Curious child:  While playing Eye-Spy, when the younger one offers a clue it almost always results in the answer.

Notes:

Lately I’ve just been a ball of anxiety. Anxious about my business, my wife’s business, the kids’ education, bills, mortgages, staying healthy, etc. It’s hard not to focus on the situation and emerge with a positive attitude. 

The idea of getting out and running an errand - I shop for groceries for our family and the in-laws - seems like it would help at first, but that’s when the reality of the pandemic enforcement (queue control for stores, sanitization reminders, empty shelves) becomes more real. As a result, I end up coming home more anxious than when I left.

And, so, we have cookies… and bourbon.

As I mentioned before, today was supposed to be my daughter’s fourth birthday party. We celebrated as a family a few days earlier as a family and gave her some presents. It just doesn’t feel the same. I feel sorry for her.
