Day 29: I Don’t Wanna Get Outta Bed

This is Hudson, hiding under a pillow.

I felt the same way today.

The weather shifted last night and I woke up with a migraine.  I sat down to work with a huge mug of coffee, but it wasn’t enough. My migraine meds make me tired and grumpy.  Being grumpy at work is not a good thing.

NJ has started week five of social distancing.  Today the news announced that NY may have had 10,000 deaths.  NJ has 2800.  There seems to be no end to this.  Some articles predict that we are in for 18 months of various degrees of social distancing.  And then there is the looming economic fallout.

There is some good news.  In NJ, a new saliva test will be used, one that is processed more quickly.  People are stepping up and helping those who need it.  Celebrities are donating money and time to lift our spirits. Antibody tests are starting in CA.

But for me, this is becoming more real, real in that this may not be over by Memorial Day, or early summer. We may have restrictions lifted for a while, but only to have them imposed later.  The uncertainty of it all is stressing me out.

I am grateful that we can stay home as a family.

Hopefully a better night sleep will make the world seem a bit brighter tomorrow.

Take care of yourself reader.

Namaste
