I'm glad you're well. I think, without the distractions of "normal" life, we are all a little melancholy.

I too am grateful to be employed. It has really been a godsend. To be honest, work has been a godsend through this entire separation, but never more so than now.

I am glad you are still cooking. I love hearing about the dishes you make. You are always so descriptive. I have subscribed to one of those companies that deliver healthy recipes and all the ingredients (pre-measured). All the food is organic and (I think) locally sourced. I tried it once before but found I ended up binning a lot of it (last minute drinks/dinners, couldn't be bothered cooking after a long commute). I thought I'd try again as the long commute is gone, and the last minute drinks/dinners are (for now) a thing of the past.

The outdoors is great isn't it. There isn't a lot of it around where I live (there are parks and good places to walk/run but not really hike). When I was in Croatia last year I did a long hike through one of their national parks. It was amazing. Lots of frequent stops to check out the scenery but it is one of the highlights of a highlight holiday.

The sadness is natural and it will pass. These are unusual times. Are you still on the dating app? It might be the distraction you need. I think other apps (though am not sure) have same sex 'friend only' options.

I'l glad you're well. I worry about you.
