Well..this is weird.

I don’t want to sound like an expert in the medical field..and I don’t want to write anything that may be a false directive, but things sure are strange out there right now!

I’m writing from San Diego. At the time I am typing this post, we have a couple of locally stationed Marines that have tested positive, and health care workers at UCSD have also tested positive. I see people on facebook who are tagging themselves at bars, parties and restaurants.. and people who also are quick to inform me that the Flu is a bigger problem than COVID-19.. I don’t want either illness.

I still can’t sleep properly because of the clock change last weekend, so I have been reading a lot and sorting through the information the best that I can. Schools are already closed, a lot of the tennis is also cancelled..but not all at the moment.. We have some food, one package of toilet paper (I read a great behavioral article on why people are going insane for toilet paper).. I usually have some food on hand anyway..am I the only one who stocks an earthquake kit??

Here is what we are going to do, at the minimum: We are going to listen to the CDC for a week or a little more. This is a great article that I came across. I am not ordering food, not going to restaurants or social gatherings..and I have cancelled my beloved happy hour plans that occur once per week. A couple of years ago, my daughter had bacterial pneumonia to the brink where she was almost hospitalized.. her fever was 104 and she was crying in pain…I can’t imagine something like this happening and needing to go to the hospital..only to have the hospital full and doctors too busy to help us…with things that could have been prevented.

We are staying home. I am available on all of my social media channels.. if you are a student and want to reach out for questions or comments on your online workshop lessons, I am here and would love to hear from you. Not a student, let’s connect on instagram or facebook.. I’m hoping for some chit chat to pass the time.

I’ve also reduced the prices on many of my online abstract painting courses.. yesterday we watched a load of netflix and it was tough. lol Hopefully I can lend a hand and help you take your mind off the pandemic by inspiring you artistically. Here is a link to the workshops.

Stay well!
