I am exhausted, my arms still feel like noodles, even hours later (stupid weed whacker vibrations), and I haven't written a bloody thing for fiction in two days now. I hate it. Also, wife is doing a thing, mostly on FB, but I've posted about it on Twitter, too: https://twitter.com/emorenosagt/status/1297386934520762368?s=20

You guys have already been so, so amazing for us, but this pandemic is really beating us down. And I've come to the realization that a large part of my personal mental difficulties is because a sizable chunk of my online life is interacting with international friends: friends in the UK, friends in the EU, friends in Japan, friends in Australia, friends in Canada, friends in Mexico ... basically, other than the one friend in Brazil, people reporting their life experiences with COVID in countries that are, you know, doing shit about COVID in a way the US is just ... not. And you know things are bad when AUSTRALIA is doing better on a federal level than the US and it's just ... contributing to the feelings of ambiguous loss. And I am a very, hmm... I need structure? And this ambiguous, unending hellscape situation is really wearing me down. To the point where Heidi is currently forgoing POPCORN to cuddle me and purr at me and try to tell me everything's going to be okay.
