# 2020 so far
|
|
|
|
This has been a stranger year than most, even when not taking COVID-19
|
|
into account.
|
|
|
|
Buying a house, selling our apartment, renovations, contractors taking
|
|
our money and then ghosting us, water damage under the floors -- and
|
|
more!
|
|
|
|
Shoulder dislocations aplenty; when moving appliances, hastily grabbing
|
|
a coffee cup before our boy did, when stretching out my chest, when
|
|
sleeping with my hand behind my head.
|
|
|
|
Funeral attendance over Zoom. I had to put my distrust of Zoom aside for
|
|
that, not my hill to die on. Most of our combined families are in Sweden
|
|
whereas we ourselves are in Norway. The lockdown has made the 600 km
|
|
divide between us accute.
|
|
|
|
This is a personal memo to remember these 6 months, and that freedom to
|
|
travel is a privilege and not a right. Throughout my life borders have
|
|
become looser and easier to traverse, and it has been an assumption of
|
|
mine that it would continue in that direction. One virus is all it took
|
|
to fundamentally challenge that.
|
|
|
|
Half the year to go, I wonder what lasting changes we'll see.
