At least it is a sunny autumn day, although that means my grass will be in even more need of mowing. I was pleased to learn that our water restrictions are back to level 1 so that means I can finally wash my car later.
I'm trying to look at this shut down as positively as possible. Lists often help me cope with the clutter that bursts in on my brain when I should be focusing. I definitely cope best when I am organised so a self-imposed schedule with built-in flexibility will be important for me. I'm also aware that I have experienced mounting concern as the virus took over the world and that has taken a toll on my ability to concentrate, so I'm going to take a solid break in the 'holidays'.
I decided to add this blog to my Weebly because writing seems like a natural response to forced isolation. It is a safe form of communication and a healthy way to process the build up of thoughts. I'm also going to be encouraging my students to set up blogs, so this will be a model of sorts.
