Starting over, again?
What is is about bloggers and their relentless need to constantly start over and announce their return? I don’t know either but here I am. Blame it on the fact that COVID has upended our lives for the past 6 months or.. yeah actually when I think about it thats probably why. COVID. I mean, what? Did any of you expect this to happen? I’ve been working remotely for the past 6 months with an unknown return to office date and I’m starting to feel guilty with how little I’ve accomplished.
Did I re-organize my kitchen junk drawer and sort through the storage containers of American Eagle distressed denim skirts and Charlotte Russe platform heels from my college days? No and no. BUT, in my defense, a junk drawer isn’t meant to be organized and with some minor reconstructive surgery and a seamstress experienced in witchcraft I could probably squeeze a portion of my body in those skirts. Nonetheless. I am bored. I spend my days working, afternoons playing with my toddler and evenings counting down the hours to bed time and scrolling Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok….. you know, those things that your iPhone tracks and then sends a weekly update reminding you how worthless you are by the many hours you’ve wasted staring at your phone screen?
In the beginning of this COVID mess I numbed the pain of uncertainty with boxed white wine and Chris Cuomo’s news updates (sexy growl) and then, I got knocked up. Which I am pumped about! Don’t get me wrong, we were trying and I am very thankful and happy. There are so many women who struggle with starting families and I promise not to take it for granted for them <3. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that being trapped in your house with only your family, for months on end, without booze.. can be trying at times to say the least. Or that I have an alcohol dependency issue. But we’ll come to that later.
So what does a pregnant mom, of an almost 3 year old do to occupy her evenings during a global pandemic so she isn’t forced into watching Bubble Guppies? I guess she blogs?
This blog started back in 2012 and for a while I updated the page regularly but always ending up quitting for some reason or another. I’ve migrated from Blogspot to Blogger then over to the Wordpress worlds and now I’m trying my hand at Squarespace - hoping that a new platform inspires me. With every platform move I’ve struggled with deleting my old posts since the majority of them are cringe worthy but I’m sentimental and have a hard time letting go (hence the denim skirts mentioned above.) So peruse cautiously, try not to judge this blog by its cover too badly and I hope you continue to stick around while I share my thoughts as I work my way out of this COVID mental funk.
Sincerely and Sarcastically,
Nancy.
