Four Things Keeping Me Sane During Quarantine
How are we hanging in there friends? Everyone doing okay? As quarantine stretches on and on with no real end in sight, hopefully we are all finding ways to cope. Honestly, we all just gotta do what we gotta do in order to survive! It hopefully goes without saying that my number one thing keeping my sanity is my husband. He’s a rockstar and taking on a lot of the childcare responsibilities and I would probably be dead without him. In addition to being an awesome dad, he also cooks and makes me eat my vegetables so I might just be the luckiest partner in the world. But I won’t spend this post bragging about my husband (wouldn’t want him to get a big head), instead these are some of the other things keeping me sane during quarantine.
Wine: Duh. The duhest of all duhs in the history of duhs. My wine consumption has definitely gone up during quarantine. Luckily, it was down pre-quarantine because of some heartburn issues, but now that we’re in lockdown, I’m loading up on the Tums and having at it.
Vintage Real Housewives: We’ve got some good seasons happening live, but it’s not enough for lockdown mode. I’ve been going back and watching Real Housewives of Atlanta and it has been saving me every night. I’ve watched sporadic episodes, but never a whole season continuously and these women are magic. I finished season nine and I’m about a quarter of the way through season ten and they’re keeping me sane.
Books: I’ve posted about this a couple of times and it’s for real, y’all. I’m escaping hardcore and reading (and buying) tons of books and I’m not mad about it.
Writing: I haven’t been writing what I “should” be writing, but I guess that’s the one good side of not having a book deal yet, I can write whatever I want! I’ve been working on a new fantasy romance manuscript and I am loving it. It’s been a lot of fun, and there’s no pressure, so I’m definitely finding some solace in my daily writing time.
I’m also taking a lot of comfort in baking and texting with friends, but I would be completely lost with my wine, Housewives, books, and writing. What’s helping you keep it together during these wild times?
