Walter frequently uses my foot
as a step to get down from the couch.
It's a balancing act for him
which mimics what I feel these days.
Staying isolated-staying alive/versus not
Figuring out the new blogger/chucking it all-why bother
Taking time to prepare good meals/eat a peanut butter sandwich
Be furious at the government/not internalize retain sanity
Clean the house/ no one sees it but me, screw it
Keep abreast of the news/take another nap and hide
Despise the human idiots/well, there is no alternative
Idiots choose to remain ignorant, while uninformed folk
can be educated; but idiots believe
what they want, regardless of truths.
Wash my hair/choosing not to more often than naught
Try to save plants/they're half fried in 111 degree heat anyway
I am constantly struggling to maintain normalcy,
balancing what I should do, think or feel
against an overwhelming sense of
isolation and sadness.
I'm a tough ole mare, but lord, some days are rough.

I think your list of balances and counterbalances echo the feelings of many of us. The world is upside down and seems to be getting more upside-downer with each day. And I keep hearing about this new blogger stuff... I have resisted the temptation to click on that "Try the New Blogger" button but fear that, like almost everything else these days, we will no longer have a choice soon. Sigh....Big, big, sigh. ~Robin~
You are a tough ole mare, get on with things because WE care and WE like to see your clean house! Besides you really want to look at a made bed too. I wasn't going to make mine today until I read your post...so thank you. You need a 6 foot visit from humans. Time for a tea party....who can you invite on the deck, in the shade for some iced tea of course. Time to phone a friend, pick me! This whole thing is terribly tiring, even here in our country. Sadly you can't fix stupid, even sadder that it's happening at the top. Know that there are people working tirelessly to find a vaccine and others that are offering themselves to try it. As well, many have made the ultimate sacrifice. Do not let this get to you, hide from this physically but not mentally. There is light at the end of this tunnel...it's a long tunnel, you can do it ....you are a tough ole mare.
I wish blogger would leave well enough alone. I did something on the new version and all of my posts reverted back to draft. Ugh. Keep your lists going. Keep going even if itis one step at a time. Janice
Hang in there, we are all struggling in so many ways. Sharing is a bit of relief I think

I feel very much the same way, I ebb and flow, my mood today started out terrible, but there was so much to do in the garden, it passed. I was thinking about you last night and wondering how being alone so much of the time was going for you. I am in isolation, but I live with two more people, so I actually get very little time alone.... some days that's great, some days not so much lol.
Life can be difficult at the best of times .... this virus has really changed everything that was normal hasn’t it ? I just take each day as it comes and try to keep busy. Tomorrow is another day ! XXXX
Old Grey Mare for President! You have such a wise way about you. The difference is you are motivated by empathy for others and our lovely home...planet Earth...while those who are in power and the bad actors are motivated by narcissism and money. I always wondered where they thought their great grandchildren were going to live but then recently I heard the Amazon creator's plans for his future relatives is to move on from a destroyed Earth to other planets. One reassuring thought which I cling to is that our planet will survive us in one form or another and continue to float through space forever. We will be gone before we completely destroy her.
Blessings upon you and Walter. Trish in Cobble Hill, BC. Canada
