Day 22

I cannot be happy today. Because what we have, right now, at this moment in the great unpleasantness is a lot of sickness, a lot of death, a lot of fear and a lot of what the hell is happening? We are, all of us, scared. If you don’t think you’re scared, then I actually …

Day 11

I didn’t blog yesterday. Something about that number of cases surpassing 50K kind of took me out at the knees a bit and I just couldn’t bring myself to type it! But with every day, I hope we are getting closer and closer to the apex of that curve we’ve all seen. Truly cannot come …

Day 9

Unbelievably, the number of cases in the US now stands at 23,000. I’m glad I’m documenting the day to day growth because honestly, I don’t think I would believe it otherwise. Today was super busy but in a good way – long walk with Scott, a new video on Joyful Living, walking the dogs, cleaning …

Day what 8? 9? I think 8

Numbers update, for posterity: 17,610 infected as of right this minute and the deaths are mounting daily.

They can go outside for exercise …

Day 7 – It’s Hitting The Fan

Numbers wise I am really hoping we are close to peaking but I’m fearful we aren’t there yet. Up 40% from yesterday and we were at close to 9K last time I checked and the deaths are sadly going up a well. But here we are trying to stay positive! I’m continuing to work hard …

Day 6

I forgot to blog yesterday! I’m sure the 4 people reading this will understand. First, the really horrible news. Deaths are up to 100 in the US and reported cases sit at just over 6K so we are definitely heading toward an Italy situation. I’m hearing things on twitter about how the government better not …

Day 4 – Clearly Did Not Overreact

In a press conference today, amidst lots of information about self isolation and the extreme measures we all need to be taking right now, President Trump indicated this “new normal” could last into July or even August. And the stock market crashed AGAIN. And NY, Chicago and LA are closed. Ya know, just your normal …

Day 3 – The Tone Has Changed

I will say, as a country, you can feel people’s what’s the word? Gravitas, maybe? But yet there are so many great stories and so many great people and I feel 100% sure we were get out of this. My hope is that some of the vitriol we’ve been harboring towards “the other” (whatever that …
