Whew, the end is nigh…and that means crunch time…and that means no time to do anything else but assignments! Well, yes and no…

I have made a weekly date with a friend and we have been walking Mt Doug park every Saturday for over a month now – so that’s good.

I’m doing major catch-up on assignments today – plus chores – so I have been checking boxes of left and right today. I feel much better if I have had a productive weekend, although there are those weekends where I have not left the couch. Those days are few and far between lately with looming deadlines – however, it is still screen time, just a different type of screen.

I have not been running due to worry about the cramped muscle – this happened before, different muscle though – but same fear of injury. If I injure myself I tend to stop and wish to start but am afraid of injury. I will need to figure this out because it does not make for getting back into a running routine successful.

I will be glad when this program is over, only to have some free time again, but I do not know what that will look like, nor if I will actually allow myself free time. I’m not even sure what life will even look like with how COVID is evolving. I am hoping to see the inside of a gym again without anxiety of catching something more serious that a cold.

For the time being I am taking a day at a time, an assignment at a time, a term at a time and watching the light at the end of the tunnel getting brighter and brighter. I will continue to journal and plan for days ahead and wait to see what happens when vaccinations are administered and the fear of looming contamination starts to look like an annual flu shot in the future. It will take patience…please give me patience.
