After the storm

[wiseheart]

After some heavy rain and a bit of balcony leakage last night we hoped that it would be a tad cooler today. Well, it was - until about 9am; then summer returned with a vengeance. It's a good thing that I didn't have to leave the house today. All I had to do was a bit of cooking, so I had some time to order my notes for the introduction into the "Pathways" universe.

I'm planning to write an... essay? Meta? What the heck is something like this called? Let's say, I'm planning to write this... thing, with a timeline for "Pathways", a character list, a list of planned (and partially written) story arcs and the likes. Fortunately, a lot of it I've done at least a decade ago, so much of the stuff simply needs to be typed up.

The physiotherapist came today; this is the last time for the next two weeks as she's going to a holiday with her family. We'll continue doing the exercises nonetheless, even the going downstairs part. I still don't dare to do the going upstairs part with Mum on my own yet, but we can go down one level and then take the lift to come back again. *g*

I talked briefly to my friend Evie on the phone. Perhaps we'll manage a trip to the discount craft shop before the Covid rules get tightened again. Because they will, eventually, I have no doubt about that. As soon as people come back from your holidays with shiny new mutant viruses. *sigh* I want my life back!

I want my life back! That!

We should get a T-shirt with that.

I want my live back, too! Yet I am pretty sure the contrary will be the case.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I know. And that makes me so incredibly angry.

Ugh yeah are your numbers starting to go up, too? Here we can watch them slowly climb with every day and people aren't even back from their vacations with all these nice new mutations. It's so frustrating. It's gonna be the same as last summer.

But congrats on getting some work done! How is your Mom doing?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

She's getting better, slowly but steadily. Small steps it is; but as long as the bone holds, we're fine.

Glad you're able to do at least some of mom's exercises.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

She's not the quitting type, fortunately.

I know I shouldn't, but I had to smile at our comment about 'shiny new mutant viruses'. The government is allowing us to abandon masks here in a couple of days. Fortunately, many of us have said we will continue to use them and a few big stores have said they will still require them. The government is anticipating another virus wave, however.

I know. It's the same shit here.

Here it is as hot as I cope with reasonably well — 25C. Officially it is only about 22, but parked in the shade my car reckoned 25 and I am sure it is right. I don't envy you any higher temperatures.

We are at the 'you can almost have your life back...' stage — I must post the current situation for my own records and because we are an interesting test bed!

I wish you guys the best and hope you'll manage to stay one step before the dratted thing, always.

They dropped the mask mandate here, but I still wear mine. Good luck on your new writing project and the weather, hope it improves.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Oh, I keep wearing my mask, too. I don't trust that the virus has got the memo that it's been beaten.

Make the craft store run!! Lockdown is depressing without supplies (not toilet paper hoarding.)
