Dream a little dream
Let me start with this. I do not have Covid yet.
Before Covid I was living my dream. Now, I’m not. Covid stomped all over it. I’m sure I’m not alone. The entire world is in this together. Being united would be the “A” plan But we have tRump the lord of division.
ANYWAY
It’s been difficult for me to dream a new dream. I have spent most of these hundred plus days of ice-0-lation hunkered down. I’ll admit to some fear. Especially when this plague finally starting spiking where I’m parked and people I know became sick and died. That got my attention.
So here I am trying to dream a new dream. I think I’m over the grieving. Now it’s time to regroup and dream a new dream.
Thank you for dropping by. Your visits lift my spirits. Stay safe and well out there in the CCE. The sickness is spreading rapidly here. Much love ❤️

Glad you’re making a new plan.
I keep myself very busy.
I’m so sorry you know people who have gotten sick. Be strong. Be safe. Stay well.

I am trying. I’ve been in this cave too long.

Thank you for sharing all the things with us. I did not realize you knew some that had crossed over. Gah. So far, I only know one person that has gotten it, but I am pretty darn sure your circle of people is Way bigger than mine.
Yes, indeed, dream on, diamond.
I’m learning to love ALL of the things, especially the ones I like the least i.e. internal things. Onward and upward, as someone we know says.

I forgot to tag you.

Loving all the things is important. ❤️
I appreciate your comments.

When the isolation first began, I was quite angry that I was being considered “at risk” purely because of my age! Once I accepted that, I realized I had to reinvent my activities and my world. I have a couple of neighbors who have helped immensely, and am maintaining now. But it’s just maintaining, and I’m ready for it to be over. My gym is reopening tomorrow — but I have chosen to maintain and not go back yet — until the covid numbers settle down, I will continue to lie low — it’s boring, it’s confining, and I hate it, but the alternative doesn’t seem any better!

Sounds like my situation.

I’m reinventing my life in a Covid world.

It’s not easy — but there are groups of people out there who are helping, creating groups, creating activities for those of us who are in this strange situation. And there are always people ready to help if you need it. I’m not one to fall into a state of depression, but this isolation has confirmed for me that I would not do well in true isolation! The world went through a pandemic 100 years ago, and many people we have known survived that, albeit with some difficulty for some of them. I am certain that we can survive this one as well.
Are you free to move to a different location these days? Might that help the spirits? Your tags say a lot about your efforts — I am hopeful that life will improve, perhaps slowly but with reason, after November comes and goes!
Hang in there, JR — be careful, and stay safe,

I am free to move and I’m getting ready. I need to move.
I some some car business and dental work. Then I can fly.
Aug 09, 2020 @ 19:39:07
That will help!!

At the same time, YOU are the person who gave me the skill to live in a cave and not get mad about it…

It’s not being on the cave. I like my cave.
I’ve been practicing drumming and ukulele in my cave. More arting is playing with images and different media.
It’s the not rolling. I find that very frustrating.
Now I’m developing my how to roll in the CCE ideas. I’m going to the gulf again this year.

I need to change my yard.

Wishing you success with the new dream. BTW this thing is asking for my email, so I will comply. Just don’t use it. The in-box at my ISP is so fill, download would take days. Seeya.

It’s difficult being on your own and trying to manage the current Covid era. If not for going in to work once a week, where I can actually talk to another human being, I’d go nuts. As it is, I only go out to the grocery store once a week, or to the woods or fast food drive through. I have no desire to idly shop for trinkets or such. Cases here are starting to go back up since we reopened. I can be a hermit for a bit longer. But yes, I understand how hard it is to stay in one place. I have to say, though, that those pictures of the lake that you’ve shared are mesmerizing. As long as I keep one foot in nature, I can survive. I hope that you can start to dream a bit again. People I know have done a bit of travel, though not too far from home.

I’m glad you have the one day at work each week — it’s not easy to isolate at home without that outlet! I periodically work myself into a stew over the ramifications of a short visit with a friend (outside at a restaurant patio, which is our way of partial reopening), etc. A visit to the beach and the birds helps, but it’s not as satisfying as the old life used to be.

It’s crazy, isn’t it? We celebrated my daughter’s birthday, just me, my sister and brother, and my daughter and her husband. I was afraid to give her a hug. I know where I’ve been, I don’t know where she’s been or where the people she sees have been. I hate that I have to stop and think first if giving someone I love a hug can cause either of us to get sick.

I am hermit like by nature but I do need some contact. Conversation is nice now and then. I visited a friend a few weeks ago to pick up my mail. I asked her if I seemed ok. She was confused. I was serious. I needed some feed back. I guess it’s like the lyrics. “I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.”

LOL! I remember that song! These times are just so strange. How we cope, what we need to get by. The lack of human contact and interaction. Funny what may not have bothered us before sometimes can distress us now.
Aug 11, 2020 @ 11:36:50
Seems so.
Aug 11, 2020 @ 13:28:49
I have said several times that I never could have imagined living the last few years of my life in this strange way!
Aug 11, 2020 @ 13:33:44
Me either
