Dave, you are right.
While it was "complicated" in the beginning, life seems pretty easy now without the hustle of getting the kids from A to B, being "on time" is quite an abstract construct right now and really doesn't fit into my life (outside work meetings) right now.
This time can and should be used to reconfigure. We've been asking ourselves what makes us happy. And we've found out what we're missing (social gatherings, friends, real hanging out) and what we're not missing (see above for example). We've found out how to grocery shop once a week. I have found out that easy trails bring the greatest joy to my three year old AND me when we ride together using the MacRide, hollering down some easy gravel path, talking to each other loads when climbing up again and then go again and again and again...
Still can't wait for lockdown and shutdown to end asap. But will try to keep some of the new habits. And will put on pants for work again :D
