DVT DAY 26
Another day, another morning of Zoom meetings and trying to work out how to be useful from the couch or the garden shed. After a couple of hours it seems we might be able to do something but pulling it together is going to be a challenge.
The strain of conducting business over the scree- based platforms is hard on the eyes. It seems odd as in face to face meetings it is the ears that that become tired, not the eyes. By the end of a day of screen meetings and cyber social interaction there is a strange sense of being drained in a new way. I think I need to ration how much screen interaction I do each day. Taking the time out to write letters or thoughts helps as does doing the garden. Each day a small task in the garden helps breakup the day and makes me do something physical. Today I planted potatoes and took some cuttings from my favourite pants. It is still early in the year so the garden will take more time as the weather gets warmer.
I am concerned that I am not training so I have started to research exercise regimes and thinking about a programme for the next ten weeks. I realise that I miss the gym.
I still have not cracked the problems with the laptop that I am upgrading so I still have my silver savvy jigsaw to do.
Tonight I worked out when my twelve weeks of isolation ends, bizarrely it falls on my parents joint birthday, June the 14th. It seems a long way away. For now it needs to be one day at a time and to find the pleasure and beauty of life on the here and now.
