Well, I managed to find a way to work, go to the pharmacy, take a 2.8 walk around Greenwood Cemetery, and do a Zoom chat with ten people from a fan board.

[Actually accomplished more after work today than during. I found it hard to focus today. Kept getting distracted, also been feeling a bit out of sorts. (Seriously, who isn't? Except those who have managed to ignore what is going on completely and are going about their lives as if nothing happened. I've nicknamed them - the mask-less zombies.)]

Picture below is where I sat during my Zoom Chat. Or rather one of the places I sat. I kept moving about, due to other people meandering around the Cemetery. Also, I was trying to get close enough to the entrance, so I could meander out and home before the Cemetery closed for the night.

Anyhow, ended call and wandered homewards...around the human being obstacle course which wasn't that bad (most people are wearing masks, there were only a few mask-less zombies jumping about).



I keep passing this beautiful house with a lovely garden in front of it.



It's on the block with the rainbow signs painted by children. It's such a warm little block, with wide sidewalks, and pretty gardens. I would love to own a little house on that block. Although I'd never have such a pretty little garden.

The walk and the chat cheered me up, pushed me out of my doldrums. Earlier that day, I was debating about whether I should consult an online counselor. I'd watched/listened to Michael Rosenbloom(Lex from Smallville) interview James Marsters on a podcast. And one of the commercials was about online counseling. I know Wales has been doing it. But I don't really think I need it. Not sure what I'd talk about? Honestly I've always found counseling to be stressful and not all that helpful. Mindfulness mediation, long meditative walks around a park, writing, and art work better for me. It may be that I'm highly analytical to begin with - and what I really need is to turn it off. To just be. And it turns out I was right - I felt much better after my walk. I also discovered that the Super had turned off the water in the building today from 9am-12pm, and I didn't notice. I asked another tenant who was walking into the building if I had the date right - July 16? Was that today? She said, yes, today was in fact the 16. And no she hadn't noticed the water being off either. Makes sense - I was kind of glued to my computer at the time, listening to the podcast, listening to the Mayor of NYC's briefing, and working. Also eating chocolate. The Mayor was aggravating. Marsters...was interesting...he has an interesting theaterical background.

Mother talked to brother today, and felt the need to tell me what he's up to. Apparently she'd shared with him the bit about my father finding her bossy.
