Confession: I think I may be getting a little TOO acclimated to not leaving the house. I mean, sure, nature is out there, and I am grateful for it. But out there is where the people are. And unlike Ariel, I do not want to be where they are or see them dance. Unfortunately, I …
Like you, I’m losing all sense of time. Each day is like the one before. Some days are exciting: we get a delivery! Good times. I feel as though the anxiety is ramping down a bit. It seems like we’ve seen the worst, and, as long as the people in charge don’t jump the gun …
I’m feeling more in control–even if that control is an illusion. I actually got a call from my doctor’s office in response to my message about upping the dose of my anxiety meds, and I have a phone call scheduled tomorrow. Anxiety-wise, Kid 3 is having a rough time and is super needy. It doesn’t …

After that was a 5-way heart bypass. You never really came back from that. Though your scars healed and your cardiologist …
