126 weeks ago we went into lockdown

 and boy have a lot of things happened since then. Week 127 starting tomorrow will bring new crazy and more change, at work this time (after the raid on the exprez residence Monday August 8 and our trip to England before then and covid and becoming a citizen before that and whatever else). We are merging/remarrying and it starts next Monday and everything has to be prepared before then.

Age is tricky; just as we are beginning to get comfortable with ourselves and feel ready to project some authority in the world we lose it to age and forgetfulness. 

I need a plan for a house in Bath - maybe The centre house of the crescent (#16) was used as a residence and to host blue stocking events by Elizabeth Montagu.^[33]

Elizabeth Montagu and Hannah More and Fanny Burney and Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi and the others

William Pulteney, Sam Johnson, Edmund Burke and Joshua Reynolds?, David Garrick and Horace Walpole

Connect to women, 18th Enlightenment culture, the changing role of Shakespeare, tea and other socials (weekly salons)

52+42 WTF - if I counted right

 Gosh --- since October .... more covid everywhere, right now we are doing omicron and it is exhausting. The end of the semester was barely survivable, worse than last year. 

Nietzsche is gone - December 14 - and it hurts like summabitch. His kidneys gave up and the last two days he did not eat or drink. Now there are no wet spots on Jim's underwear on the floor or the bath mat and no turds on the living room carpet. It is a great relief, but it is also a weird reminder of our loss.

Mom is in Naples and was supposed to be here today, flight got cancelled (Omicron) and she should arrive tomorrow. Last night we had dinner with Ben and Kerri and Kaitlyn and Cameron who has completed basic, medic, and airborne training and is now with the 82 airborne and a tall, strong, proud young man who answered all of our 90,000 questions patiently.

52+31 and the WTFs keep multiplying

SWAG workshop on working with resistance

 

Writing resistance:

External

Internal

   Procrastination - starting on low priority tasks

   Avoidance - doing everything but, low or high end

    Limiting beliefs - I need a lot of time, I must wait for inspiration, I have to finish reading/thinking first

What are my stories? What is my resistance?

 

Functions of resistance:

Resistance as a bodyguard (avoiding the scary and dangerous part of writing)

   Technical errors

 

   Psychological

 

External realities

Gotta go again - but I am still here, still working. Thinking that one day soon I might get space to work.
