I have lost track of what day it is and how long we've been doing this. We're somewhere in May. Our last day of school is on the 22nd, thank the good lord Jesus.
Everything has been canceled. Graduation has been postponed until July and Prom won't happen at all. My son's favorite Irish group, The High Kings, was supposed to tour in America this summer and now they won't be coming back until next year. Just as an aside, if you happen to be reading this, and you happen to like Irish music, check them out. They are amazing, especially the divine Darren Holden.
My friend and I had tickets to Dear Evan Hansen in Chicago in July but that's been canceled, too. All the local pools will be closed and most summer programs have been canceled. This will be one long summer.
But on the upside, we've been having more family dinners together at the table than ever before. We've been playing games together. I finally tried making sourdough bread and I'm pretty good at it. I'd love to say I've been reading and exercising more, but I have not. We're getting through the days one at a time.
Eventually this will end and I really hope we take some of the good stuff with us. I really want to go to concerts and plays again, but I also want to keep having dinners at the table with my family. It's increasingly hard as our kids get older and more active but hopefully we can make it happen. More later.
