catherineldf It has been, and continues to be a rough week.
So what am I doing?
- Still having problems sleeping.
- Still in some discomfort/pain (they did take the first round of staples out this week, which hurt a fair amount but does mean there's progress).
- I'm working but haven't been able to drive to the office.
So what am I doing?
- Gathering together my community and checking on people. Also, going and seeing people in person. I cannot emphasize this enough. Get offline and go see folks you know and trust. It helps them and you.
- Planning small events and pulling in folks I don't see much.
- Making some calls, sending emails, signing petitions, boosting signals.
- Focusing on spending my money at LGBTQ or women or POC or immigrant-owned businesses and nonprofits that I know to be good for our communities,
- Working on my two latest short story collections.
- Helping my wife create her new Etsy shop.
- Seeing what I can clear off my plate so I can volunteer when I finish healing, feeding people, listening, talking, wishing I was doing more and recognizing that I will when I can.
