The campus is shut down. Classes are remote. The dean sent out an email telling all faculty and staff to use Zoom and not meet in person. Yet, some workaholics still have the audacity to say isn’t it great that we only have to devote ourselves to research right now?
I feel like I need a night to just shut off and shut out all the stress. I’m going to try to get that tonight. Get my rest. Clear my head. Get centered. Accept this new normal. Get back on with everything tomorrow. I need to remember that my own immune system matters a lot right now in regard to keeping others safe. I need to be implementing the self-care that I very often neglect. Proper sleep. Stress management. Good diet. Probiotics. The vitamins I often lack. These things have become all that more vital.

I suppose that if we’re going to have a worldwide event that uproots many people’s lives and disrupts extant social systems by revealing how inadequate they are at taking care of the vast majority of people and causing massive social upheaval and reworking, I’d rather it be a pandemic than the WWIII.
