It went surprisingly well. The kids were relieved to have structure and leaned into it - and the house was cleaner today than its been any Monday afternoon in weeks..
I thought of something that i meant to talk about yesterday... Something that i have found so strange about the last couple of weeks with the stress and strain of this pandemic bearing down on us has been just how tired thinking about it makes me. Seems to be making all of us... i am sure that part of it is that i am staying up too late reading and thinking about it... new stories... projections... and then I have to stay up later to read or watch something to take my mind off of it... so the late bedtimes are a factor... but each morning just knowing that i have to get through another day of regular stuff when it all seems so insignificant in the face of this historical moment. Getting through the mundanity of expense reports and thinking about deadlines and due dates seems... well... less important even than usual... The kids did great.- they are working through it and we will too...
