Update on lockdown life

A quick, short post before I change my mind again;) At the end of last year, I had some not so fun encounters in fandom and it's been messing with my head. I decided not to post about it, which is very hard to do, but I think it's better for my state of mind. Hope to be up for organizing another round in the quicky_bang soonish.

The (third) COVID lockdown over here has been extended for another month and includes a curfew. I'm glad I can continue to work from home and visit my mom once a week, but that's the only person I see - from the approved 1.5m distance of course. I MISS HUGGS. Our weekly dinners are now sleepovers, as I am not allowed to cycle home after 21:00 and we bingewatch The Good Wife until midnight:)

Am struggling with food; making dinners for myself is rough and I've been unable to get back on a somewhat normal snack schedule. I have managed to create a set of exercises to at least get some movement at home, but it's all very minimal as my mindset is not ideal. I do get some satisfaction from my still very awesome job and I've been reading, so not everything is bad. I've have updated my readinglist [DW] with new books, and there are more on their way, yay! Hope they will continue to help take my mind off the pandemic blues...

Will be arting this weekend for spn_meanttobe! Posting starts tomorrow and continues all month; we'll see when I'm happy with the result and ready to post;)

P.S. Am slowly finding joy in fanfic again: read a wonderful story yesterday, highly recommended: The Beat of Our Noisy Hearts by cleflink - In a world where heartbreak is a literal condition, it's Jared's job to sew, fill and patch the physical wounds left in people's hearts by lost loves, misunderstandings and betrayals. Also has beautiful artwork by petite-madam!
