Now that "Stay Safe" is a standard social repartee, I find myself feeling protected to death and hungry for taking risks. I believe I am craving balance, buttttttaaaa. . . So far hugging a kid has been risk taking enough to satisfy the craving within this bizarre new social norm, buttttaaaaa. . . The craving seems to be escalating to the pre-therapy levels I knew back in the 70's.


Thoughts? ? ? Opines? ? ?

I noticed the same feeling of "daring".

Took advantage of it and went for a drive.

Thank you for your thoughts. I notice so many people insisting on masks and staying indoors, even spreading hatred on people who don’t. It’s understandable, but it’s also important to acknowledge that we have needs that are being suppressed.

Too many of the more aggressive maskers are downright abusive to children. Calling recently traumatized children, "Filthy little germ bags" hits my radar as nothing shy of cruelly abusive, especially when the scare factor is enhanced by hidden faces.

Those repressed needs are gaining volcanic strength in people cursed with under-65 energy levels.

    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.

    Reality Check

    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.
