Quarantine has meant spending a whole lot more time together as a family. It’s been wonderful and challenging. There are so many extra dishes to wash, but they come from all those extra family meals we get to eat together. We go on walks and play games together some days, but on other days we barely leave our own rooms. We’re all online for classes and meetings and getting work done so by the end of the day, technology has lost its glamour. It’s a strange mixture of great and horrible.
