Hello Here, I will be at the computer for a while. I guess you could put @ and then the name if you want to respond to someones post or comment in person.

Vastly different circumstances, but Corona crowned atop a fragile stage in my personal recovery from tragedy leading to a major life change. I still feel like allot of very hard work was destroyed in one callous, masked and socially distant swoop. Sorry for the inconvenience folks. Don't ask us to give a damn about such trivia.

You are not alone, Here. . . Protecting the 10% who are at risk from the virus feels ever more likely to kill the 100%.

Well mask it all. . .

You are not alone, I too have been set back by Covid and the civil unrest. In fact, it's the civil unrest that really put me over the edge.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
