Istiqlal (Independence), 13 Kalimat (Words) 177 B.E. - Friday, July 24, 2020 I appear to be coming out of whatever depression I've been dealing with. I'm not sure whether it had anything to do with COVID-19 self-isolation, social distancing, or wearing a mask. Over the past few weeks I've gotten out of the house a few times. While wearing a mask, I went to the beauty parlor, to pick up senior commodities, or to Quest Diagnostic for a blood draw. Next week I expect to pick up senior commodities for this month. On August 4 and 6 I have doctors appointments. I will be wearing a mask when I go out. In August "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" will be traveling through the As: "Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Africa, and the Americas with us ending in North America." I'm looking forward to this virtual vacation, because the only type of vacation I get any more is virtual. Another reason is that it let me or perhaps force me to plan part of my blog entries the night before. I would say write my blog entries out in long hand, but when I do that I always rewrite the entry when I post it in my blog. In addition, I will continue to post my "Blogging Circle of Friends " prompts, but the virtual itinerary will help me come up with ideas for the prompts I'm responsible for. |
