Hey friends! Shitty days we live in right now. I’ve seen far too many zombie and end of days movies for today’s times to sit right with me. I’ve read far too many books to not see the red flags. Anyone else getting uncomfortable out there ? I sure am. Let’s talk a bit. Use the forum to let me and other readers know how you’re feeling. What are your thoughts and how are you keeping sane right now? Kids at home? How are they dealing with things? I know it’s a bit tough out there, food seems to be scarce, but they say it’s not....? Essentials limited but again being told they’re not. Workers risking their lives to stock shelves, doctors and nurses dying along with the sick. Essential workers not being paid enough. Cabin fever at home, couples working at home, trying to teach kids and hold conference calls. Trying to get through each day without losing your shit, or yelling at someone. Trying not to drink too much or eat too much, whatever the struggle may be, it’s all too much right now. Quite frankly, I’m sick of it. I’m an introvert. Hate crowds, hate the mall, don’t like attention but right now, all I want is my mom to hug and lunch at a crowded Olive Garden. What one thing do you want right now ?
Part of me is thankful for this quarantine because I’m getting ahead on house projects. However I am going a bit stir crazy. Lots of movies, binge watching netflix and frequent thoughts of how a human would taste if the food was all gone. One thing I really want is out to dinner with my family and friends for a night of laughter and good food and physical human contact.
To be honest, since I'm pretty much a loner, I'm enjoying this time. I still keep in touch with my friends (more phone calls than before), and some relationships that drifted apart have been re-enforced during this time. My sister and I have reconnected and that's not a bad thing. I've spent a lot of time reading books I had on my reading list and figured out the audio part of my kindle. ( Don't judge me.)
I've also had a chance to clean up some things I was writing, and research for the same.
Like you, I too have been wondering when the zombies are going to break free from their testing cells and come calling. I at least hope it's a sunny day when they come. Zombies in real life and half color may not be my first choice to see at night.
