'Share a little joy.' Sing or play if you can.

I wasn't going to be super formal about it, so just picked something upbeat and went for it, and I know it's not perfect, but am letting it go. I hope it resonates as joyful to others! :)

1. Are you an essential worker?
No. I've been working from home and am tremendously grateful for that, because I think it's really helping with keeping my mood stable.

2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started?Alcoholic? One. I had a grown up chocolate milk. :P (Milk plus chocolate Bailey's.) I am thinking about making ( Read more... )

I'm fine. I hate being stuck at home. I miss so many people. I was astonishingly, stupidly grateful when work did a zoom virtual happy hour and I got to literally see peoples' faces when I had not otherwise seen them in weeks.

I will try and change that, though I acknowledge part of this issue stems from the fact that I actually have work to do at work, it actually has any level of challenge, and I'm actually happy to ( Read more... )

I'm not getting a lot of time to update in detail, but at least this'll be something.

Major life changes?
Nothing really major?
