Pammie sorry you are feeling bad today. Not sure if there's any other way.
The fact that you put on bright colors to fight it shows what a fighter you are.
Hugs until you get real ones

Thanks - can’t seem to add photos currently, getting an error message

Day 8 of the lockdown and the wine/gin/cake/chocolate side of the equation is overpowering the daily run

side. By my calculations 2 more weeks and my clothes won’t fit!

Hope everyone is surviving!

@Pammie
Dear Pammie:
I hear you regarding not getting out and being able to get your exercise and being stuck at home with the nearby refrigerator so handy... and with time on your hands... it is so very easy to snack and eat all day.

My "essential" business is open, but business is very very slow... I live just a couple miles from my office so when the weather cooperates I have been walking to and from work every day. Also my next door coffee shop is closed so I am not able to go in there every morning, noon and night as I sometimes do. I have been packing my own lunch, usually a sandwich and/or soup.

As I mentioned in my past comments on your Blog thread, I have been really enjoying your frequent daily pictures... but your picture today and a few other posted previously portrays sadness... which is understandable. Please know that by all measures "we" are doing better than the vast majoity of people elsewhere... you have a place to live, food to eat, and hopefully continued employment.... plus you have your loving family.

Thank you for sharing and posting,
HUGS,
Danielle

Danielle is kind and wise.

I also feel lucky. I have a pension. Remember those? Nowadays, they exist mostly in the fossil layers. I also have a green world that wraps around my home, soon to burst with color. So, I'm one of those damn lucky ones.

Pammie, it's okay to be sad some days. I think Westerners can make the mistake of thinking our lives have to be VISA commercials or Instagram accounts. If a person isn't sad here and there, they're not paying attention as there's a lot of suffering in the world and I don't want to be indifferent to it.

Thanks Danielle and i do read the positive mindset thread - I just keep forgetting

It was weird re photos - I always use the mobile app and it has an icon to add a photo

but it couldn’t load them. I had words with my mobile, booted it, rebooted it then it gave in. After I showed it the view from my balcony on the 8th floor - subtle approach worked

Yes, that’s an excellent point. I think I do need to try to keep perspective though. I also am very lucky and have zero to complain about

Pammie, the last time I lived in a city, I rode the subway home just before midnight. At that time of the night, the subway is filled with people working four jobs to just keep one nostril above the water, as I was. So, each day makes a husk out of you and no VISA commercial can fill you in its thirty seconds. I had to keep my head down because I can read nonverbal cues, so it was brutal to recognize my fellow husks. At such moments, sadness is a kindness, for people do like to be seen and known, as trans-people know perhaps more than any other group.

Yes, that does make sense! I think I need to differentiate between sadness (due to my daughters death, the current situation and all these deaths) and self pity because i’m isolated and claustrophobic) - the latter just being unnecessary self-indulgence
