Today marks the end of our quarantine. As such, I have now had 14 days to sit in relative isolation with my thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Here are a few that stood out to me
First, how unbelievably lucky Ciara and I are.
Not only because one of us was able to land a job across the country in the middle of a global pandemic, but that we have family and friends up here in Whitehorse that are willing to support us and give us shelter while we figure out the rest of the details. On top of this, we have an amazing group of family and friends back in Ontario that have helped us get to this point. Helping us pack, move, sell belongings, or just listening to us when it all got a little too stressful.
Second, if you are quarantining with your partner, you will probably annoy each other.
(And that’s okay)
Some people are totally okay spending 24/7/365 with one person, other people want to be solo all the time, but most of us land somewhere in the middle of that range. It’s also likely that you and your partner land at different spots in the range. Take this as an opportunity to learn more about how the two of you can communicate best what you need (and don’t).
Third, get outside if you can.
It’s easy to fall into a cycling of watching entire Netflix seasons, or falling down YouTube rabbit holes. If you take the time to step outside (as long as you are legally allowed to) and do it in a safe manner it will help keep you a little less cranky. Who knows, you might see something cool while you’re out there.
A little shorter of an update this week, but now that we are done our quarantine we can actually get up to some adventures (including adventures in bureaucracy as we get everything set up and changed over).
See you in the mountains.
