help kick that muse into working. ...Set an egg timer for forty-five minutes, and don't get out of the chair until the timer dings.  Even if you sit starting at the page the entire time, you're ingraining a habit... What are some ways the rest of you help get the motivation feeling back? Remember I'm cheering for you! Also share what your weekly goals are this week.  Don't be shy! My goal is to finis
