I try to make it a point to write not just when everything feels so rotten but also even on mundane days. However, this weekend doesn’t feel too mundane at all though. Of course, one of the stranger aspects of life during lockdown is how legitimately difficult it is to feel the weekend when there is no separation from home and work. I don’t really have much problem in that aspect since my weekend pre-pandemic versus my weekend now in lockdown isn’t all that different although I must admit I miss the occasional Friday night out with friends sharing drinks and listening to reggae music in a little bar near Oakridge after a fun trivia night in Handuraw. Or even the quiet ones spent in Starbucks or Caffe Marko, catching up on my reading list—- habits that has since turned into video-calling with them but unfortunately even virtual catch ups are harder to maintain these days.
Post-its work for me too! I feel so accomplished when I tick off an item, even if it's a relatively simple "reply to this email."
Will read 'Almond' soon. Namgi and Kimi approved!
