When all is unwell, we draw rainbows and red cars and bushy trees on our wall outside and listen to the Greatest Showman soundtrack, dancing in shorts that resemble jams from the 90s but cut off mid thigh.
When all is unknown, we make Easter bunnies from our cotton normally reserved for removing nail polish.
When we can't go to the park, we build forts, big ones, with 2 sofas pushed together and 5 blankets as rooftops, and 3 different rooms: one for Pablo, one for mama and one for Mona, the stuffed monkey.
When there's not much new to do, we invent things, like cleaning the windows or cleaning Papa's room he'll be quarantined in when he moves from his airbnb to home in a few days.
When we are disconnected, we end up talking to loved ones more often, and appreciating them and loving them much more then we often do but as we should.
When we go to the grocery store and the pastas, beans, rice are all but gone, we decide, maybe it's time to actually stock up our freezer instead of living our typical European day to day, shop for what you'll cook/ need lifestyle.
When you are tired at the end of long day #can't count anymore and you still need to blog, this is what you get.

Mona approves of this post!
ReplyDeleteI love this poetic and authentic post. The rhythm and repetition are spot on.
ReplyDeleteYour slice is entertaining, yet to the point. I love the simplicity and matter of fact nature of your writing on the matter, light yet responsible. Lovely slice for a "tired at the end of long day #can't count anymore and you still need to blog" kind of night.
ReplyDeleteYour new normals sound fun and tiring and creative. Thanks for sharing.
