I just added this to my 'do every Monday' stuff because other than Official Patreon crossposts I haven't been posting here at all, & Official Patreon crossposts don't tend to have the personal stuff, which I really do need to write abut sometimes or they'll all get stuck in my head & fester.
UGH so, the 'rona. I'm lucky as FUCK in that I have a safe place to live & that I've actually been making _more_ sales than before the plague hit. Still stressed as fuck, though. I'm only shipping stuff once a week, which means I'm only seeing people other than my roommate once a week, which I'm mostly okay with if only because even before the plague I only rarely saw people, but I don't LIKE it & eventually it's gonna hafta change.
I went to the grocery store two days ago; it'd been three weeks since the trip before that, & with luck I'll be able to do that most of the time. I'll have to head into down this Friday, though, because I have stuff to pick up at Home Despot, because apparently they don't SHIP any more, just ship stuff to their stores for people to pick up. Because now is? apparently a good time to make people come into the store??
URGH. I'm not getting stuff from them again until either I've been vaccinated or they start shipping again. Lowe's exists. So does Menards. (Did you save big money?)
Couple weeks ago was Loiosh's twelfth birthday & a week later The Vagabond Tabby's 12th birthday, so I had a big sale, which turned out to be HUGE, WOW. Also stressful; apparently I have leveled up in Small Business & need to scale operations up slightly. I'm not gonna do TOO much until I know it's gonna stick, but I did order a microwave to go in my workroom so I don't have to haul stuff back & forth from the kitchen any more. That will be NICE.
Work progresses on Tyrava, if slowly. But then everything is going slowly. I'm sleeping between ten & twelve hours a day but still tired, which was happening some before the plague, but the stress hasn't helped at ALL. I'm not trying to do much about it other than just take care of myself as much as I can *shrug*. I do want to go to the doctor to ask about all the tired, but who knows when that sort of thing is gonna be a good idea again?
The cats are mostly fine. Even Loiosh is becoming resigned to not getting to see his people.
I'm mostly not checking the news on my own. Stuff filters through from Twitter or from people posting here & that's ... basically all I can cope with. If I read too much my mental health starts sliding from 'not great, but here we are' to 'if I don't do something Right Now this is gonna be potentially dangerous'. I don't like it, but all the other options are worse.
But I'm surviving. It ain't fun, but I'll get through it.

Something like that.
It's all we can do. For me, making music in Lord of the Rings Online is my joy. Last night I rewrote lyrics for The Gambler and played Celtic music for 3 or 4 hours on a server that I don't normally play music on that has very high standards for music.

I have smished him on your behalf. He made cranky ears & fucked off to the other room. He's still not as much of a curmudgeon as Chocolate was though.
