Ten days into Lockdown and I keep forgetting we’re in Lockdown.

Not that I’m going out or walking too close to people or trying to do things I’m not supposed to do; I just keep forgetting that I’m not retired. I am very fortunate that, for now, I am able to continue to work from home.

But this is mostly how I imagine retirement for me would have been before COVID-19. Staying at home, quilting, cooking lunch, knitting, going for a walk around the block, talking to my kids via Facetime. It’s kinda lovely it wasn’t so terrible.

My idea of how my retirement might’ve been may well now be a dream never to be reached. The economic repercussions of this pandemic will last for years (some say longer than the Great Depression) and that might also affect my retirement savings when get to retire, if I get to retire, all those things are floating higher up into the air with each passing day.

Hope you’re doing well; that you’re safe and with people you like who wash their hands often.
