Intellectually, I knew that this second lockdown was coming, just in time for the holidays. The news of it still hit me hard. NOTE: I am well aware that I am playing “Apocalypse 2020” on one of the easiest settings possible. There are a few easier settings, but really, I’m lucky. One of the ways
Though I’ve been trying to get to the fiction for a week or so, yesterday was the first day that I actually managed it. The first chapter I wrote was so easy. I had a lot of fun. Then I found myself distracted, unable to really get much more down on the page. WTF? Writing
Despite a second night of not great sleep, I’m still feeling better. Enough so, that I’m declaring that I’m finally well again. I need to rebuild my strength. I’m going to start walking again today. Just a bit, not as much as usual. The key here is to do a little something more each day,

I know it’s been a couple of weeks, but yesterday, I finally felt as though I was adjusting to the new normal. For me, that involves staying on the property a lot of the time, not going anywhere. It’s kind of weird. I hadn’t realized just how often I left the property. But I used
