i checked. it's sunday and it's easter.
so, um, hi! it's been a while. we're all sheltering in place and limiting our trips outside and being as cautious as possible when we do go outside, right? right.
i got back from new orleans about 4 weeks ago and it honestly feels like a lifetime ago. the bourbon festival i was planning to attend there was canceled the night before i left home, as were other large-scale events scheduled for that weekend, but it was still nice to take a break from chicago for a few days. i got back right before bars & restaurants closed down. i went to the office on march 17 to pick up files i needed and haven't been back since. at this point, i wouldn't be surprised if i'm not back in the office until mid to late may at the earliest.
i'm staying at home in my own apartment. i have food and booze and books and cable and internet and bandanas to cover my face with and toilet paper and paper towels and napkins and clorox wipes (seriously, god bless the inventor of clorox wipes). i've been able to support some of my favorite places and people via various fundraisers and ordering food/booze for delivery. as much as i love cooking and meal prepping, it's nice to take a break every once in a while.
speaking of breaks - i'm hungry and my lunch has arrived. y'all stay safe & healthy.
