lately, quite poor. honestly i don’t know why or how. whether it’s this “pandemic fatigue” that people are talking about or it’s just having been shut in for an endless cycle of endless cycles of two week closures but … i used to be SO much more productive and now it seems like … i need lists and even then i am lucky if everything gets done!

i am usually really on the ball about it all. i am usually EXTREMELY productive. lately … i am lagging.

oh that’s hard to say. sometimes a lot of things, lately … just bitterness lol

i’m halfway kidding on that.

after 15 months of lockdowns in varying degrees i am growing weary of the endlessness of the restrictions on lives and livelihoods. so … i am motivated by my own bitterness. my own piss and vinegar.

and i am slowly giving up on that as well lol

i don’t think so … i mean … i don’t like clutter. i try to make sure that everything has a place and everything is in its place. but i am not always successful. with two kids (they outnumber me) i am often overwhelmed by the amount of their THINGS that are around. and i can try to limit the amount of STUFF that comes into the house but … there’s always more and more.

so maybe i do hold onto clutter but … i am organized about it.

this is another trick question … i don’t drive!

FLORIDA

if i could take my kids, that is.

to where CoVid is not killing freedom.

the familiarity of it.

it’s funny because it’s a HUGE city now, compared to when we moved here in the early 80s.

it’s still got the same hometown feel to me.

maybe because i’ve always lived here. maybe because i don’t ride my bike down into the farm land that used to be, but is now hidden valley neighbourhood. maybe it’s because i don’t drive down to deer run to pick up my friends to BoozeCruise down 22X … because it’s not a highway with farms anymore either.

it grows and changes all around me, this city, and i remain the same.

so i love the familiarity of this place. and that it keeps me feeling close to me.

trick question

i work at home.

and work on my home.

i am still in phase one of wave one … staying home to stay safe 😉

pretty sure it was Dena.

i think she might be the only person i ever call.

… productive …

is that a mind set? does it count?

my mindset is almost always pointed toward … PRODUCTIVITY …

i always want to get … shit … done …

call it hustle, or productive, or achiever … i call it a distraction from the everpresent anxiety in my head.

if i can just keep busy then i don’t fall into anxious traps.

so … i am often getting a lot done.

cat.

definitely.

i am not responsible enough to have a dog.

maybe one day, i will grow up and be responsible enough. but i am not quite there yet.
