Watching: Blippi on Amazon Prime. I’ve held out as long as I can. There are worse things she could be watching and besides…you guys, he’s so cute. I’m 34, right? And married? OK. Moving on.
Listening: For the baby to cry. She just went down for her nap not long ago and I really need to get some stuff done.
Drinking: Coffee with heavy whipping cream and collagen powder. I have water sitting next to me, to encourage me to drink more, but so far this morning it’s been a fail.
Eating: Well I can tell you tonight I’m having Chris grill up chicken and I’m making this amazing side of sauteed zucchini and onions. Seriously. I’m going to double it this time because it’s so delicious.
Wearing: A black nursing tank top and black maternity pants. I have gotten some great things from Stitch Fix and Trendsend, but these days being stuck at home, it’s been the bare minimum.
Anticipating: My Norwex stuff coming in next week. I’ve had some cleaning clothes and paste and the detergent for a year now and love them all. I recently purchased the mop system which I love, and am getting in some kitchen cleaning supplies as well. I’m guilty of using sponges which is weird given my long state of germaphobia, but no more!
Hoping: This social distancing doesn’t last as long as I’m fearing it will.
Following: What else? COVID-19 is a hot topic right now, but I also know my mental health is starting to become affected by all this. There’s a fine line between staying informed and information overload. I haven’t been good at that balance.
Wondering: If Olivia’s preschool is going to be closed for the rest of the semester. There’s just something so sad about that and it’s hard to think about.
Trying: To not think about our current situation in the world, but clearly it’s been all I’ve been thinking about.
Worrying: For my family’s health.
Wishing: Emelia will actually sleep through the night one of these days. A pipe dream I’m sure.
Celebrating: A pitch being accepted by a big media publication. It was one of those pitches I sent off knowing FOR SURE I’d get a rejection. But the editor contacted me the next day with an acceptance for $550! It was the boost I needed.
Going: To get outside with Olivia regardless of the gloominess. I’m not used to being in the house so long without getting out and socializing, so this has been sort of awful even though I’m in full support of it.

I met have to check out this Blippi! I know what you mean about the balance of mental health and monitoring the news…it’s a tough balance, and I’m not doing well with it at times, either. Sending good thoughts of wellness to you and your family. ps Ellie is waking up 2 times a night right now to feed
