It’s April 10th, and if things had gone according to plan, the stay-at-home order would be ending tomorrow, but it isn’t. It has been extended through April 30th now. The curve is flattening, so that’s good, but I guess it’s not quite flat enough. It seems like people are being a little safer to say the least! I see people in face masks and gloves everywhere now. Even when I’m at the park on runs, people are walking/running on opposite sides of the trails as to keep a safe six foot distance. It also seems like people are being a lot more patient and polite and the grocery store! Lots and lots of “excuse me’s” and “I’m sorry’s”!

As usual, we are keepin’ it pretty chill around here. We had a Meyer’s breakfast (if you don’t know you don’t know), played beer pong, started watching the Marvel movies in chronological order, I took the lead in House Game Wins with a total of six wins, thanks to an epic game of Settlers of Catan. We’ve updated the basement to be a zen meditation and work out room. I improved my mile time by 10 seconds. We all took a two day cleanse. I’ve been doing a great job of taking photos of the small big moments. Streamed an online music festival. Adam got hooked on White Claw… You know, keepin’ it chill.

I hope everyone is staying positive out there! Times are tough! Things are uncertain and scary, the future may seem bleak, and spirits may get low. Especially if you are living alone or in an unhealthy living arrangement. Please know that if you are reading this, and you are struggling that you can talk to me. My dream in life is that everyone be happy and healthy. If you don’t feel safe, or if you feel you need professional help you can call 1-800-662-HELP (4357) to reach the SAMHSA National Hotline. Please know that there are resources out there, and that someone cares! You are loved, you are valuable, you are beautiful! Stay strong. I believe in you!
