Life is good

I’m writing from the back porch of our inn on Cape Cod right now. We’ve been here since Friday and plan on staying until Wednesday when we’re headed down to New York, and then to Baltimore.

Traveling during this pandemic has been a testy subject and we were back on forth on it for a few weeks. We ultimately decided that we felt safe enough given the recent research and both of us being low risk.

We still plan to take all precautions. We’re staying outdoors, keeping our distance, and getting tested regularly. It’s not zero risk, but we’re comfortable with it.

We both were feeling a bit on edge with the last few months of work and everything going on. We’re just happy and grateful that we were in a position to get out and unwind a bit. There has been a lot of beach time and biking around mixed in with many lobster rolls.

We both plan to work a little bit this week, but taking a couple days off with reduced schedules. The one benefit that was probably available to me, but not available to Sophia prior to the pandemic was the option of remote work. We can now work from nearly anywhere and we plan on doing just that for the next couple weeks.

We both brought portable monitors with us so we’re going to test out the remote work life style and determine if this is something that we want to take more advantage of in the next few months. There’ll be a few challenges, but I am excited to try and see if we can make it work. Perhaps we’ll use this to our advantage and be digital nomads for the rest of the year.

I plan to eat at least a few more lobsters between now and when I leave on Wednesday. Life is good.
