Plus, as I'm an introvert I've been going with the flow with the stay at home order. Like you, I'm worried about the stay at home order being lifted too soon. Currently I'm working from home but my job is in DC. And to get there I share rides with strangers, Uber and use Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-31457545195219104052020-04-11T11:07:23.789-04:002020-04-11T11:07:23.789-04:00Thanks for co-hosting this month and for stopping ...Thanks for co-hosting this month and for stopping by my blog. <br />I can't imagine what you are feeling as a mother and grandmother.

All we can do is wait this out, take precautions and hope. Missing those kiddos is harder than I expected.

That means we haven't seen our kids and grandkids in the flesh for a loooooong time, so I know how you feel. Hang in there.

While I am used to, and perfectly happy in frequent solitude, this business of having no choice in the matter is disconcerting. There’s suddenly a whole new spin on the word “Non-essential” and I don’t like feeling like that particular definition. I do, however, love being reacquainted with nature and having the time to savor it.<br />Family face-time diedre Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772557495518846226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-62309133363358635262020-04-02T11:01:27.579-04:002020-04-02T11:01:27.579-04:00Thanks for co-hosting!Thanks for co-hosting!Debra Renée Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08717966370332027353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388011374794192178.post-91140043533996438382020-04-02T11:00:33.403-04:002020-04-02T11:00:33.403-04:00I'm in the health-risk category, too, so I'...I'm in the health-risk category, too, so I've been gradually minimizing my time outdoors.
