Day three of COVID and the virus is back and fighting. I’ll try and do less today and mostly just read and watch shows on TV. I want to go back to work tomorrow, which is alright and safe as I work from home, though I’ll need my voice for meetings and my wits to do my job well—an investment now in a good day of nothing is just what Nurse Yumiko ordered. But the weather is so nice today, and it’s hard to sit here inside, when there’s warmth and sunshine and a nice ocean breeze and sea sounds coming through my open window. Maybe I should try to remember this experience, and plan for old age in a place where the weather is poor, and the indoors are nice by compare, and where I won’t feel trapped being so old and unable to go outside. Then, I won’t mind sitting in my room wearing warm socks, with a folded blanket across my lap, and a cup of hot tea, and looking outside at the cold rain and the wind and snow? But who am I trying to fool—give me the cold rain and the wind and snow any day. That’s the hardest part of being sick so far—the remaining indoors.
