The Thursday Blahs: the perception of quarantine

Yes, it's Thursday. 

Just a reminder.

For those of you in sweatpants for the zillionth consecutive day. :)

Thursdays have never been my favorite.  Wednesday gives you the hope of the hump, but then you have the doldrums of grinding through another work day.  With TGIF right behind.

And it decided in NCPA to be cloudy, rainy and colder today. ):

I have realized that the struggle isn't that I can't go out -- it's that I want to!!! 

You see, I have also realized that, other than work, I really don't leave the house that much.  As troubling as that realization may be.

But now that I can't -- I want to.

I suspect this is the paradox of prison.  You don't really have a place you want to go, you just want to go.

Anyone else know what I mean?

Like, was going to the grocery store even necessary, or did I "run an errand" just to feel like I could go when and if I wanted to?

[I will save my notes about the movement of time for another day -- I think we all are aware of how long March was...and how long April is going to be...and now our governor has closed schools for the rest of the year, so maybe there'll be a STAH order till June...]

Thursday.  Thor's Day.  It really does hit you like his hammer.
