A few things are helping me. One, my work (I'm a teacher) has mandatory online training that needs to get done, so I have that to work on. I also have a novel to write.

Are you allowed outside at all where you are? If I couldn't get out for a daily walk, I'd be in much worse shape.

Yeah, but it's not very accessible for a visually impaired person. There's not a sidewalk, and the complex is one big loup, so it's easy to get lost without eyes.

I'm thinking of at least trecking to the mailbox and back just to do *something*.

That's terrible. I'm sorry that it's not accessible to you. I don't know the weather where you live, but it might help to just step outside for a few minutes and feel the fresh air on your face. And, yes, trek to the mailbox to do something. Just think of mundane things that you can do to keep yourself occupied. Do you listen to any podcasts?

[we_are_spc]

Yeah, and I need new ones. I need to binge nightveil like woe, and there's a filkcast......Alice Isn't Dead...*sighs* I feel like I'm so behind on some of them that I'll never get cauvght up. LOL

I'm also trying to study magic. So that's on there, too.

(I wish I knew how to gat Amazon devices to play podcasts...

I tend to listen to more inspirational stuff, but if you're interested, I really like Happier with Gretchen Rubin and a new one called Unlocking Us with Brene Brown. I need to get into some story-telling podcasts.

If you're into scifi, Escapepod is pretty damn good. If you want a general book one, Book Bistro is run by a group of friends of mine, and it's pretty good, too.

I'm not sure where else to send you, though.

I'll look at the two you recommended me, thanks.

... Gods, I need to work on that shit. (More the background things. Which worlds am I writing in; when are birthdays, shit like that.) I have a writing blog, and I'm so disorganized in my behind the scenes character stuf it's unreal.

...

OK, written up a schedule. Sent it to a friend. We'll see how it goes. Doing it a day at a ti me. I figure it's a good way to start. Start small. If this week goes well, then I'll do three days at once, so on.

[serafina20]

One day is at a time is all you need. Good luck!
