Virtuality Taking Over

You probably heard that virtual reality would be a thing of the future.. well, we are here. we have arrived.

With schools being shut down, all extra curricular activities canceled, theaters closing, music festivals and such canceled, what are we to do as a society, to keep “alive?”

We are resorting to technology, and live streaming of events.

My kids are involved with Pathfinders, Cub Scouts & Martial Arts.

Our Martial Arts classes will be doing virtual classes starting this evening.

Pathfinders is also doing live classes, as well, as some activities online with due dates.

(However, Cub Scouts just announced that they still want to plan the pinewood derby next month, as well as a family campout, and resume meetings April 7th.. I don’t even think so…. at this point. If we are not in school, I’m certainly not entertaining the idea of any other activities)…

Just when I’m settling into our relaxed new normal, with no demands, no activities, enjoying the down time, they find a way to interfere.. haha

Technology can be a great thing, but I have personally been enjoying this escape from everything life. I long for simple times, and quiet, calm, just us at home.

But, I will fulfill the duties that we signed up for, and make my kids “attend” the things.. Afterall, we are not quitters, just wanted some down time. I love all of our activities, don’t get me wrong.

I’m still working at home from 7:30 til 5 though, so it’s hard to transition from work to right away, another activity, when I just want to get away from technology.. you know?

It’s invading my life..

I’m sure the kids don’t mind one bit.. it’s just me….

that’s all.
