Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The conversation he had this morning was with the recruiter. Don't know yet when this third interview might happen. It does sound like they would have him work remotely for the moment.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

My cousin is a nurse for a private urology practice who is still working. Said cousin is still visiting my Aunt who is in her 70s, and that Aunt is still visiting my grandfather who is 92. I am so angry there might be actual steam coming out of my ears.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That sound wise, askye. Take care of yourself as best you can in the meantime.

And my aunt was yelling at my mother to still have a big Easter dinner because she was told you can still see "your tribe".

I emailed my therapist the other day to thank him for all his help and let him know how well I'm doing. In one reply he said that this is causing massive trauma on a social scale as well as with in families and he recommended this book The Obstacle is the WAy

It's 1.99 for the ebook right now. I don't know if it will help anyone or even me but it might help some.

And it's not an ebook but I've found The Dialectical Behavior Skills Workbook to be really helpful. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ARGH

Argh indeed. Have a Zoom Easter!

JZ, I'm glad to hear your dad is holding on.

I went for a run in the woods this morning: it was raining and early and I only saw a few people for the first half hour, but a bunch more after that. We were all cautious, but I have decided I'm not running any narrow trails anymore, just ones with enough room for that 6 feet.

It was a very slow run and when I got home I couldn't do all my regular bodywork exercises. Possibly because I spent all day yesterday on the futon, reading. Gotta keep moving as much as I can, I think.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Just made my last COBRA payment. I'm glad not to have to deal with that expense anymore. Giddily made a large credit card payment and immediately regretted it but what the heck, it has to get paid sometime. Also found $31 tucked away in an old wallet, thanks last-year-me.

Had a long conversation with my sister this morning about wills and trusts. Ultimately reassuring to have our affairs squared away, but still rough.

I'm trying to calm down and focus on my freelance assignment, I'm behind schedule, I've got a meeting Tuesday with the manager and I want to be able to tell him I'm back on track, and it's just not happening.

How come I don't have post-it notes? How can I be expected to edit without little post-it notes? What am I, a barbarian?
