Sorry! Have been grappling with having no income for the foreseeable future, wondering if I'll see my family this year (they live in another hemisphere), having a glitch with Medium where I get logged out every 2 minutes, getting no reads on Medium or substack, whether my family might get sick, wishing my mother wasn't such a Boomer...the usual pandemic brain fart I guess...
Lisa, sorry you have been going thru all of this. You'd think with all this time on people's hands they'd be clapping more, and the time they spend sitting on their butts, they'd be reading Medium more!
Weird that we now live in a world where we can say "the usual pandemic stuff." I hear you about Medium reads and family you can't reach. I feel so disconnected.
It's a struggle. One minute I'm like "yeah, I'm going to write about this shit and get my life sorted" and the next minute it's "fuck this shit, I need a drink!"
What happens when the electric grid fails? We'll "Grrrrr" for the loss of "id." (If I ever lose you, please know how I love the way your voice as a writer punches a little dent in my screen!)
I am so sorry. I ran out of funny this week. Andrew is right. . .wooo, the guilt. Now, I'm gonna have to become a travel writer just to feel better. I guess that means I gotta travel, too. Darn it.
Then when this is all over, to JC Penney to buy some fat pants until I can lose the weight gained from eating all those stockpiled girl Scout cookies instead of my canned vegetables.

Lmao!!!! Well I'm glad to see you haven't lost your humor !

Lmao!! That's the best writing compliment ever 😂😂
And thanks for the shout out for the newsletter. I will definitely let you know.

The only place to travel right now is to the fridge and back to the couch 😐

HA!! I would love some girl guide cookies right now! And all my pants are fat pants. That's the beauty of pajamas and yoga pants.
I was already feeling guilty BEFORE I read this... 😑
Hahaha what did you feel guilty about??
I haven't been reading anyone. No one. Preoccupied, lots of time, but using it in ways that are...productive.
I have barely looked at my Medium.
Writing some but it is not focused like I want it to be.
We have spent the last week making preps for this once-in-a-lifetime pandemic experience and wonder:
What's next?
Totally understand Andrew! I think we're all wondering what exactly comes next in these uncertain times. I hope you and your family are safe and well!
...unproductive!
