The lockdown anniversary is coming up in a few weeks.
The damage that has been done so far makes me despondent.
It seems like we are in the finger-pointing-vaccine envy-zoom fatigue-circle decisions phase, which leads to failure feelings.
Currently I am failing at being a parent, spouse and friend.
Anyone else?
Sometimes I just catch myself getting lost looking out at one of my many bird feeders. I almost feel normal and then...it passes. I cherish those few moments.
I am not sure if listening to Joy Divison, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake are the best choices either.
My hope that this is the beginning of the end of the pandemic. I want to hug friends and wear lipstick again.
On a hopeful note we are gearing up for a soft opening of the library I work at for summer semester. I will be writing about it on my library blog- https://runkpocklibrarian.blogspot.com/
I haven't contributed to it much because y'know, pandemic.
Meanwhile here is a puppet video I made with my kid. Ego Sensation did the music. I post them on Instagram too. @ericaannawesome
Stay safe everyone.
