I found this photo I took in April 2020 that I called "Quarantine Still Life." Enough time has passed that I feel sort of nostalgic for this time? A negative nostalgia? The pandemic was scary and bad, but this the changed lifestyle it caused was also strange and interesting. It wasn't QUITE dull and sluggish and brain killing yet.

I was tested for COVID for the first time this afternoon. I have a sore throat. It's probably nothing, but because my husband works with kids, it's better safe than sorry in terms of knowing; so we can protect the kids from exposure if need be! I awkwardly walked through the drive-thru testing station, because my car is dead. No result yet, but the verdict is in that I was annoyingly twitchy with the swab up my nose, according to the nurse.
