Isolation Diary: Today I once again successfully avoided changing the filter of my under the counter drinking water system. This is a task I dislike, it’s awkward and messy. Today avoidance of this task was easier than other days as I had a Zoom Improv meet-up and then Maggie, Adam, and Fig came for a visit. After they left……uhm……okay, there’s the filter but I’m so tired. I took a nap. Then there was the daily exercise, the tai chi. Dinner. And…..an unstructured evening. Glancing here and there for something that ‘needs’ doing. Ah ha! How many months has this fabric and this pillow form sat here? This must be remedied. So I made a pillow. Odious task left to another day. I am months beyond the recommended date for filter change. But, hey, it’s just me here. Surely those recommendations are based on many people quaffing water hourly. Right? Avoidance is getting more difficult, however. But I’m not giving up. I have a fairly long list of ‘back burner’ projects………
