Happy Easter everyone. I hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. I’m not feeling well as I write this but don’t worry, I don’t believe I have Covid 19. At least I hope not. But I will keep you posted on my condition. I have been going through a lot of stress lately and have become fatigued and there are digestive issues that are making me feel pretty crappy. But I promise you that I am doing everything I can to make myself rest and I am taking the necessary medicines.

I am not under a doctor’s care. But I know what’s best for my health. If my symptoms continue or progress, I will attempt to see my doctor.  As far as my current work in progress goes, I have decided to take a much-needed break from it. My writing performance is lacking and I believe that I am just too tired and stressed to continue. I was supposed to take a vacation this month but I had to change my travel plans due to the pandemic. It was going to be the first trip I ever took without my parents.

The coronavirus is messing up everyone’s lives so it seems, including mine. And sadly, it is taking even more lives as we speak.  I have been battling depression over this and my anxiety is on overdrive. I try to steal little bits of joy whenever and wherever I can get it so that I don’t go completely nuts. My partner and son are fine and so is the rest of my family. I am very thankful for that. I keep hoping and praying that this thing will end soon but none of us know what we are really up against. We are just taking it one day at a time.

I will continue to blog as often as I can whether I am writing or not. And I thank you all just for reading my thoughts or caring about anything that I have to say. I am not an expert on anything, certainly not about life, love, or people. I just know that I am just trying to survive like you. That’s all anyone can do. God bless you all…

Until next time…
