One year ago, I predicted we'd need careful reentry time coming out of quarantine. But did I do that? Nope. The past few weeks, it's been full speed ahead and I'm feeling it.
It's not even just the social aspect. That's hard enough for introverts. But there are so many backlogged tasks all falling upon us at once - going to the dentist, renewing passports, finally getting some home repairs done, getting a haircut.
I keep being late everywhere because I forgot how much time it takes me to get dressed. And I can't judge driving distances. How did I forget that you can't get anywhere in Atlanta in 15 minutes? So then I end up stressed about being late.
And what are we even supposed to wear anymore?! I have my teaching-via-Zoom outfits and then there's leggings. Is there supposed to be something else?
I think I also severely underestimate the impact of working from home while also trying to get my kiddo through his school year. It took motherhood multitasking to a new level.
