Oh, Omicron / Oh, Omicron
By now, we’ve had enough strains of coronavirus to start a frat house: Beta Delta Omicron. Since the last time I wrote, I talked about how much I didn’t want to wear masks again at work and guess what happened right after that post? We had to wear masks again. I am thankful for it…
Delta Fires
Hey everyone! Two months ago, I had mentioned how bad I wanted to work without a mask again. Shortly after that post, my employer allowed us to remove our masks as 70 percent of us had been vaccinated. I’ve spent the summer working, going to the bars, a concert, eating out, seeing friends (no traveling…
One Year and Three Months
When I first began this blog and pitched it to History Colorado, I was told my deadline would be around October… of last year. It’s halfway through 2021 now and I see my deadline much closer than I did then. Since my last post, spring came with some ideas that I had been thinking about…
Winter 2021
Is it over yet? The days are becoming longer (yet not quite warmer), and in a few short weeks, it has been a year since I first began quarantine. I would just like to say how proud I am of myself for how far I’ve come. I left a bad marriage, I moved into a…
Waiting
The pandemic has ruled about eight months of my life now. Still masked. Still unemployed. Still searching for that light at the end of the tunnel. As someone who looks forward to traveling and eating and exploring, I feel trapped. Especially now that restaurants can’t offer indoor dining anymore. I did take a quick break…
Fall 2020
What has been up? A lot has happened since the last time I wrote. I summited a mountain and camped overnight on a mountain range near Turquoise Lake. It was my first time backpacking with about 20 pounds (hey, I’m a little person!), a 16-mile total hike. As much as I wanted to do it…
Summer 2020
Traveling I know, I know. This is a big no-no, considering the circumstances. It’s also the reason I’ve been absent from posting so I apologize on my end. About mid-June, I ventured to Missouri to visit my family. I hadn’t seen them since Thanksgiving and really wanted to be home since I had quarantined for…
No Justice, No Peace
I would be amiss to not note the protests that have been occurring for more than a week now in the streets of Denver and every other city in the rest of America. On May 25, George Floyd was wrongfully murdered by Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin who knelt on his neck until he died. Every…
Face Masks
When the CDC required people to wear face masks in public spaces, it was only natural there would be pushback. I think the biggest problem was that CDC-approved masks (cotton doubled-up and a filter for safe measure) were not supplied to us like our stimulus checks were, so how did they expect us to comply…
A Web of Lies
As lovely as social media is, we have also seen the downside of what this virtual connection can do to us. One of my biggest pet peeves is the amount of complaining I’ve seen. Posts, rants, comments (thank goodness for memes.) And in a social media driven world, we cannot allow this negativity to go…
