2020. Unprecedented times. When we posted last, at the beginning of March, we had just had our trailer stolen from our driveway. At the time, it seemed like a significant event, one that would perhaps define 2020 for us. Within 2 weeks from that post, the world would never be the same.
School went remote. We cancelled patients and for the first time in my 24 years of practicing as a physical therapist, I did not treat more than a handful of patients for 6-8 weeks. Jeff was temporarily shuttered from handyman work as people were nervous of the unknown. Essential travel only was encouraged. The roads were eerily quiet. We made meals at home and baked sourdough bread.
We learned to use Zoom and Teams for meetings and collaboration. High school via Zoom became ‘normal’. The teachers did a great job and learning actually continued. At work, we completed projects in record time: projects that would not have been addressed without a pandemic break in regularly scheduled programming. Projects that will help us grow and flourish. We needed to give the field a break from the plants for it to regenerate the soil for future crops. Projects at home were addressed.
It has been a strange spring. But with warmer temperatures, the world began to bloom and life got back to a new normal. Work resumed with masks. Churches opened back in person with social distancing. Shops started to open, and many stayed closed, possibly for good. People continue to choose carryout over dine in. Walmart and Kroger are no longer 24 hours. We smile at one another under three layers of cotton fabric. Hooha 2020. Hooha.
