Where do I start...

Well, right now things are running wild in my head about how much our world has changed in only a small amount of time.

Before the spike of the coronavirus hit me and my family were travelling to the other side of Australia, Until we arrived at a small town in SA where our ears were constantly listening to updates on this pandemic. The Borders may be closing, those words changed a very special holiday. The sad thing is we are only making this trip was because my sister lives in WA
The next day we packed our stuff up and headed home with a few days with around 6 hour drives until the last stretch with 16 hours of being confined in a car knowing that when i get home i wont even be able to see the ones i miss the most.

Don't leave unless necessary they said, that was the hardest thing. Being so close to people that bring joy to you but in your mind and reality you can feel their presence. You sit there with levels of boredom going crazy remembering the last times you saw them, heard their voice.

starting online school, what a pain . Independence is key, but when you sometimes struggle with understanding things like maths, for the first time I said to myself I can't wait to go back to school.
while I sit here and type I am looking out my window at the beautiful outside world that used to be filled with so much joy, now you aren't always allowed out.

Though the restrictions are lifting and we are going to school once a week starting next week. its weird to think that getting up was a normal occurrence

That was Covid19 isolation 2020
