Quarantine Sunday, April 19, 2020
Happy Ukrainian Easter, everyone! “Khrystos Voskres!” “Voistynu Voskres” ****** I had a horrible realization yesterday, but it wasn’t about the world, it was about me. However, in the world, Canada and the US extended their border restrictions for 30 more … Continue reading

Quarantine Friday April 17th 2020
Day 36 of the quarantine and day 2 of my pepper plant experiment – and it’s still alive! (as are we.) Also, we tried something that could have ended in horrible death or mutilation. In the outside world, there were … Continue reading

Quarantine Wednesday April 15th 2020
Joy can come in the oddest ways these days. At 10am and 4pm, I was almost delirious with happiness. However, a lot more happened today than that. Outside our house, in New Zealand, their prime minister took a 20% pay … Continue reading

Quarantine Monday April 13th 2020
