![]() The new normal that was unfolding before us – things forced to close down, people losing jobs, so many getting sick and dying, the reports of the economy tanking – was mentally taking its hit on me. One may assume that with all things to a halt in March, and lesser and lesser expectations of us from the outside world (and a new baby that sleeps all day), that it would be easier to get back to my promotions of lockets and charms due to more time. We’ve now been home for a full month except for trips to Costco and CVS and that was also included daddy as he too was home with us due to paternity leave. Weeks before school closures went into effect for my state of California, shelter in place, social distancing and lockdown was already self- imposed on ourselves. We stopped taking them to our homeschooling co-op and enrichment classes at their charter campuses before anyone really knew what to do with the news of Covid-19. We simply made sure our needs, necessities, and most important things including our school aged kids were home with us by the close of the month. I didn’t know what to make of it but he went into prep mode almost immediately to help ensure that the baby, me, and the three older kids would be alright when he returned to work today. As I mentally prepared for it, hubby brought me the news about a potential pandemic that was brewing. When the baby came out on the last Sunday of February, I said, “I’ll relish and deep dive, keep record of my new mom moments and share this beautiful life like I once did on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. I almost changed my baby’s name to avoid the perception of him being named after a movie after I heard about the movie, but in the final hour, we kept the name. We named him Maverick Eli, before I even knew a movie was coming out with that name, and even before I watched the movie Top Gun that this Maverick guy is based on. Speaking of baby, we have added to our nest another human. With that said, I am only on here right now because I am up at 630am in San Diego typing on my phone while the baby is in his bassinet asleep within my arm’s reach. Many other things take precedence and the things you need to do takes up more hours than the things you want to do. ![]() It’s not as easy as “If I want to make it happen, it will happen.” If you’ve lived enough life, you will find that wanting to do something is simply not enough. ![]() Honestly, it’s the present, more urgent, and the priorities that that keep me from doing a lot less than I want to on here. I tell myself, “Today, I will!” and then LIFE happens. I have not updated nor posted anything new on here since Christmas time. I am back to doing more with Origami Owl.
