Journal 16

For the next two weeks, one of my partner’s parents will be off work for the next two weeks. We all live together and most work from home. So, when one person is off, everyone else has to be off.

Not to worry, I am experienced in these situations. The best thing to do is to shut down all critical systems and only keep life support online. And maintain a small kernel of energy to jumpstart the battery on Monday to repair damages sustained and continue the fight.

I will be a leaf on the wind– Do as little work as possible, prepare tv shows and video games, cook yummy food, and not think or feel too much. Highly recommended approach.

My partner’s grandmother’s favorite day of the week was Monday. She would lay low until the last car left the driveway, wait a few minutes to make sure nobody came back, and exhale for the first time since the previous Friday afternoon.
