This thing is on.

I had a dream Tuesday night set in the Montréal apartment that keeps coming back in my dreams - my dream pied-à-terre in the city I left in 2007. I was packing up to leave, but couldn’t take everything and was worried about leaving stuff for my brother (who sometimes lives in my dream apartment) to sort out what to do with. There were clothes, mattresses, clean stuff, dirty stuff. I think leaving in an orderly way was the main source of anxiety for dream-me.

Life here with social distancing and everyone home was a bit disorienting at first but I’m starting to get the hang of it - I work a bit of a longer day but with longer breaks and have my little office lair in the basement. We’re slowly working out how to move work to all telework all the time, and I’m taking to it pretty well - maybe part novelty, but I’ll run with it. Planning future work is a bit difficult, though. Next week I plan to retireve some more stuff from the office - they’re letting me go in quickly to get a few things I left in my cubicle to make my home office a more productive and ergonomic place. I’ll wash my hands after going in, of course!

I’m not going to try to cover everything - that’s been my downfall in trying to write here lately - but with any luck I’ll manage a few more posts. Adapting to the new normal should provide some fodder at least!
