Week 12: 3/22 - 3/28

It is strange how exhausting teaching from home is. It's difficult to separate home from life. The kids struggle too. The disruption of routine makes even easy things hard to do.

I too am feeling the difficulty of disruption. It's difficult sometimes to get moving and everything feels floaty. Time is just passing. Obviously, I'm running classes but it's all very surreal.

I've decided to run home to old patterns and created a mega list. 40 books to read during "the plague". It feels a little like living in The Decameron.  Obviously, I'm not going to get all through this list if we go back to class by April 13, but it'll give me something to work through. I'll try to get the writing going again too.
