During COVID lock downs, I was writing guidance, keeping track of case numbers daily, and checking in with one friend or family member per day. When I went down to make dinner, I knew I had to get my energy up for my kids who had done school from home. I'd sing Home at Last by Steely Dan, just the chorus over and over. I don't have the rest memorized. The song got me through.
This was during lock down. They were home all day with my son doing high school in various parts of the house and my daughter doing college in her room and my husband working in the master bedroom. I, as a freelance writer, already worked from home in my office. An writing guidance 60 miles from the epicenter in NYC was surreal.

Ah, great choice for a song! What a lovely way to prepare for having your kids home.
