Welcome to my blog. I share with you everything I love from culture and community to food and tech.
Enjoy!
All in Life During COVID-19
A poem summarizing one aspect of my experience as part of this community I didn’t realize I would join. The Sandwich Generation is defined as a generation of people in their 30’s or 40’s who are responsible for bringing up their own minor children and for the care of their aging parents. To learn more about this experience, please read this New York Times article, “It’s Pretty Brutal: The Sandwich Generation Pays a Price.”
Reminiscing about past celebrations involving a turkey and how we gathered during a pandemic.
I smiled as we approached the front gate and heard music emanating from the carousel. I LOVE amusement parks; so much so that I worked at one as a teenager. The thrill of going upside down on a roller coaster, the smell of a fresh churro or funnel cake, and the collective energy from fellow attendees screams fun! This was our first time visiting the amusement park together. Masks on and a mini backpack loaded with hand sanitizer and wipes, we made our way towards the entrance.
With today’s unusual current events it is more important than ever to keep our spirits up during an abnormally lonely time. It’s been 50 days since coronavirus arrived in California. Social gatherings have been limited to 250 people, sporting events are canceled and even Disneyland is closed. Aside from going outdoors to exercise or for essential trips to the grocery stores, we don’t have many options remaining but to stay in our homes for the safety of our family and others.
Rice and Spam are not typically part of my grocery list. However given the circumstances, I know these foods will last a while on my shelf so I thought to order some for those just in case moments.
Prior to today I wasn’t paying as close attention to the coronavirus pandemic as I should have been. Little did I know how drastic our lives would change in the weeks to come. Feel free to follow my daily accounts in this portion of my blog.
