Here's a list of a few things that made me feel better yesterday.
(1) Everyone was wearing a mask at the grocery store except the Pepsi delivery guy. I felt safer than I have in a long time. I did all the usual precautions, but I didn't have a lasting feeling of doom. Going to the store just as the senior hour ends is the way to go for me.
(2) Popcast podcast made me laugh. The pandemic episode of strange things people are doing. I listened to it last night and it was just what I needed. Their tag line is, "we take a deep dive in the shallow end of the pool." It's all things pop culture from faith based writers (not a lot of faith talk, but they are kind people).
(3) Remote ordered some Pampered Chef goodies from a friend in VA. A couple of things for me and a couple of things for my DIL. I like Pampered Chef and haven't seen their stuff for years.
(4) An Instagram influencer did a story on how she's having a hard time. Doing what she needs to do, but is feeling low. She was speaking to how I felt and it was comforting. I'm seeing a lot of celebrating ("it's over"), a lot of anger (us vs them), a lot of doing great ("heading to our vacation home for the summer"). I'm mostly feeling low. Not horrible days, not great days either. Lingering in low level blahs. I get angry and frustrated which levels off to feeling sad. It's nice to know I'm not alone.
(5) Chatted with my aunt yesterday. Family zoom calls are probably over (not a bad thing). The call felt like old times and we had a good laugh.
I'm going to look for feel-good things today again. I need to do something to pull out of where I'm lingering. Low level vibrations. It's not where I want to hang out for this long.
Post with the new goodies coming soon. Probably Monday. Stay well. Later gators.
