Isolation Diary: I have been without internet access for almost a day. I am cribbing off Jessie’s at the moment. I sort of wish I had missed this day entirely. Must have been a bad news day. I won’t have home wifi until Monday afternoon. And for some reason the Personal Hotspot that was functioning perfectly last month has disappeared. Hey, something to do tomorrow! So little or no FB or email until Monday, if all goes well. If you don’t hear from me by Tuesday night, somebody come knocking on my door, please. I may have dumped the pieces of 8 or 9 jigsaw puzzles on the floor in a mixed up heap and fallen asleep while trying to put the puzzles together.

Well, maybe the Internet is highly overrated? Of course, that’s easy for me to say, since I’m connected. You’re a wildly creative woman. Just imagine you’re in a time capsule and have been catapulted back to, well, 1970. Or maybe 1670? Yeah! Turn off all electricity and light some candles and…okay. I’ll shut up. Even I’m annoying me!Holly B.
Dear Ruth, My life has been a jigsaw puzzle. Wish I could come and knock on your door and share a story or two.Walt K.
Ruthie, I read stay-in-placers pissing & moaning over their self–imposed confinement and the travails they “must endure.” But not you. You’ve shown it’s doable and have managed routines enough to keep you occupied with a daily fresh attitude while keeping your head above water. For myself, being disabled, I’ve been living in the same bed in the same nursing home going on seven years now and what with accepting fate, some judicious planning, meditation and friends, often I barely find sufficient hours in the day. It’s not all banquets and bicycles but there is hardly a justifiable alternative ~~ as you have shown. Your postings are much appreciated.Henrietta C.
It might be a great opportunity…who knows…to return to Tai Chi and a direct relationship with the present, instead of a mediated one. But if this happened here…I’d feel exactly the same. Wait, it has happened here. But last year, because we had so many electrical outages in the deep woods, we actually got a generator. So we don’t lose the internet anymore. Although we maybe should…
