Apparently, it’s been 9 months since my last post. Right now, Z and I are in lockdown from a global pandemic. We’ve been here just about 3 months. School is closed. We’re both losing it from the isolation.

I thought being a single parent was hard before but now I’m supposed to work full time and also teach Zänd from home when I get done with work. It’s not great. I’m definitely not going to get the teacher or parent of the year award.

I hate teaching him, mainly because he hates sitting still and learning boring shit. We’re both so stressed out there are days we skip “school” entirely.

Being “on” as a parent non-stop all day while also working from home is draining. I’m not up for this. I’m tired. I don’t want people to die but I’m worried about my family’s mental health.
