Blah!

I haven’t been writing much these days, I’ve been mopey and feeling a little down. Between the grey weather we’ve been having and the pandemic I’ve not been feeling very wordy. I know I can’t be the only one who’s feeling it. Canada’s been hit hard by the Omicron variant of the Covid-19 virus and in the Maritimes, it feels like we’ve been hit especially hard. I’m so sick of this stupid virus.

There are days I wonder why I should bother getting out of bed, there’s nothing to do and no place to go but I do anyway. I pace around the house, do some housework here and there, paint and play video games. I just don’t have it in me to do more than that, really. No extra baking or anything, just the bare minimum to keep the house clean-ish.

I’ve been practicing my painting but I’ve been feeling a little discouraged lately. I’m still figuring out how to use mediums and I’ve been following some tutorials on YouTube but nothing is turning out the way I want. I’ve gone through ten canvases in an effort to create one decent painting.

Tired and lethargic is the best way I can describe how I feel. I can’t even watch the news anymore, it’s so unnerving to hear about supply chain issues, and distressing to go to the grocery store and see empty shelves.

To sum it all up in one word, blah! As crappy as this feeling is, it won’t last forever, it can’t.
