Why do things feel so run-down lately?

Does anyone else get the impression we are living in entropy?

Maybe it's where you live. I don't feel like that at all. In fact, the books on medieval England I ordered came in today and I'm quite excited. Plus, I went to dinner last night and, as usual, came home with most of it, so I have a lovely dinner planned. My cold is done and even though it's freezing out, I'm warm and toasty at home.

Maybe pick up a funny book (I recommend Carl Hiaasen) or watch some fun youtube videos.

Sorry you're feeling this way, JG.

Things don't feel rundown regarding what's going on with the pandemic where you are?

No, not really. We have a federal leader who, while being a bit of a drama idiot, has things mostly under control with the help of his able ministers. Most of our provinces have enacted strict and sensible precautions. Most of the population is complying.

The unvaccinated are fewer in numbers than in many countries and aren't allowed in to most places. If you're vaccinated, you can still do pretty much everything you did prior to the pandemic. If you're not, you can do those things if you provide proof of a negative PCR test. If you can't do that, you're limited to the very, very few places who will serve you under pre-vaccine conditions. In my vaccinated life, it's back to normal. Other than travel, of course, which is a questionable schmozzle.

Why do you feel so low? What can't you do? Can you dine out? Can you go to the library or bookstore? Can you take a walk, ride a bike, go for a swim?

JG10 - I worry a little about you. This is going to be the new normal.

Has anyone else here noticed this?
Yes.

Here's the thing; you don't have to take it upon your shoulders. Yes, things are falling apart. It's always been this way. The alternative is creation. Pick up your pencils and vellum Bristol board and get back to work!

I feel, that the issue of things feeling so run-down per time context is a mirror whose possession is happy.

The happiness, in question, refers to a juice use, like having a soap in one's hands, because of the truth that truth uses boredom as a means to question.

It could also be the time of year. It seems it should be spring...here and there you get a tease of a nice day and then wham it gets cold again or snowy ...spring rain also can cause one to feel run down...

I tend to feel a little like that this time of year wanting the warmer weather and the sun.
