still here though i mainly post and read on dreamwidth, so i'm glad livejournal alerted me that you posted.
so far it's okay--many weekends i don't interact with other people except to call my dad. i sometimes work remotely. it hasn't all set in, yet. main difference is that my social activities are lots of board gaming--we had an online board game session last night and it went well, but that was the thing that felt the weirdest. in two weeks, i might be in a much weirder place.
My post came from Dreamwidth, so follow me there (same username) and I'll do the same for you. Because we saw each other somewhat more recently, I'm especially glad to be back in touch with you here.
Fortunately LJ notified me that you'd posted, because I haven't been looking at LJ for a while - too many Russian trolls. (Though I have been crossposting from DW
( ... )
They supposedly got on a plane from Perth to Brisbane this morning, there to connect to LAX. I say "supposedly" because, of course, we have no way of verifying their actual presence on the plane - though we _do_ know that the plane left on time.
I still check LiveJournal regularly, but my occasional posting happens under the same name at Dreamwidth.
I had been fighting a nasty cold/flu thing for about 2.5 months starting in mid-December. I only started feeling better a couple of weeks ago, and was dreading the return to my social life because I had pushed so much forward. The shelter in place order came as a bummer, but also a relief.
I've been keeping track of projects I might want to do, and poking at some of them now and then. I've organized a bookshelf, the space under the coffee table, and my bedroom closet so far. I'm still meeting with clients via telehealth, which is more tiring than usual.
When your post came in, I was addressing holiday cards, which got lost in the December illness, so feel free to drop me your address if you'd like one!
Still here, still reading. I am not surprised that you have postponed retirement, given the ongoing public health and economic catastrophes.
I'm doing okay, occasionally enraged by the lies and inaction on the part of the federal government and various individuals therein. Debating doing hangouts with my jujitsu students.
Trying to keep to a semi-normal work routine. I gathered all the random fitness equipment that Daniel and I have collected over the years and set up a little backyard gym for myself. Daniel, after two decades of being entirely content to leave food preparation to other people, has decided to learn to cook, and so we've been planning and cooking meals together, which is great fun.
I've been chatting a lot with friends over Slack and Discord. I'm going to try running a role-playing game session this weekend online, and I'm hoping to set up some "virtual coffee breaks" with friends next week, or maybe use Netflix Party to watch a movie with some folks.
