Why does this week feel like it’s been a year long?? Maybe not if you are in other parts of the world, but I think for most (well 74 million) Americans, it felt like this week would never end. Also I guess if you’re in the UK, or any other part of Europe and reading this in lockdown, time might be going slow for you … Continue reading Sunday Reflections // November 8, 2020
Just a quick one today. As we are more settled in our space after leaving NYC, I am sleeping full nights, and feeling much less stress in general, I am turning my attention back to my side projects! Like my blog, my book, (yes you read that right!) my poshmark etc. I always promised myself when this blog got a certain amount of engagement I … Continue reading Big Announcement!
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
On social media today, there is a movement where one posts a picture of a black square. This square is supposed to represent self muting, to give space to people who are trying to educate on the black lives matters movement. It means taking the time off from posting photos of your cat, or boyfriend, or latest baked goods. The black square is acknowledgement that … Continue reading Blackout Tuesday and The Importance of Continuing Education And Advocacy
Another topic I never thought I would be writing about, but how could I not address what’s happening in NYC, Minneapolis, LA, and other cities around the country and the world. First, let me acknowledge the privilege I have to even be experiencing this and writing this. I never knew and probably never will know the fear African American people face when they go out. … Continue reading Peaceful Protests And The Death of George Floyd
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?)
