An unremarkable day. Sunny. Mostly. Our high was 71˚F, and it is now 60˚F. I should have gone outside, but I did not. I haven't now since the 4th, when we got our boosters.
I wrote 1,271 words today on "Nature is a Language."
The afternoon's movie was Tarantino's Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood (2019), one of the last films I got to see in the theatre.
It occurred to me this afternoon that I has now lost twenty-two months, since COVID-19 hit us in March 2020. I have spent almost all that time shut away, choosing seclusion over the risk of an infection. That's a lot of life come and gone with precious little to show for it, as my ability to work has been seriously compromised by my depression and anxiety following from the effects of the pandemic on the world and from the political and social upheaval in American and abroad.
At this point, I hardly recognize the U.S.
I'm sleeping too much.
Later,
Aunt Beast
