Today it feels like we are all going to fucking die. I wonder if these feelings are based on the day of the week. It is Monday. Everything is supposed to be new and fresh on Monday. We are also moving into Spring where at least 75% of the week will be pleasant and the sun will shine. Spring bulbs are popping. Birds are migrating in and out. None of these things negate the feeling of fear and death. Each day I try and start with calm and saying positive things to myself over and over but it is hard when you are on a slow moving train where the destination is miles away and you aren't even sure what is waiting for you.
Time to switch topics - Gardening. With all of the uncertainty, I have started more vegetables than usual. I have tomatoes, peppers and eggplant started. I also have cuttings of geraniums. I also went out before things really shut down and I have onions, leeks, potatoes and broccoli. It is supposed to be snowy and cold Thursday. I think I will get the garden started after that. Gardening is the one thing that will save me or at least keep me calm for a couple hours a day. That is something we all need.
