Yesterday was my son’s 19th birthday. Normally we would have gone out for dinner, splurged on gifts, and so on. Not so much this year. We’ve given him a rain check on a birthday celebration.
We did go to a local open-air market to buy some vegetables and a few plants to make the house look nice. We’re going to be here a while, and so it’s important to do that. My wife spent some time making a few craft projects for Easter to brighten up the house as well.
My sons and I started a new DCC campaign (Hot Springs Island). It’s totally workable as a long-term campaign if they aren’t rash. It also requires relatively little prep work on my part, which is 100% ideal.
Today we begin the new normal. I got up on time, took a shower, got dressed, and shortly I’ll be headed upstairs into the home office. I have a new monitor to hook up to my work laptop. Fortunately I have a complex problem to work through this morning, so that’ll help things some.
I do have financial concerns about how long the current state of affairs can continue, but for today I’m keeping those concerns basically in check. I’ll go into more of a freak-out mode later on. I have to hold it together for my family’s sake, if not for my own.
It looks like a lot of people are doing what’s right, with only a relatively small number acting irresponsibly. I hope that my actions early last week (colonoscopy, Kamasi Washington concrert) won’t prove to have been irresponsible. If they do, that’ll be upsetting of course.
