After months of social distancing, working from home (with a toddler!), and weeks of anxiously and obsessively checking the news and social media for updates related to protests, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd, and the reignited Black Lives Matter movement, to say I'm drained would be an understatement. I'm sure so many of you are also feeling the same way. We have such a long way to go, but please be sure to take care of yourselves, and rest and recharge as you need to.
I'm headed to the beach this weekend with a couple of friends to try and do the same. This is the first trip I've taken since the Covid shutdowns began, and while I'm excited to get away, I'm also a little anxious. There's absolutely a supply of disinfectant spray, wipes and hand sanitizer packed next to my swimsuits for the weekend. This new normal still leaves me mind blown at times. I'll share a little bit more about this weekend sometime next week, along with maybe some tips for traveling during all of this if I find there's anything that especially sticks out to me while I'm gone. Until then, cheers to some much needed rest and relaxation.
