TEEN BOOK WARNING

This is my official TEEN BOOK warning. I have put it here so that you know about teen books. If you have read a one of my reviews of a teen book and feel like you want to try reading it, please read this. If you are just browsing my blog please read this. I want nothing to do with you getting in trouble for reading a book, so please refer here before blaming me for not waring you.
I review TEEN BOOKS. These books tend to deal with some slightly more mature themes and ideas that are not necessarily what your parent(s) (unless you are a parent, in which case you (Or you're a teacher in which case the parents of your students)) would want you to read. If the authority figure which may be your parent(s), the parents, or you the parent says go for it, have fun, or if you have any questions come to me etc., then fine by me go ahead but as the friendly blogger behind the screen I feel the need to present this information before I delve into the nitty-gritty-fun stuff.

We've Been Social Distancing For A Week Now (But It Feels Like Forever)

Hi!
So we've been social distancing for a week. Maybe longer depending one where you are. I have only left my house and interacted with people I'm not related to in person twice in the last week. It's beginning to feel like torture. I've cleaned, and cooked, and done laundry and generally been a housewife. And I'm tired of it. I want to go see people. I get why we need to do this. I really do. There are others who would be a lot worse off than me if they got it and I don't want to be spreading it around. That being said LET ME OUT OF HERE. I want to see people again and talk to them. I want time to actually have meaning again. What does it matter if its ten or two? It makes no difference in what I'm doing. Normally I have a schedule, it gives the day meaning.
Today I went outside with my dog. I stood in the light rain and looked at the flowers growing in my yard and the grass. I jumped in puddles. It was honestly amazing. I felt so much better just being outside in the fresh air. It may be rainy, which is normally a reason for me to stay inside, but today just being out brought me joy.
Good things are coming out of this social distancing/quarantining too. There are dolphins in Venice for the first time in sixty years, and they water is clear. There are blue skies in China because the factories are closed. Maybe we can learn something from this and preserve the beauty we're gaining from not being out.
I've been able to do some things I've been putting off while I have all this time. I've copied my notes from classes down legibly, cleaned my room (it really needed it), and blogged more. And I had a movie night with my friends. Netflix Party is an amazing thing, we all live far apart (me more than them) but we managed to watch A Cinderella Story together in our homes and chat while we did. All y'all need to check it out. You can download it from the chrome store and movie night away. I may see if I can get CA on here to talk about A Cinderella Story with me. That would be fun. You hear that CA. We should try to do that.
Well happy social distancing (I hope you don't go crazy),
Merlin:)
