Last day of "school" today. Then summer. Whatever that means now. I have not been part of any of the awesome community clean-ups or the peaceful protests. I am there in spirit. But I feel completely lame for giving my reasons. Excuses. Flimsy.
Crowds (even peaceful ones) scare the crap out of me. I am socially distancing for covid. Like... a lot. I am super conservative. The idea of interacting with strangers causes me to feel physically ill. In fact, I have been feeling quite physically ill. Spouse keeps making me take my temperature and I'm coughing all night. Which sounds bad. But I don't have a temp and the cough really is just asthma/allergies. But I am so tired. And nauseous. And I only want to sleep. I missed one day of walking because I couldn't make myself get out of bed. I told myself I felt too sick. I'm not sure if that was true. I mean, I'm pretty sure the sick feeling is all psychosomatic. Selfishly personal positive things:
