These are unprecedented times. I was going to start this blog back in February but was delayed 2 weeks because work got hectic. Then, Seattle shut down due to coronavirus. Then my company was trying to figure out what our future meant. Then police brutality was brought to the forefront of the minds in the nation. Now it feels like the complete wrong time to try and start a dialogue with you, my friends, about anything.
I am incredibly privileged to not have had this virus affect me that much. This is something I am radically aware of. The worst thing to happen to me is that my relationship with my husband has been put to the test. You’d think after 9 year we wouldn’t still have trials that put us through our paces but this has been a new trial for us indeed.
February marked the end of my maternity leave. However, I now work from home thanks to corona. My husband had been back to work for all of three weeks after his parental leave before being sent to continue working from home. So, after spending the holiday season at home on parental leave, we spent just a few short weeks back in the public before holing ourselves up again.
I miss family and friends. I miss seeing my coworkers on a regular basis. I miss having alone time (but let’s be honest, I’m a mom now so I will never have that back).
This is definitely a learning process that has trial and error. Do you want to hear some of the methods I am using to balance my life and keep the love alive?
