It feels like life suddenly got weird around here. Dad has been doing a lot of packing his things in boxes. When the move takes place he won\u2019t be around, good planning or what? Oh don\u2019t get me wrong, it\u2019s not his fault and if it weren\u2019t for covid and all the quarantining, he\u2019d be back to help. The problem is that it\u2019s hard to plan for something that you don\u2019t know when it will be and, when you have to quarantine for ten days at both ends of your journey, you can\u2019t exactly do a weekend trip in the way you used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other weird thing is us. We have been used to being at home with Mum all day every day. She hasn\u2019t been anywhere for so long, we\u2019d forgotten that she ever used to go out. It\u2019s been over eighteen months since she broke her ankle and our world stopped. When you think about it when you aren\u2019t even six years old yet (I will be next month), eighteen months is a long time. It\u2019s a quarter of my life. Anyway, now, all of a sudden there are places she needs to go and it\u2019s weird. Shadow and Aristotle came home from kennels yesterday and now we\u2019ve all got to spend a day or so there from tomorrow. I\u2019m quite looking forward to seeing other dogs, but I do worry about Mum being without me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has promised a new normal for a while from Thursday. I do hope she\u2019s right. The three of us start misbehaving when we feel unsettled and don\u2019t really know what to expect. Mum says if it makes me feel any better, she rarely knows what to expect around here either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
