I’m beginning to worry I don’t know how to live without chaos. 

We’ve made it through the longest nights of winter. But it’s still winter. My husband caught COVID, so I did as much as I could while I was still testing negative. This included taking my nieces rock climbing and ice skating for one of their birthdays.

I had a family member pass away suddenly, I took in his dog. This means that in about a month I turned our long-time family of three into a family of five by adding a cat and a dog. It’s now like living in a petting zoo. We’re outnumbered. 

I also had classes to take in preparation for ice climbing, first aid, CPR, gear training.

And then I got COVID. And everything stops. But thankfully the chaos remains.
