“Quarantine” Day #022
- Listen to entire “Sonic the Hedgehog” computer game soundtrack from the 90s while re-writing the quarterly home budget; walk down that old memory lane
- Get chastised by my six year-old for forgetting to eat lunch (too deep into numbers and dollars)
- Pick up a few pocketfuls of “sunset rocks” in the dry creek bed with the kids during afternoon exploration, while Yali jumps from bank to bank in a knock-off Spiderman cape, green Sharpie scribbled all over one palm, blue band-aid wrapped around one finger, calling after Patience, “Come on, my sister!”

Patience, doing her work with stuffed baby Panda while Mama does her work…
Patience : “Baby bumped his bottom!”
Collette : “Oh yeah?” while checking cost of travelers insurance.
Patience : “He has a big boo boo!”
Collette : “I’m sorry to hear that…” while quickly reviewing Yali’s classwork checklist for Monday.
Patience : “He needs a big band-aid!”
Collette : “That’s a good thing to do, Patience…” leaving to pull laundry together for the washer.
It’s all important to someone.
