What have you been neglecting the last 4 Covid months?
Family texts or phone calls?
Keeping in touch with your friends?
Personal grooming? It seems pointless to wear a bra if you aren’t going out anywhere. And that messy hair? No one’s going to see me looking scruffy today or tomorrow even. And a shower every other day is probably sufficient, I’m not doing anything but sitting on the couch watching NetFlix or playing Ipad puzzles and games. I do wander in to the kitchen lots, (does that count as exercise?).
Housework? Dusting and vacuuming? You remember you didn’t do those chores before Covid because you were too busy having a life and they could always wait? Now you realize that they didn’t get done because they are boring to do and watching NetFlix, playing with your IPad and opening the fridge door just takes up so much of your spare time now.
Laughing? Has the joy gone out of your soul? It’s pretty hard to be amused when we are surrounded by so much fear, doom and gloom. If and when we take the time to watch network tv or read news articles, you wonder if there is any happiness in the world right now!
Hobbies? Can you still participate and pursue your hobby?
Sports? That’s a slippery slope right now. Team sports are complicated for sure.
ME? I’ve been phoning my family and friends and more than I was a few months ago. I have a cousin who has phoned me a couple of times and we haven’t been in contact for a few years. I will admit that some days I don’t get out of my pj’s until noon and showering days can alternate. I’ve done a good job of not eating my way thru the pandemic. Funny enough the housework and dusting is still a neglected chore. I have been able to pursue my photography hobby. I have been out a few times. I’m learning new skills thru online tutorials and applying those to my photo’s. I find it very creative and satisfying. I really really really miss watching professional sports competition. Hockey in particular. I wish and hope that there is some way to bring the game back safely. Time will tell.
I have been neglecting my blog. Maybe today will be the start of more regular posts? I’m glad I don’t have to write daily for a living. That would be a tough gig.
Gotta run now, my phone is ringing!!

Please please do continue with writing your blogs. I shall also make an extra effort to spend more time reading your blogs. Less time on my couch and waisting so much of my time thinking about what it was I should have been doing if I had the time. Isolation will do that to a person if left alone long enough. I’m making an effort to locate a decent mate on the new Facebook Date. There’s a hobby that requires countless hours of research through dozens of posted personal files full of filtered old photographs and short to long to no bios. Often resulting in countless hours of short communicating nonsense back and fourth. Until one or the other stops. Dead in their tracks without any indication of why? So yeah mybatyety is deaf on my phone
Isolating has been tough. Why am I grounded when I did nothing wrong? 😂
