That is so funny about lying in bed eating cake, I agree with may that you could do that now but maybe you need it to be a celebration of normality. This pandemic is brutal isn't it. It's a lot like a marriage crisis in that you struggle with the uncertainty, you don't know what the end is going to look like, you're bored and lonely and anxious and self care needs to be top of your list. Ah well, these marriage problems have taught us that we are not in control of anything except ourselves, and that patience and compassion are essential. Both those translate pretty well to global pandemics too! I have been thinking hard about how I want to come out of all this (pandemic and marriage) a better person. I read an interesting article the other day about Groundhog Day in the context of the pandemic and how we all think we will be ice-sculpting, French-poetry-speaking Phil and in reality we are alcohol-swilling, self-destructive, miserable Phil. But like Groundhog Day we get a fresh chance each day to choose the Phil we wish to be (or are capable of being, some days the ice-sculpting is too much). I love this analogy.
