There are a lot of things I miss right now, big gaping holes in our life. The kids going to school and seeing friends is #1. Their playing sports. Going to work and being with my colleagues. Seeing my parents. Socializing with friends. Just being out among the world. Work travel. Baseball, my god, BASEBALL.

But there are also a lot of little things that maybe I took for granted but which I really miss.

• Walking N to the bus in the AM.
• Listening to my audiobook in the car.
• My car, in general.
• Seeing Grandma here after piano lessons.
• Buying candy.
• Manicures.
• The library.
• Shelving books at N's school once a week.
• Picking the girls up after school.
• Eating meals outside at restaurants.
• Hugs.

I'm sure everyone has a similar list. As we head into another quarantine weekend, here's to the little things and getting them back.
