Are we flattening the curve? It seems that the numbers are not climbing as sharply in our country at present, or is it the calm before the storm? I sincerely hope it’s the former, and that we are winning this invisible war with the swift action taken, and the stay-at-home orders from our president.
I pray that the other parts of the world that are severely affected, find solutions soon and minimize the loss of more lives.
I have lost count of the days in lockdown... They are all blurring together in a frenzy of cleaning house, tidying up and packing, and unpacking the dishwasher. Our dishwasher has never worked harder than during this period!
I am cleaning house like we are getting visitors, but as soon as my back is turned, it seems like 2 mini toy tornadoes hit the area I just cleaned... This is messing with my OCD, and the more I tell myself to chill and let it be, the more I clean against the endless rage of mess around me!
The last couple of days have been hectic at home. I can honestly say that I am definitely not bored during the lockdown, with these kiddos keeping me busy, tending to work stuff, and just general day to day activities at home. Also binge-watching a series on Showmax, when it's my 'turn' for TV time - which is usually late at night.
It’s been a trying time, with the death of a close family member; a 2-year-old birthday during the lockdown; needing to find a new job ASAP and companies not hiring at present; and then the rain keeping us inside our house for the last day - adding to the angst of it all.
I have been very down these last couple of days, dealing with the realities of life while confined to our house, with the rain pouring down. A good friend reminded me that the sun will come out again tomorrow. It was hard for me to see, with the dark cloud hanging over me. But today is a new day, the rain washed the earth clean, and the sun did come out.
And then there are the muddy puddles left by the rain... which immediately sent my little one running for her pink rain boots. Jumping in muddy puddles is one of her favourite activities, courtesy of her favourite series - Peppa Pig.
Laundry is on the agenda today. Loads and loads of laundry, while the sun is shining...
I try to stay positive while I dream of happier times... times we watched the sun set over the ocean from my father’s house. I am reminded that the sun will rise again tomorrow.
Stay safe. Stay home. Let’s help flatten this curve together.
