How's social distancing going? · 1:37pm Apr 10th, 2020
I'm continuing to plow forward as best I can, trying to find ways to amuse myself while I watch this thing develop. This is definitely revealing all the flaws in how I live day to day. My long term underemployment thing continues, which I am thankful for (God knows I don't need to be sitting around any more than I do), but this thing has seriously cut back on the little things I used to do to amuse myself. I now find myself sitting in front of the computer way too much, or watching the news way too much. All of this brings up the idea that I should get more done on my writing. But figuring out the way forward on that front isn't quite that easy. I need a bit of inspiration to move forward, and I'm not sure where to get it. I'm sure it's probably right in front of me, in books, movies, documentary's, and other sources. There's one though that I miss, plain old conversation, and I'm supposed to be the 'ultimate introvert'. But I guess we're all in a 'suck it up and drive on' situation these days.
How are the rest of you holding up? I hope that you haven't had to deal directly with this illness. At best, it sounds like a total pain in the ass. I guess that all we can do is deal with it. Good luck out there everybody, and wash you damn hands!
