Hey you ^^

I'm glad to hear that you've had some time to just take things easy and assess.

As for me, well, I've just been trying to keep myself sane. The lockdowns are not doing my depression any favors ^^; While I like to get out when I can, the weather has been pretty awful lately.

It's been snowing on and off where I am -- not enough to stick, but enough to take a look outside and go "ew are you serious?"
The other evening, I took a look outside and it was snowing, and it was also Golden Hour sunset so the entire overcast world looked like it was under a Sepia filter. It was surreal!

That sounds like a beautiful sight =3

Hello ^-^
Yeah, this quarantine stuff really throws your sleep around. I've been set free until the end of the month and am certainly not sleeping when I should...
At least have found time to watch all the three Disney Cars movies I always wanted to see once, lol.
Hope you manage to calm down too! Stay safe~

I've had a few nights where falling asleep has just been so incredibly hard -- I guess the anxiety about Corona is making my foolish lizard brain super hyperactive when it should be winding down. LUCKILY I have a prescription for that, it just makes me pretty sluggish the next day so I don't like using it. QuQ

I always liked the Cars movies, I thought they were fun and well animated (i mean duh, it's Pixar)!
Ty and I will! I hope you enjoy the rest of your time completely off, and that you possibly get to work from home afterwards! It sounds like you're taking good care of yourself~

I've been having a pretty chill time on the quiet. Except for work, where everybody is hyper tense, and so am I on that front but I try not to think about it all the time. I didnt have a hugely social life before, so I'm not missing much. In the meantime, I've persued my hobbies at pretty much the same rate as I did before. Drawing, writing, and minecraft all continue uninterupted. I'm trying to get a minecraft villager to offer an enchanted book for "Thorns" so that I can deal with Vex's, which recently killed me. I've started trying to use computor to voicechat friends, with some success, which is cool.
On the telly saw a bit of Holmes and Watson, which is fcking hilarious and I recommend it. Also saw a series called Avenue 5, which started well and petered out but was still ok. (Further back, pre lockdown, saw something brilliant called Miracle Workers which I mega recommend, most titillatingly humourous!) On Netflix, I'm looking at some OTT nonsense about a murder prison gameshow, all splendid stuff. On youtube, Hermitcraft, also lore videos about all sorts. My usual.
Hope you are well :)

Fantastic! Good to hear you've been able to chill and separate out work and down time.
I feel you there -- not much has changed about my daily schedule, if anything I'm getting MORE social interaction because of my partner and housemates all working from home!

Good call, I'll have to check that out. I will ALWAYS watch a show themed around Sherlock Holmes -- good or bad, I feel compelled to watch all the Sherlock stuff I can! I'm a sucker for crime and mystery shows, and I've about bled Netflix dry of those for now lol
I've really enjoyed the Sherlock action/investigation computer games by Frogwares Studio as a semi-related note!

I've mostly been avoiding going stir crazy by driving...well, probably more than I have in about a decade. I've got a classic car that's fun to drive, and Costco's wiping down the pumps between customers...and besides, the highways here are absurdly empty even at what should normally be rush hour.

Driving is a great idea -- we've been keeping our windows open to get fresh air in the house and sitting out on the porch a lot, going for walks. I don't have a license, so that's out for me, but I've gone out with my partner a few times, just to chill in the car and get some change of scenery.
It's so weird to see the streets so empty, yeah...the grocery stores are not empty tho. Almost every store that's open has tape and markers on the floor to illustrate proper distancing folks should be from each other. Plastic shielding separating customer and cashier.
Weird, but also good to see everyone taking precautions. It's infuriating when you see folks that aren't following the rules.

I'm chillin for the most part. I'm lucky enough to be able to work full-time from home during this mess, so at least the paycheck's not affected. Since I can't go out to socialize like I usually do, I have Steam games to occupy me, 95% of which time has been Elder Scrolls Online. Thank goodness for messengers too. On the weekends I do go to see my boyfriend; he lives about a half hour away. Once in a while the bf and I will do a Zoom chat with other friends. Otherwise I just hang out at home during the week, which hasn't been good for my waistline. Been catching myself grazing on the regular.

I'm glad you're taking time for your own health. It's especially important when your area to wander and breathe free is limited by icky things outside your walls.

Excellent! I'm so glad to hear you're able to work from home. At least you don't have to worry about that. My partner and housemates all work in education and have been able to work from home on video calls too. Technology is amazing and I'm so grateful we live in a place that has fantastic internet service.

Yoooo! ESO is the BEST. I'm giving FFXIV a try right now on their free trial (my housemates play a lot and I wanted people to game with), but ESO will forever be my favorite MMO. I can't wAIT for Greymoor in June omg. Just a month and change!

For a few days I kinda worked through and ignored sleep and didn't eat regularly and now for the past week I've been playing catch up from that and delaying my comms so....lesson well learned (again). The meat suit needs sustenance and rest. x3

Well if you ever want a partner to group up with and go adventuring hit me up. I am not too experience with vet dungeons, but I enjoy the different questlines and side quests. I tend to wander and do my own thing lol.

Luckily I'm used to work from home. Still miss hanging around with my friends at the pub.

I'm also still struggling to write new stories. :(

I feel ya -- the global anxiety is real and it strangles creativity (and not in a fun way). I've found I have to severely limit my intake of news on the daily otherwise I get super depressed and overwhelmed.
All you can do is keep trying, and be gentle with yourself if you can't make a goal. Even a few words is better than none -- even a sketch is better than a blank canvas. I believe in you!

Hello there. I’m not doing too badly. Every so often, I do a bit of light reading. I’m currently on Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey. Finished the first four books ages ago.

Good to hear!
I looked that series up, it looks real interesting! I wish I had the attention span for books lately -- it makes me sad that I seem to have lost the knack for enjoying books.
I guess I never thought that would be a skill I had to work to keep. Q__Q

They made a television series out of it, starting on SyFy and moving to Amazon.
