Dutch Lock Down Day One Hundred One

[These Titles Are Getting a Bit Long]

In case you didn’t notice yesterday – we’ve hit the one hundred days of lock down.

And then.

Ow.

But first the news:

My complaints are all physical now which I TOTALLY LOVE cause for some reason physical complaints are so much EASIER than mental ones.

Or something?

Dutch Lock Down Day Eighty Nine

[This is Our New Reality]

I haven’t stopped counting the lock down days because it’s still affecting us here in the Netherlands.

And it still will.

For a while.

But first the news:

The twins have been super mildly sick. As in, the tiniest extra snot. And smallest coughs. No temperature. Full energy.

But.

Dutch Lock Down Day Eighty Eight

[I Just Want to Go to Bed]

We were supposed to have date night tonight to watch the first of a million Marvel movies in chronological order because we just finished watching all of the Star Wars movies in chronological order in order to justify paying the Disney+ 6.99 euros per month because our kids, for whom we subscribed for this service, could not give less fucks.

Except I’m just exhausted.

Dutch Lock Down Day Seventy Six

[Now With More GISH]

With everything else that’s happening in the world and in LeanderLand, I completely forgot about this weekend’s GISH.

It’s a massive scavenger hunt thing.

Normally a week long.

Intensified, shortened, and modified to twenty four hours in light of COVID.

But first the news:

It’s an intense time right now and I’ve been protecting myself, quite a bit – keeping my head in the sand to maintain mental resilience.

Well, GISH just ripped me right out of my comfort zone.

Dutch Lock Down Day Seventy Five

[Is That Really The End?]

Yesterday I worked out with Ifat and I was almost literally HIGH – I felt SO GOOD.

But I had an absolute writer’s block and then I thought, hey, let’s see if we can scope out the pattern of these posts a bit more specifically. IS there a pattern?

Is it pretty? Does it work?

What does it look like?

But first the news:

And, yeah, I figured some stuff out.

Which is nice.

But part of the reason I had writer’s block, why I was thinking about the whole ‘Dutch Lock Down’ format and posts and where I am and what I’m doing here is because two questions came up.

ARE we still in a lock down?
When will you consider it ‘ended’?
