I miss blogging!
I went back to work May 18th and since then it's been a bit harder to find the right combination of time and energy to write. I don't really want to write about work, and with HIPPA laws I can't really tell any of the interesting stories, like the one about the alleged boa constrictor....ooops
Right this moment I'm watching a rerun of a Cubs-Dodgers game from the 2016 postseason. Anyone who has ever met me, or heard of me, or seen me from a distance must know I love baseball and I miss baseball!
I miss hugging my mom.
I miss my book group. We tried Zoom, but we kind of lost our way. I'm still reading even though the library has been closed. (I miss the library too.) I use AXIS 360 or Kindle and get books to read online. I have a couple reliable friends who are generous with their recommendations. But I miss sitting around Pam or Susan's living room with wine and snacks and talking about everything under the sun including, eventually, the book. And I miss the organic process by which we choose the next book and the date we will meet.
I miss hugging my mom.
I miss summer music outside around town.
I miss going to the Normal Theater for films.
I miss going to Heartland Theater for the 10 Minute Plays in the summer.
I miss hugging my mom.
I miss going to coffee shops and hanging out while I finish my documentation at the end of a work day, sitting in air-conditioned comfort instead of in my hot car.
There won't be a baseball All-Star game this year for the first time since 1945, but I won't miss that too much.
I miss in-person church, holding hands at the end of the service and singing Go Now in Peace.
I miss walking the labyrinth together with my meditation group.
I miss my daughter's viola recitals (though I like my private living room concerts.)
Did I mention I miss hugging my mom?
