Isolation_Stay-at-Home: Winter 2020/2021

Still Another Season - the Fourth - in a Nightmare Year.

This Gallery is 88 days long.

UPDATE NOTE: Unlike my earlier "Safer-at-Home" galleries, there now seems to be very few days that a new, tragic milestone isn't being reached. Therefore, I am having a very difficult time handling this fact with my photography. Happy photos don't go with the narrative. Still, I try whenever I can...

Healthy, we've been in self isolation and staying at home ever since my husband started to tele commute on March 9, 2020. Being self employed, I started to stay home myself a week before that. When we first started our COVID avoidance, I never imagined that the days would turn into weeks and the weeks into months and the months into Seasons. Although still working via telecommuting, my husband is in the "high risk" age group. What effects one of us effects us both. We are in this together. As much as I want the old "normal" of freedom back, our Stay-at-Home "social isolation" continues into the last Season of the year; plus into a new year. Stay-at-Home means not leaving home for anything other than essential activities. It is intended to limit contact with those carrying and spreading COVID-19. Social distancing (which includes Stay-at-Home isolation) helps to avoid becoming ill from coronavirus. This World Pandemic needs continuing new hosts to continue to thrive. We are doing our best to stay out of that equation. Sadly, the disease still continues to find many new hosts in the USA.

We plan to survive the pandemic.

Some of the photos in this gallery will be decent quality photos. Others will be nothing more than quick snapshots of & from isolation. The human psyche was not designed for long term isolation. But with having each other & being able to reach out in a modern cyber world, we are managing. These are my memories for the future when life once again someday finally returns to normal. My photos and notes are memories of history survived. Once life someday finally returns to "normal", I know that I will have a hard time believing all the things that have been happening in 2020/2021 - even having lived through it. That's why I am recording statistics, news from the day, and personal thoughts. This is history lived.

A fine chronicle of your stay-at-home winter. Let's hope you won't have a similar one next year.
