Let’s get the first order of business out of the way, shall we?

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO:

-Healthcare workers of all types and in all roles at all facilities,

-Police officers, firefighters, first responders, and all medical and rescue workers of any and all kind;

-Truck and other vehicle drivers transporting vital goods and products;

-Owners, operators, and team members of grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants and other facilities selling basic human necessities for delivery, drive-through, takeout, or pick-up;

-Those members of the government and media working hard to implement positive change and objectively inform;

-Teachers, childcare, daycare, in-home, and all types of caregivers;

-Small and large business owners continuing to employ, offer healthcare benefits to, and/or insure their staff members;

-Priests, nuns, pastors, deacons, clergy men and women, spiritual leaders, and counselors/therapists; and

-EVERYONE WHO IS HELPING THE OTHER HUMANS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, great or small.

That being said — life is really weird and scary right now, yo.

Yikers.

But, in the interest of trying to help the other humans in a small way (hopefully make them smile a little), I’ve compiled a list of things that I consider the benefits of being home A LOT. 

Now, I must admit that, homebody though I am, this whole cooped up in the casa thing is MEH, to say the least. However, perhaps there are some slight advantages to hunkering down...other than the obvious related to you-know-what.  Some of them are, in no particular order, include:

-Spending extra time with Kyle Kimerer.

-Making homemade dinners for my family daily -- breakfasts and lunches, too, BT Dubs.

—Playing with Monnie, who is suddenly not confined to her crate most of the weekday!

-Catching up on sleep — kinda. I mean, I fall asleep early but then I'm wide awake at 2AM —either way...

-Hanging out with Kyle Kimerer.

-Organizing the lazy Susan for the first time in 21 years.

-Keeping up on the laundry instead of doing 47 loads on Saturday.

-Self care: bubble baths, mani/pedis, and hair colorings a plenty!

-WATCHING THE CHRISTMAS MOVIE MARATHON ON HALLMARK CHANNEL!!!

-Shooting the breeze with Kyle Kimerer.

Here’s the thing about being home bound: it isn’t the end of the world -- especially if everyone in said home is healthy and safe, Capisce?

I mean, Dorothy did teach us that there's no place like home, after all. I know, that one was too obvious. Gimme a break, I've been up since 1:15AM ... on Friday, 'kay? I might be drinking too much coffee at home. 

​Oh well.

Hang in there, Peeps; we’re gonna make it. I really believe that and it’s what I’m praying so hard for from my little home base, a'ight? ​Hope y’all are doing the same.
