mom, what's a quarter teen?

^^Things I imagine my children asking me in 10 or 15 years when I talk about that weird time that was March 2020 (and April...and let's be honest...probably May).

Before we were confined to our apartment, I was still mostly at home all day. I've been working from home since December and before that, I was pregnant and I did not have one of those pregnancies where you post glowing selfies and wear cute maternity clothes. Honestly, I was miserable for all 9 months and I seriously considered burning my maternity jeans after it was all over.

Reading the news right now is only helpful to a certain degree. It motivates me to stay inside as much as possible, but it also stresses me out (lit'rally everyone is experiencing this, I am not unique). So then I escape to Netflix, audiobooks, or some kind of craft.

Right now there's lots of memes circulating sayin' stuff like "I was an InTroVeRT before this, my life is no different." But, like, yEAH it is. I'm an introvert but I still miss going to the store or talking to our friends or going to church. You can't say that staying holed up inside all day is normal for you.

Anywho, I've come back to blogging because writing has always been an outlet for me and I ignored it for a year because #PREGANANANT. I have never spent so much time being horizontal, f'real.

Matilda is almost 3 months old now, so I need to catch up. Hence, the resurrection of Will Write for Tacos (lol).
