Thank goodness its warming up a bit finally. So a chance to take a bit of stroll is now possible in relative comfort again. Today there was a decent amount of winter sunshine and buds are starting on the trees too. So a pleasant reminder of life renewing again for in preparation for spring. I am now on week 5 of my extended exercise routine and I am less anxious so that is one tangible benefit at least. its a hard slog at times though as I ma very stiff when i wake up most mornings and it takes a while to get going. It’s different every day of course though. Perhaps I am slightly less depressed now, but feeling well enough to just to be getting a tiny bit bored. I need to start my clearing out process now too. Perhaps those many cardboard boxes can be flattened out now?
What do people talk about at the moment? “Hello, just ringing to say I didn’t go out again today”. It’s weird. Its also tiring too. We are all trying of course to add a bit of meaning to the days. I am setting myself a few challenges musically and in a couple of other areas too. Hopefully I can hang on to some degree of sanity that way. The virtual world is a thin substitute for normal interactions. We are all in our bubbles for so much of the time now. Too much time to think? Maybe.
Currently I can indulge myself with reruns of my favorite sci-fi series at least. Its a welcome relief from present reality like pizza and beer when appropriate. Or wine of course, Its all cool. Sort off.
So if we all get through this I have got to try and lean to win friends and influence people. Only joking, sort of. Hello rest of the world I am still here I think. Most days start well enough but the limited amount of umph soon runs out I am saddened to say. The call of the duvet is strong at present. Winter evenings should have the option of going for a swift half at least. So another grand night in again.
