I imagine every winter they wondered if the war would end and then every spring, it was still going on, for six years.<br /><br />If they could do that, I can do this I figure but it does feel like groundhog day, every fucking day. We are all stuck in limbo it seems which I supposed is better than being stuck in hell:)<br /><br />But I do know how you feel.

...Pandemic fatigue indeed. How can we not feel it? <br />It is interesting to see what children photograph. And yes, I have seen some pictures that children have taken when given a camera. It's fascinating. Of course first the boys wanted to do SnapChat and were quite disappointed to discover I didn't have it. <br />I'm pretty sure that google can solve all of our problems. Or at least a hell of a lot of them. And answer most of our questions. Oh! I forgot to say that August also advised me to drink a cup of coffee to focus my mind.

I totally understand having pandemic fatigue. I get it too, and it waxes and wanes. I'm sure I'd feel it in an even more pronounced way if I lived around my family and it affected my interactions with them.<br /><br />I love seeing Levon's pictures! It's so interesting to see what kids photograph. Have you ever seen those projects where kids are given cameras and sent out to take pictures?

Thomson and Michael are 3 and 5 years old and my son has sent me 5 pages of instructions/information/suggestions to help me!

Not funny really though since in the not too distant past children did die in childhood quite frequently. I did my week's shopping yesterday and this time the big empty shelves was dry dog food. It changes week to week.

Also people who use wheelchairs are at a much lower height than other adults. It all affects how much information you get from where you are. <br /><br />I think a lot of us are closer to the edge than we say we are. I notice doctors routinely ask how we're coping with covid. My son's dentist asked him last week!<br /><br />I really have to force myself into the car these days, so nervous about driving and being out. But I think it's good to do it, though I'd be just as happy never leaving the house again!

I got it and when I saw her in it, I laughed and laughed. Mine covered my butt, hers hung to her knees. Mine fit well, hers was small across the chest. I announced something was wrong with the shirt since we were the same size. She informed me people are the the size we perceive them, and I perceived her my height, not two inches shorter, and my size, not ten or more pounds heavier. <br />People are the size we perceive them.

But then I see Dennis crouched over trying to find something in the fridge that is in plain view to me and realize I am happy just my height. I think being taller than average is more of a burden than being shorter than average. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
