I was on FaceTime with my parents this evening and I made a joke about quarantine body. They both chastised me for making this statement and so I quickly assured them I was teasing. However, I then followed up my statement with a description of my shelter-in-place exercise routine and a quick download of my… Continue reading Day 27.

It was raining during my run yesterday morning. I had this silly thought whereas I wished the rain would somehow wash all of this insanity away. A massive cleanse. Ideally, in this fantasy, we would be pummeled by torrential downpours and then it would suddenly clear, taking this heartbreaking and terrifying madness with it. I… Continue reading Day 26.

Years ago, and I mean years (think like 14 ish), I would patronize a local Yogurt & Such around the corner from my office. The woman who ran it was from Pakistan and when I was ordering my boring vanilla frozen yogurt with granola and fruit one day, she offered to throw in her special… Continue reading Day 25.

Validation. Just the word gives me the creeps. And yet….our societal foundation is squarely propped directly on top of that word. Its meaning, its implications, its impact. We thrive and shrink in the face of validation. I was chatting earlier today with a lovely friend of mine and telling her a work story. She wrote… Continue reading Day 24.

I saw this tweet from Andrew Cuomo this morning whereas he advised the public that “[W]e are only in the first wave. We can’t assume that because we are seeing some positive signs this will be over soon or that additional waves won’t hit. NYS will not underestimate this enemy.” Let’s get a few things… Continue reading Day 23.

Hi. Hello there. I am not sure if you noticed I was absent yesterday. I am sorry if I worried you if you are plugged into my posts regularly. Normally I advise when I am going to disappear so I can understand how in the middle of a pandemic, it might be concerning that I… Continue reading Days 21 and 22.

I read a really powerful quote this morning that has stuck with me. It was a statement made by Isaac Asimov, the prolific science fiction writer (and notably he was also a biochemist). I think he is most well known for his Foundation series, but even if you aren’t a sci-fi fan, I imagine you… Continue reading Day 20.

I’ve been having this strange feeling (on top of everything else) and I’m almost loathe to share it. However, I always share, I intend to always share, and if I wanted to not share, this just doesn’t seem like the time. This feels like a time for full disclosure. Why? To keep us connected, to… Continue reading Day 19.

I’m sitting in my apartment obsessing over the rainbow my window prism is making on the floor. Why am I obsessing? It’s not because I don’t have anything to do because I actually have a long list of things to do. I am obsessing because the rainbow is evidence that the sun is out. I’ve… Continue reading Days 17 and 18.

Hey. Leah here. Author of this blog. I decided to give you guys some audio love today. So yeah, you can read (if you prefer) or you can listen. Giving this thing a test drive as I move towards a podcast?! What?! Happy reading/listening. And if these tears should fall and break some ground May… Continue reading Day 16.
