How quickly we get used to wearing masks, sanitizing our hands before and after shopping and social distancing. Or do we?
My anxiety makes me nervous if there are people to close to me, not wearing a mask or if there are too many people. The mask makes it hard to breathe, but the fear of COVID-19 overrides my wish to not wear a mask. So much information with the internet churning out new information every few minutes. And trying to find the true news is frustrating.
Also have to make time to get outside, especially with the teenagers so they can get some fresh air and exercise. After a few months of serious family time, we all need to get outside and find some alone time. And the various four legged members of the family are driving me crazy.
The weather is not cooperating either. So much rain and cold weather is keeping me inside the house when I want to be outside. My garden will soon look like a jungle even though I have planting boxes and landscape fabric. The yard needs to be mowed and I would love to have the teenagers help out more. They do what I ask them to do, but it would be nice for them to figure it out for themselves. Maybe one day?
Renovating and crafts keep me from going crazy, but I now seem to have no motivation to do anything. Maybe just a slump?
Maybe I need a vacation, but I don’t know what from.
It’s only been four months since this craziness started and the world is still silently waiting.
