My hair was getting to be a lot to deal with so I shaved it off at the end of the summer. As much as I wanted to keep growing it out, it was getting unruly and hot.

Back to feeling the breeze on my head.

My apartment lease was up at the end of the summer so I had to drive to NYC to move out. Luckily I only had a bed and some kitchen things up there, so Price and I made the trip up and back in 3 days in a minivan. I sold my desk in NYC and bought a new one in Georgia so I didn’t have to move it.

Since NY had a mandatory quarantine for anyone staying longer than 24 hours, we drove into the city, packed the van, and left all in under 4 hours. We stopped to have a picnic with a friend in PA.

I really enjoyed this road trip, despite the level of difficulty added by the pandemic. We took I-81 instead of I-95 because the scenery through the mountains is so picturesque. This was also my first time driving in NYC!

This is my roommate, Victoria, and I up on the roof of our building. It’s too bad we only got to live together for a couple of months.

At the beginning of quarantine we scheduled a weekly call to keep each other company. The one topic on everyone’s mind: how can we safely do the lake house this summer? It would be our 10th year gathering.

So we did. And it was great. And nobody got the rona. And we continue having our weekly call.

After isolating at the lake house for 2 weeks, I drove to my parents’ house to help them with a move they had planned before all of this began.

Mostly I just wanted to hang out with their dog.

I spent the next few weeks with them during the packing and unpacking. Here they are at their old house.
