It's Friday nite. I have been working all week from home. I feel a
bit burnt and I am secondary on call. On top of that, we have this
whole COVID-19 thing going on. I don't really want to go into that,
but all that stuff just seems to make things more challenging.
I wanted to do something aside from thinking about work or the stuff
that is going on, but I don't really feel like doing much of anything
this evening. It has been like that at the end of each work day at
home over the past week. I think I use up all of my mojo being
focussed with work. During work, I set aside my temptations to
focus on other distrations to after work but when I get there, I am
not inspired.
Like this entry, for instance. I have been wanting to post something
for awhile, but I end up with half-started entries or no mental
bandwidth to write anything. Well, I have an entry here that I will
post.
Lately, I have just been spending more time at home with the fam. We
have been eating together more often and spending more time talking
to each other than we usually do. It has been a nice bonding
experience. Of course, the subject of COVID-19 comes up and we
discuss. I feel bad for my wife since she seems to express the most
anxiety about this. I try to be supportive and listen. I think
that's what she probably needs the most right now.
For me, I'm not too much into worrying, especially if there is
nothing I can take action on. And if there is something I can do
about it, I try to do something about it. Right now, my best action
is to keep my family safe and offer my prayers where I can. This
situation is not permanent.
