Who the hell wants the crap out of my basement? But it is nice to think about the things we really do miss, and it's not as much as I thought. The simpler things, for sure. Antique stores. Books. Same as you, pretty much. lolInsomniac's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713662124096176176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-53806108075177147372020-05-25T11:37:40.548-04:002020-05-25T11:37:40.548-04:00Autumn, thanks for asking.

She's doing better but oh families are complicated. <br /><br />I've been reflecting more and more on what I miss about the outside world and what I hope never returns. I haven't always been the best with setting firm boundaries. I'm working on it. <br /><br />Goth Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304287944330634582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-9717565046254755652020-05-25T11:34:10.794-04:002020-05-25T11:34:10.794-04:00Can I just say how much I enjoy your monthly give-...Can I just say how much I enjoy your monthly give-away posts! Not that I just want stuff but it helps me reflect on what I actually do miss. Right now, it's smells of the outside world-- old bookstores, wooded cemeteries, apothecary shops. Sigh.

I know how you enjoy camping and being with nature. <br /><br />I'm such a rule follower and it pisses me off that others aren't following along. It helps knowing that it isn't targeted to one region. I have friends in Georgia who are just as freaked out about *opening up* as us.

H...I'm truly sorry about your mom's health. How is she presently fairing? <br /><br />Like yourselves, we're holding up well all things considered so far and have been extremely fortunate to have not yet been directly hit head on by the pandemic. Of course that could change at the drop of a hat, but in this moment, we are safe and virus-free (as our our family members).<br /><br />We went into very strict self-isolation in mid-March and have only gone out once so far, though will need to do so again soon to replenish necessary food, medicines, etc. The utmost of safety precautions and least amount of time possible in public will be employed again, of course. We're not taking any risks and definitely wouldn't want to unwittingly spread this devastating illness to anyone else, if we were carrying it. <br /><br />I nodded my head often throughout your heartfelt post and share some of your same hopes. As much as certain aspects of pre-covid life are longed for, there are scads of others that I too could happily, healthily, and appreciatively do without or that I believe we'd be better of with different versions of. <br /><br />May you guys continue to be extremely safe and well as spring tumbles into summer, my lovely friend. <br /><br />Autumn Zenith 🧡 <b><a href="http://witchcraftedlife.com" rel="nofollow">Witchcrafted Life</a></b> <br />Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318046134864811272.post-76514852092864751212020-05-21T15:04:19.383-04:002020-05-21T15:04:19.383-04:00OMG what is it about Walmart and heart attacks! Th...OMG what is it about Walmart and heart attacks! That's where my husband had his last fall while we were visiting our daughter. Jeez Louise, how frightening to have medical issues in these times. I can't even imagine. <br /><br />I've now discovered all the online shops where I can purchase fabric, wool and everything else I'd ever need that I should have looked for when we first moved out here - other than grocery delivery, which I doubt we'll ever see. Still, a twice monthly trip to town for parking lot grocery pickup is likely the route I'll continue to take even after this is all over.<br /><br />I'm finally getting all those little projects done I've been putting off for years! I really miss our library though. Spending way too much on books I don't even enjoy ticks me off. Stay safe and happy, you two!

We've been doing exactly the same thing, except that we don't have parents to worry about. My heart goes out to you! And we don't have a garden. BLAH. I'm going stir crazy without a yard or access to green space. We have plenty of parks around us, but in the good weather everyone is out wandering ... and not social distancing. Ed and I just had a conversation about being rule followers and the frustration of being the only rule followers in our neighborhood. It's enough to drive us crazy.<br /><br />Sending love and hugs.Doctor Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990742017081696114noreply@blogger.com
