I would make some phone calls, write, go outside\u2026and, well, yeah, none of that happened. I stayed up late watching TV, watching YouTube, still woke up early, but woke up tired. I remember there was a time when I didn\u2019t understand what people meant when they said they woke up tired. Like how does that happen? How does that feel? Now I know all too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole quarantine thing has really got me in a funk. My energy is lagging, my motivation is lacking, and I need some sun. To top it all off, I\u2019m gaining weight. I\u2019d picked up a good 15 pounds during the holiday season, and now with this quarantine going on, I\u2019ve put on about five more.&nbsp; And yet, something in me right now is contemplating going to McDonalds for some chicken McNuggets and fries. &nbsp;But I won\u2019t go, I\u2019ll just make a bowl of cereal \u2013 yeah, a bowl of multi-grain Cheerios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was actually working on a piece to post today called \u201cSomething Better,\u201d but I was getting writer\u2019s block and so I squashed \u2013 no, more like put it on hold for now. So I guess I did write today (other than this post), but not that much. Eventually I\u2019ll post it. I should have worked on it more over the weekend. I really need to make a schedule and stick to it, but that\u2019s something that has proven to be really challenging for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomorrow, I\u2019m definitely going to go outside. I just need some fresh air and some sun. I\u2019ve been thinking about getting an exercise bike, or maybe even a real bike. I\u2019ve wanted a bike for a long time now, but I don\u2019t want to put it together. I would love to ride my bike down to the grocery store. I also need to buy myself some leisure wear. Like I need some clothes that will keep me comfy at home, yet presentable enough to go out at a moments notice. When I\u2019ve had enough of being inside and say to myself, \u201clet me just go take a ride, or sit in the park,\u201d I\u2019d already be wearing something that allows me to be seen in public, rather than rummaging through my limited wardrobe for something other than my \u2018round-the-house rags to put on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I\u2019ll do some online shopping, for some shit on sale of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m trying to end this post on a positive note. I feel like I went on a rant.&nbsp; Maybe the positive note is that I got this post out, or is that like a super low bar? But then again, it\u2019s better than nothing. Maybe the best way to end it will be just to say until morrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since Monday&#8217;s almost over, here I am.
