Today was another stressful day. I didn’t really keep track of how many days it’s been since we started this work from home because of the quarantine. I’ll figure it out later. I don’t think I took working from home for granted before this all, but now I know I took working from the office for granted for sure. I miss seeing everyone and the energy the studio had. Not to say I don’t love working with my wife every day, she’s my rock and one of the biggest reasons I live every day, but it’s hard to collaborate when you can’t effectively collaborate. People are starting to get snippy at each other. I guess it’s to be expected. I don’t know of anyone who has adequate de-stressors at this time. I’m trying to be understanding at work. Putting my best foot forward doesn’t work so well when my mind keeps me up all night. I don’t think I’ve slept enough for the last few nights and I’m not so sure if it’s my head or my body fighting my urge to sleep. There are nightmares sure, but then there are also just moments of my body just protesting to the thought of closing my eyes. Surges of adrenaline force me awake. This probably doesn’t help my mannerisms the next day but I still try. There’s a bigger picture every day. I try to focus on that. Ugh. I hope this all ends soon. I hope you all find happiness in this weird time.

Random thought of the day:
I really do wonder who decided what food tasted good and how. Like there’s gotta be someone out there that thinks pig placenta is a delicacy…
Inspirational quote of the day:
Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is teaching you how to take your power back. Anything you hate is teaching you, unconditional love. Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear. Anything you can’t control is teaching you how to let go. – Jackson Kiddard
