Is There A Quarantine Cure?

Keeping Focus

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the central attention for news reporting this year, and it’s been quite the year! Wherever you are reading this blog, it’s likely that you’ve experienced some kind of quarantine, shelter at home, possibly a COVID-related death in your family or friend circle, maybe you’ve contracted and recovered from COVID and maybe it’s impacted your income, health and perspective. I suspect there’s not a person who is reading this blog that hasn’t been impacted by COVID-19. For me, this pandemic was most drastically experienced in April, when Colorado mandated a shelter-at-home directive, whereby all of us, including my kids, didn’t leave the house except for essential things like grocery shopping. During this shelter-at-home experience, lots of us learned how to Zoom and hopefully you also enjoyed some fun Snapchat filters to make Zoom more zippy and perky. I learned how to put a cat on my head, turn my background into a tropical beach and wear earrings with a beautiful turban for some comic relief.

The Moths Are Gone

I keep finding moth carcasses in my house – under chairs, in corners, beside walls and in window tracks. These are not the treasures I like to find. On the plus side, when I slide open the back door for my porch, I’m not as concerned as I was a few weeks ago about letting moths in the house. For longer than I like, I’d slide open the back door and close it super fast, hoping to let in only one moth rather than the seemingly Egyptian plague of hordes, waiting to make their residence in my house as if they belonged.

Alas, we’ve moved from the live moth infestation to the dead moth carcass collection. I think I like the dead moth adventure more than being startled by a moth coming to life at the flip of a light switch. Now that we’ve shifted into the dead moth season, it reminds me of some helpful wisdom my friend once gave me, “Sarah, this has come to pass.”
