55. Yes the isolation and hibernation is daunting

Tue Apr 28, 2020, 05:09 PM

Apr 2020

what seemed good 3 weeks ago is now distorting judgment. home has no feeling of human warmth. going out more, even with a mask, is essential. i make more time to sleep, to read. I have to get off the tube more. i desire to bake brownies. but forgot to buy extra flour, not that there's much available.
