Isolation

Grove of trees in Red Fox Meadows

Sure dealing with too much isolation over the past few days. Last week when I paid for my mocha at the Human Bean drive through, I actually touched the hands with the barista. Surprised me because it was probably my first physical touch with another human in 5 weeks. Things are not right.

Way to much consumer shopping on the internet in an attempt  to fix me, and we know that doesn’t work.

Snacking too much and looking for someone to blame for buying the snacks. Haven’t found him.

Been walking everyday which helps me stay out of my head, which is a dangerous neighborhood at times. 

Looking at upgrading my camera since Fujifilm has some sales going on. That won’t make me a better photographer, either.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    The barista story is a fascinating one. I fortunately don’t lack for human touch, and I’m comfortable with my kids coming to visit because, like us, they are pretty much loners and don’t get much outside contact either. I feel pretty safe with their visits.

    Personally? I blame the snack problem on the raccoon you chased off. He’s making you pay. Twice. 😉

    The walking is a great way to get fresh air and clear the head. Although admittedly the air – while less full of exhaust fumes these days – has plenty of pollen, at least around here.

    A new camera is seldom a bad idea, unless you just can’t afford it. If nothing else it gives you a great excuse to go out and “test” it. I’m having the same feelings about this sale. Although the camera I “really” want isn’t on sale.
