No, really. I’m okay.
Aside from the usual ups and downs of diabetes, and my wife’s long-standing idiopathic health issues, we seem to be fairing fairly well in the age of coronavirus.
At least, as well as any of us these days.
But I’m exhausted, physically and emotionally. And for once, words fail me.
So I’m taking the day off, to relax, get a little sleep and try to find a better frame of mind.
And maybe even find where I left my sense of humor.
Because I haven’t seen it since this whole mess started.
As usual, we’ll be back tomorrow to catch up on anything we missed.
Stay well, and hang in there.
I’ll see you back here on Thursday.
Apropos of nothing, today’s photo shows the former foster corgi, happy to be back home with his owner.
Take care. To get through this not only alive and pedaling but with restored funny bones, we all need to take a break from time to time, a time to be vulnerable and maybe sad, to let the mask of bravery fall from our faces, even if we’re still wearing a virus mask. I love your writing.
Thank you, Susan. I want to be open about what I’m going through, because I know I’m far from alone.
Yes take some time off. Maybe even a few days off might help. That would be ok. Please take care of yourself and the ones you love. I think I’m talking to everyone on the third rock from the sun, our pale blue dot in the vastness of space.
Thanks Alan. And I think you’re right. We all need that right now.
