My home, my haven. Lockdown was a safe place amidst the chaos seen on the screen. It was family coming home to study uni online. The day to day on our farm ticked over unhindered. It was online shopping to avoid town. It was using up the pantry and giving myself the challenge to stay away from needing to go to town. It was the shock of how life and shopping for groceries had changed when I finally did venture out. The shock of how expensive cheap crappy toilet paper was when that was all that was available. The joy and tears when listening to the midday news to hear that 2 adults could now visit another household and being able to visit children and grandchildren so far away that I missed so desperately....that's when I realised that even an introvert needed to breakout after being in isolation and start to tentatively reconnect into this new normal.
