Researching areas of the world and planning trips is, literally, my hobby. Every year we pick one new place in the world to visit, do a ton of research and plot and plan our trip. About 4 weeks ago, while watching my DS12 play, what would be, probably his last basketball game for a good long while, it hit me that everything I planned for this year would probably have to be cancelled and I think I actually went through some type of grieving process. I've definitely gotten through it and our days now are made up of digging through closets, finding old games we haven't played for ages, cleaning, baking, cooking, isolating and going online hoping I can snag a delivery spot from a grocery store and praying we will get through this at some point, alive, and return to some sense of normalcy. I never thought in a million years that one of the things I would look forward to the most is simply walking into our local grocery store, saying hello to the people who work there who've I've known for so long, browsing the aisles and buying my DS12's favorite ice cream. I never realized what a privilege it was to do, what appeared to be, such everyday things. I, of course, would love to travel again one day, but for now, if DS12 could just go back to school, play with his friends and eat his favorite ice cream, I would be so happy! Here's hoping all on here get through this safe and well.
