I will hit the 50 day mark of my 100 days of flash on Sunday, and I am going to be honest, it’s been a really rough week. Work has been overscheduled with classes and I have had no down time, and when I do, I am exhausted. I have written something every day but they are not things I feel particularly good about.

I know that these goals and challenges are good for me but I am just feeling the weight of everything right now.

This pandemic is not letting up and yet I am still required to teach in class and participate in various questionable activities where social distancing is given lip service and nothing else.

And, I was specifically told that I couldn’t go anywhere beside home and work, and of course the essential shopping.

Apparently, everyone else has decided that it’s okay to shop or dine out or travel and here I am, stupid me, staying the eff home for my safety and everyone else’s because if anyone gets sick at my school, it will probably be me who gets blamed for it.

Anyway, pandemic frustration rant over, I am hoping to get a recharge this weekend and start fresh on my second half of my flash challenge!
