So Close, Yet So Far
Apr. 16 – Today would have been the last day of our original lockdown if it hadn’t been extended. We’ve been here for 21 days now and haven’t killed each other and are still getting along which is pretty nice. I’ve also realized we haven’t actually taken a group photo since our first day here.

I’ve been in kind of a mental fog the last two days and was determined get myself out of it. I’m refocusing my energy to try to build out an online course and hope that it will be enough of an activity to keep me motivated and energized through the rest of this lockdown.
I’ve been trying to figure out what it is I want to do when the lockdown is over and I can make my way home. This time provides so much space for self reflection, but I feel like when I try to do that, I draw a blank. It’s like the harder I try to think, the more I’m in a meditative blank state, but when I meditate, I can’t clear my head of all the random thoughts.
These are just such strange times!
