Is there life outside my living room?

It was a beautiful day today. I know that because someone posted a selfie and complained about the grey sky, so I looked out my window and discovered that the sky here was blue and cloudless. I started my first conference call at 7 am again today, and was on the phone/videoconference almost continuously until about 6:30. I wanted to go for a walk, but then my Mom called. Plus I needed to eat something. During the day, my daughter escaped to pick up a new bell for her bicycle (ordered on-line for pick-up), and did all the groceries while she was out. Some people find grocery shopping scary right now, but I look forward to the excuse to get out. So much for that, this week.

Suddenly, it was 7 pm; almost too late for a walk before dark. But it’s Thursday, which means Zumba with the Rideau Speedeaus swim club! An hour later, I was hot and sweaty (no time to change out of my work clothes into proper t-shirt and shorts), but very happy to have spent time dancing to Latin music. As I cooled off, I checked my social media feed and discovered there will be a social crafting event on Saturday night or Sunday morning. Or possibly a Carole Pope concert on the National Arts Centre webpage - I haven’t heard her live since I was in university.

Maybe there is life outside my living room after all. I just need to learn to enjoy the strange forms it comes in now.
