I’m grabbing a few minutes from my day to empty my head into the keyboard. If I don’t do it now, something will crop up, and it won’t happen.
Work has been busy this week – and while it helps to make the working day fly past, it’s also pretty draining. Thinking on your feet all day writing source code, responding to emails, and having endless technical conversations leaves very little of you by the end of the day.
I can’t remember the last time I talked to any friends – either online, or otherwise.
It’s funny – while I might occasionally think of myself as a boat of sorts – floating along and bumping into other boats along the way, sometimes I notice other people living their life – getting on – making their way in the world – and kind of feel a bit left out. I guess everybody feels it from time to time.
Maybe it’s the time of year. Maybe when the sun comes out, and I wander down to the park in the centre of town for a coffee my thoughts will turn around. For the moment though, life seems tremendously narrow.
Maybe I just need to get out there running again.

I feel the isolation more some days than others. Communing with people outside our home feels like a distant memory at times.

Seriously.. Our lives have drastically changed and the weird part is that we never know when will we ever return to pre-covid times! Are we stuck in this new normal for lifetime?

We long for connections with others–and COVID has mucked up the ease with which we did it before. I don’t know how you manage so much technical input and output–your brain is wired way different than mine. But getting out there and putting sneakers to the ground and running may be a wonderful respite from the caged existence that too often reflects what working from home feels like.

I’ve felt the same so many times!! I remind myself that we’re all in different chapters of the book of life so try not to compare but it’s hard sometimes!
