Morning Pages: March 29th, 2020
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the D.C. metro region has been in a state of partial lockdown. To alleviate fear and stress, my writer's group has put together a daily "morning pages" get-together on Zoom in order to touch base before starting the day. Here's some of my brief thoughts.

It would be really cool to feed some geese or something else physically alive at this point. I think if this quarantine lasts for a longer period of time, I might want to foster a cat, and maybe a kitten after that. Have my own little baby fur pillow to keep me company.

My brain is pretty fuzzy at this point, so maybe I will try to wrap up this post. Here's something I've found quite satisfying:
