Fourteen weeks since COVID-19 wreaked havoc in Oregon. In hindsight this amount of time almost seems trivial. Many of us had the mindset that this would last maybe 5-6 weeks and we’d resume some kind of “normal”. Truth is at this point I’m resigned to just going with the flow and dealing with things as…

COVID-19 Wk 12: Some Me Time
