Q is for Quarantine

We are now beyond two months into the Great Quarantine of 2020. What I have learned is that there are good days and not so good days, just like in Before Times. It's good to occasionally stop and take stock of how a day or a week is going.

My lows this week:

• I have not been very productive between my meetings and Canvas Conferences lately.
• Technology left me very frustrated and demoralized on Tuesday.
• My window visit with Mom last Saturday felt so inadequate.

My highs this week:

• I'm finally feeling more adept at Canvas Conferences for student support.
• Student alpha-biography writing/commenting is more interesting all the time.
• Mom's Care Plan Zoom Meeting on Tuesday went well, and I got to FaceTime with her afterwards.
• The Friends of Urban Agriculture helped us get some mulch into the garden.
• Jose scraped, power washed and repainted our front stoop and railings on Wednesday.
• Molly's HBW 2020 Graduate sign showed up in our yard on Monday night.
• Will has finished all of his assignments for the 2019-2020 school year.
• The new neighbors have moved in and are very happy with their new home.

I guess as long as the highs outweigh the lows I should count myself among the fortunate. Which I do, every single day.
