The Corona Virus Blues
Similar to a lot of folks out there, starting Monday my kids will start distance learning. Our local schools have closed their campuses till at least April, and possibly longer because of Spring Break or further changes in our new normal.
For the moment, we can still go outside. But from what I’ve heard from family in Italy, this might change. We can still visit our local park for a walk, maybe get the bikes out and do a local bike ride, possibly even go for a hike. However, a lot of my usual options for weekend adventures with the kids are quickly being taken off the table regardless of the precautions we might take.
Personally, I’m trying to remain present, prepare as best I can manage, and keep a positive outlook. Honestly, though, it’s already feeling tough.
Around the house, I’m trying to find things to break up the monotony, try a new recipe for dinner, weed my little garden pots, clean…
The one thing I can look forward to is getting back out for regular weekend adventures. These trips bring me happiness. Which makes this opportunity of being stuck home my chance to make some plans.
I’ve had this idea for a book detailing weekend adventures around the San Francisco Bay Area for quite a while. This seems like as good of a time to put that idea into practice. And why not share it with all of you?
