Eva’s Byte #257: My New Norm
How are you spending your free time these days?
Let me be forthright in stating I do not consider the domino effect of the COVID-19 pandemic a laughing matter. Not at all! In my capacity as a writer, my perverse humor is geared toward myself—only.
Prior to practicing social-distancing and self-isolation, it was all I could do to eek time to write. Now that I have all the time in the world, I’m not any more productive. I did manage to finish chapters 43 and 44 in my Contemporary work in progress. I’m currently drafting chapter 45, progressing from a flashback taking place in the Sixties.
Besides doing housework, and making sporadic runs to the supermarket for perishables—what exactly am I doing with all this free time on my hands?
Akin to playing-the-ponies, I’m burning my dough chasing what I consider my necessities, on-line. One of them, Dunkin Donuts iced coffee. A one-per-day habit which I derive enjoyment from while working in the aforementioned capacity as a writer. Lo and behold, this commodity is a lot cheaper in bulk. A silver lining!
I also put myself on a long-distant waiting list for home deliveries from a local dairy. Wish I had the foresight to do so before the pandemic.
Not the only one embracing new norms these days, I’m more grateful than ever for food, shelter, and good health as I surmise you are.
If you’ve read this far, may you stay safe and well.
