Yesterday I thought it was Wednesday.<\/p>\n
All day long.<\/p>\n
I thought it was Inauguration Day.<\/p>\n
By the end of the day I wondered why I wasn\u2019t seeing anything online or anywhere. Did I seriously MISS IT? I actually ASKED someone I worked with.\u00a0 “What time is this inauguration?\u00a0 Did I actually miss it?”<\/p>\n
By the time I figured it out, I was more than a little embarrassed.<\/p>\n
A little bit relieved I didn\u2019t miss the excitement of the day. But I couldn\u2019t understand how I could miss something so big and mix that up.<\/p>\n
Has that ever happened to you?<\/p>\n
I very much blame the pandemic. I am working at home and have been since April. It\u2019s so easy to feel disconnected and out of touch from the world. Even with the internet at your fingertips, I still got lost in the day. I was even convinced my favourite show – This Is Us – would NOT be on because of the Inauguration and all the events.<\/p>\n
This is the part of working from home, and following a stay at home order that is so hard.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have conversations with people anymore outside our home. If I had been at work yesterday, I would have said something in conversation to another co-worker who would have laughed at me for way too long for thinking it was Wednesday – I didn\u2019t have that. And your personal bubble on social media isn\u2019t always the best reflection of the world around you. If you\u2019ve mixed up your days – you aren\u2019t alone. If you\u2019ve forgotten events or celebrated them early – you aren\u2019t alone.<\/p>\n
So just to remember.\u00a0 It is WEDNESDAY.\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n
