A new month= new time to focus on some personal goals. Every year, I try and push myself to read more than I did the year before. Last year (2019-yes that was really last year) I read 20 books. My goal this year was 50, and as we head into November, I’m only at 25. So I might not hit the full 50, but proud … Continue reading To Be Read// Nov 2 2020
I never thought I would be writing this post. Or I did, but rather in the context of I’m moving to London. Not I’m moving back to New Jersey. I never once in all my years growing up near NYC thought I would want to leave it so badly. I hate to be one of those people, that are like “NYC has died”. Let me … Continue reading Goodbye For Now NYC
There is nudity everywhere. Weird way to start a blog post, especially as I know I haven’t written as much as I had hoped to over the last few months. Let me tell you what inspired this post. Last Saturday, I crossed the street and walked three blocks south and made a quick left and entered my nail salon. My hands were sanitized, my temperature … Continue reading How the Pandemic Has Changed Me And My City
Over the last few months, I’ve started a lot of posts, and yet none of them felt quite right. Today, I really felt inspired to catch you all up on my life. As the title says, the most exciting (??) thing that has happened to me in a while was my COVID test this morning. In NYC, we still can get results very quickly (unlike … Continue reading 166 Days Into Quarantine, I Finally Got a COVID Test
Today is officially the start of month three in quarantine. Or social distancing, or isolation, or whatever you want to call it. After we received our antibody tests and found we were negative for the antibodies and the active (bodies?) we headed to my parents house to isolate there for two weeks. Unfortunately, I found out our test was not FDA approved and not very … Continue reading Day 61 of Quarantine
I recently scrolled past an article on why people who are still going out to get groceries, go for essential exercise, etc. should not be saying they’re in quarantine. But I didn’t read it so I’m still calling this quarantine. Actually at first, I think I did know the difference between social distancing, quarantine, and self isolation, but 42 days into whatever this shit is, … Continue reading We got An Antibody Test in NYC On Our 41st Day of Quarantine and This is What it Was Like
Quarantine day??? Just kidding, it’s day 26 for us here in NYC. Things are progressively weirder everyday. The good news from NYC (even though I am trying to avoid the news lately) is it seems that even though the rate of death is increasing, the rate of hospitalization is decreasing. Which hopefully means social distancing is working. Obviously, even if it is working, I know … Continue reading Hey There All You Cool Cats and Kittens
Tomorrow, we officially enter week 3 of quarantine. I’m not going to lie, I’m finding I have a lot more to say than I thought I did about coronavirus. Dave and I keep saying we need to make an hour a day where we don’t talk about it at all because the amount of information can be overwhelming. The other day I actually looked for … Continue reading Day 14 of Quarantine: Putting my criminal justice (and Law) degree(s) to some use (did i mention this was supposed to be a travel blog?)
As I Xed off the days on the calendar that hangs on the corkboard near our refrigerator, I realized we had been inside for more than week. Not literally, as we went for a walk on Sunday, and I went for a walk today. But we haven’t eaten out, been to work, the gym, therapy, the football factory, or any of the other places we … Continue reading Quarantine day 8- We've officially made it past week 1
If you’re not new here, you know I’m absolutely no expert on the coronavirus. This was supposed to be a travel blog ffs. But, during this time, it feels highly inappropriate to post about travel, so this blog has turned into a defacto journal I guess. This post will focus mainly on what I (and Dave by proxy) have been doing to keep busy instead … Continue reading Ways to keep busy during self isolation/ quarantine/ social distancing
