Self-isolated from 9am-1pm in the bedroom I share with D - trying to get school work done. Emails and Zoom meetings, the novelty already worn off. Everything feels so inefficient and disconnected, back and forth, back and forth, only about 50% of the students responding. Where are the others? Working to support their families? Sleeping in a shelter? Taking care of siblings? Playing videogames?
Meanwhile, I also text family and friends, the daily round of reaching out and checking in. I look at the news, the weather, recipes. I eat mini chocolate peanut butter cups after breakfast, half a milk chocolate with toffee bar before lunch, three chocolate chip cookies a few hours later, 39 plain m&ms after dinner, one and half donuts before bed.
