Those anxiety waves are hard...I hear you.
I think what people are suffering from most is the unknowing and the unknown.
I find peace in what Berry says.
There is peace in reality. In nature. Our small humble place in things.
In a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig picture beyond our comprehension.
When I think of that, doing what I can and releasing what I can't, I feel better.

Ya... I picked weeds until dark and felt better rolling around in the moss.
The airline said the Bahamas flights are running on time.... running all week. No whisper of a shutdown, so... what was my renter babbling about? WHAT was all that bulding racket in the background and WHY did he tell me that.
::calling renter again::.

Today dd's school gave out 125 chromebooks and connected homes without internet to internet so all kids can partici8pate in online classes.
Water and power companies will reconnect homes who lost services for non payment and not turn off services for non payment going forward. This is such good news.

Renter said island schools canceled for 14 days. The fast ferry and all Spring break gatherings shut down, which was what the renter was breaking down.... all the spring break party stuff on the resort beach. Ummm.... where IN THERE is the island closing down? Nowhere. Honestly, renter sounded quite drunk.
Niece will (likely) have no problem leaving island on the 21st.
They have zero test kids so.... should all act like they have the virus and be very careful.

Well, my voluntary self-isolation has reached a full week. Most of my peers are just starting to take it seriously. So I've had some nice calls but it hasn't set in with everyone. We now have two cases in our smallish city. Both believed to be from travel exposure, so community spread hasn't yet kicked in. Everything's cancelled or closed.
This morning for the first time I noticed that although I'm calm, a bit of depression is creeping in around the edges. That takes me straight to my hibernation/avoidance behavior, which is as unproductive as ever. So I know what I need to be fighting.
I read an article on procrastination which said that people afflicted aren't avoiding the task itself, whatever it is is usually not THAT unpleasant. They are avoiding negative emotions they experience during the task.
I want to chew on that for a while. I know the numbing and escaping (sun's out, I could be walking Pooch) is avoidance. So I need to woman up and figure out what the emotions are that have essentially paralyzed me in pushing toward my dreams. (Writing, serene home.)
M, meanwhile, is busy writing up a storm and literally energized by the unusual experience of working without distraction.
Hmmm.
