I felt - cynical during Zoom World Language meeting, awkward during Zoom yoga, disappointed during Zoom student dialogues, frustrated by all the ridiculous emails. By 1:30 I wanted to throw the computer against the wall.
And now we are supposed to all wear masks? As the numbers climb, and the newspaper headlines seem more ridiculous and dire, but outside there are the joggers and runners, families on bikes, teenagers skating by, strangely normal, disconnected. When will the trail be closed, the gas rationed to truly keep us home?
Today D and B and I moved the potting table inside, freshly washed and dried, placed it against a bare wall, now the puzzle area. My dear friend R loaned us 3 puzzles (all BC - before corona, not been touched in years) and we three started and finished the 300 piece one in one sitting, so satisfying!
I sometimes dread the evenings after B is in bed -- only because it's movie time and D and W love action movies and slapstick comedies, my nightmare picks! But Hallelujah we jointly discovered the NetFlix series, "Anne with an E" - heartwarming, beautiful, entertaining, sweet, traditional. And there are 3 seasons! I can finally relax!
