Monday's Mug 015
Hello, writers and friends welcome back to my Monday’s Mug. There are so many things in the last week that have been crazy, disappointing, and just strange. Staying home in some ways is lovely, but I miss seeing people. I am back to drinking tea again. I found this excellent spice shop about an hour from me. I believe it has closed now, but before it was, I was getting a fabulous green tea that was called Moroccan Mint. I am not an avid green tea drinker, but I love mint-flavored tea. I had drunk it almost daily, but my supplies are getting low, and with the virus, I am not sure how to get more right now.
How has your week been?
Are you going to a workplace or working from home?
Have you lost your job entirely because of this mess?
I am sorry for any of the situations above. It is not easy, and each one comes with its problems. I was lucky enough to get to work from home for this last week. It was a wonderful week, and I am genuinely grateful. I struggle with not being able to see people and leave my house. I live in an isolated area anyway, and I can’t even see my neighbors go outside, but I still long for human interaction. I want hugs.
This week I have picked up my pen more steadily to write out what is happening in my head, the fears I am having, and the disappointment. There was a surprise I had set up for my child’s birthday this next month, and the concert was postponed. I hadn’t told her yet, and I am glad I didn’t, but not being able to surprise her with something I know she wanted to do hurts. I had signed her up for sports this Spring as well, but they were postponed as well. I know in light of those who no longer have an income, these are silly things to be upset by, and I understand that.
When I haven’t been writing, I have been watching some Marvel movies to take my mind out of the current events. I turn them on late at night when I can’t turn off my mind. It has been hard for me to relax at home now that I work at home. I got outside as much as I can, and I would encourage you to do the same. It has helped keep me stay calmer as I continue this new journey.
I am going to sign off, for now, don’t forget just to write.
