I struggled to write about the events in the US this past week. What to say? How to begin? And so I looked to a former student to help me make a start.

So impending birthdays, too much isolation, and too much hot and humid weather is enough to make anyone feel lethargic. Even me, the great cheer-er-upper.

Have you had days during this social isolation thing when adulting was hard? When you wish that someone else would be the adult in the room?

I had a wobbly weekend, my friends. Felt a bit of isolation anxiety. But like those toys from the seventies, I wobbled, but I didn’t fall down.

What’s your “Isolation Diary” look like? Have you fallen into a rhythm. We have. And it’s a rhythm that I find very comforting.
