Still missing time
Mar. 21st, 2020 06:38 pmYup...still finding it hard to keep a regular blog schedule. Things look to be getting pretty serious. It's not, like, martial law or anything, but we're still being "encouraged" to stay on lockdown, plus most businesses are shut down and people aren't supposed to be running outside or anything. We're pretty well-supplied at this point, I think, and it's not like the world is shutting down or anything, but it seems best to not be going out for a while. T (who is officially home from work for the foreseeable future) and I are hunkered down, and Lt and Gb are sheltered upstairs. I think that's just...gonna be life for a while now. Weeks? Months? Gonna be interesting to see.
I'm mainly just...pod editing and job hunting. This really throws a monkeywrench into the works as far as me finding work, I think, because (a) a bunch of businesses are just plain turned off for the time being, and (b) I'm sure the market is just flooded with people looking for remote work now. So, yeah, I dunno. I feel alternately filled with despair and stress, but I'm trying to maintain. Probably no therapy for a while, unless I want to do it over the phone, which...I'll be real, I might have to make that happen at some point. :)
Without the regularity of T's work schedule, I find I am quickly losing track of the days, which of course wreaks havoc with my routines and schedules. But everything is going to have to change and I'm going to have to do make a lot of adjustments very quickly (which I'm so great at), so honestly I'm not worried about a little schedule disruption in the next few days. I have to worry more about the next few weeks or months. So it goes.
In any case, today is Saturday. I'm probably going to be talking more explicitly about the day in the near future so I know time is passing and such. :) But anyway...today is Saturday. Got some decent pod editing in (rough cut ECB), but mostly I'm looking to chill today, for the most part. Thursday and Friday were basically split between working on the first ep of NOF on one hand, and doomsday prep on the other. Strange times these are. But for the moment, T is prepping food, I'm sitting on the computer, and we're just heading into a kind of...normal Saturday evening of sitting around. So, from this vantage point, at this point in time, things don't seem so bad. I'm hoping things don't get to the point where I'll have to look back on this memory and cling to it, but...I guess it's nice to have it there nonetheless.
EDIT: I guess I should note that this is the first day in a long time that I went clean on my dailies. Two footnotes on that, though; one, it's Saturday, so it's not like there was a lot waiting there for me to begin with, and two, I'm still doing the inbox cheat. That's something I should do with this extra time (especially if I get ahead on pods a bit); I should do inbox catchup!
