My COVID Chronicles - Our little shack

Hey there, it’s me again. Just checking in after a few days at the cabin. A quick visual below. It’s nothing fancy but we still pinch ourselves and we love it all the same. As you can see it’s not the kind of cabin with a guest house, 6 bedrooms, and a dishwasher. There is no running water in the winter, and no furnace. We do love going out there and roughing it. It’s so tranquil and beautiful, especially in the winter.

It is our first year of cabin ownership. Hence the lack of seasonal winter photos.

The fireplace keeps us toasty warm. Oh and did you know there is such thing as a toilet seat that snaps onto a 5 gallon pail?

Yup there is. It’s quite comfortable. And there are bags special made for what you do when you sit on that old 5 gallon pail, strategically placed in our bathroom.

It’s our little shack on the lake.

We stayed there for as many days as we could muster with no shower, limited water, grocery supplies, and a shit pail.

Sorry for the visual.

I’m still having waves of crushing anxiety combined with dooms day scenario’s ripping through my brain. I have an involuntary eye twitch that has just returned. Mostly I just worry about the financial impact of all this.

I’m really trying to subdue this foreboding trepidation with something other than weed and wine.

Just kidding.. I also do yoga and I love to get outdoors, but somedays the need to self medicate is just too strong ;)

But out here, you could almost forget about that world wide pandemic spreading across our planet. Isolating was a whole lot easier. Especially the way we smelled. Just kidding we don’t smell. Well, maybe a bit.
