Well... Life has changed a lot in the past 2 months, don't ya think? The new normal--waking up to the new death count on the news every morning then deciding how to spend my time and keep away from as many people as possible. I have never been more scared of people in my entire life. And I guess this is reality. This is the new normal.
Since moving back to Los Angeles, I have spent so much time with my family... which I absolutely am loving... I cannot imagine being on my own in a foreign country during the pandemic. I am very grateful to be surrounded by my family throughout this freakishly weird time in all of our lives.
I have had my fair share of life's uncertainties... between 3 hurricanes, tropical storms, tornado warnings and earthquakes... I thought I had just about seen it all. But yeah right. You can't escape Corona even if you tried... and I think that is the weirdest thing about it.
Through this, I have learned a lot about what I like and what I miss.

-Having to go thru a drive-thru for a coffee. I like sitting and sipping my $6 drink. I like people watching as I sip my $6 drink. I like working in a social space as I sip my $6 drink. I guess what I am trying to say is that I like the whole ambiance of an overpriced coffee shop.
