This captures the heartbreaking (and heart-racing) instability that defines each day in quarantine, and you did so with the lyrical refrain that is running through my head every day. Writing works when someone else says something that you have been wrestling with, but haven't quite been able to formulate in your own mind, or articulate. Thank you, Courtney.

You did it again. Said, so beautifully, what is in my head and weighing on my heart. I just agreed to volunteer at the Farmers Market (is that ok?); I just rescheduled my dentist appointment that was cancelled in March (is that ok?). The list goes on and on, and I ache. I'm so grateful for you Courtney. I want to hug you (and I know that's not ok ... not yet)
