January. February. March. These months flew by, with me hard
at work on surpassing 2020 goals. Then BAM! a pandemic struck and suddenly I had
a new bestie (aka my bright red couch) and access to a friend’s aunt’s Netflix login
and another friend’s Hulu login, plus the Parentals’ Xfinity account.
Whew. How does anyone accomplish anything with so many show
options? And so many crazy, I don’t know why I’ve just spent 8 hours watching
this show, shows to choose from? It became a new obsession that I quickly (38
days later) put a halt to, and currently (as of yesterday), only allow myself
to watch shows on the weekend (so far, I’m going strong!).
Oh, did you hear? As of May 1, Texas professional home
organizers were allowed to return to work. Yippee! At the time, my mom and I
were anxiously (eagerly?) awaiting CoVid-19 test results (she had all the
symptoms; I had zero symptoms, BUT we had just seen each other for the first
time in almost 4 weeks and 3 days later she develops a fever and coughing and
no energy. Did I just infect my mother? It turns out…no. No, I did not.).
Anyways, life is somewhat returning to normal for me here in
Houston. And by normal, I just mean that I’m visiting
grocery stores and now working. A little. It feels amazing. Mentally, physically, fantastic.
There’s pure joy in experiencing a productive day. Lots of people are in the
process of moving, so the jobs have consisted of decluttering, packing, and unpacking.
What makes these jobs so much more fun? It’s 2-5 organizers at each one (real
friends are so better than couch friends).
We've offered to wear masks at each job, yet, every client has said not to bother with a mask. We've attempted to keep 6 feet apart, but I’ll be
honest, it’s difficult. Gloves? Psssha, nope. But I have been washing my hands
more often during the day (woot, woot). And no
hugging! Unless the client is a hugger, then of course, we hug.
In conclusion, it’s been an interesting transition from
work-work-work, to absolutely no work (and filling 912 (>endless<) hours
of my life with babysitting nephews, taking hour (2 hour? sometimes 3 hour?) long
walks, listening to never-ending Zoom speakers, and hanging with my new bestie,
Red) to now building back up my business and delighting in every minute of it.
Hope you’ve stayed safe during this pandemic and that you
are thriving in your newly developed habits and (hopefully organized) environments.
