Lonely Sunday

The weather was nice today, so I decided to go to the Gainesville-Hawthorne trail for some exercise. I dug around in the closet for my never-used air compressor that I bought specifically for my bicycle and then failed to use.

I went to Depot Park and hopped on the trail. According to my smartwatch I cycled 9 miles. My endurance was awful, but that’s because I haven’t exercised in literally months.

The views were nice, though.

Still, it was nice to get out. There were a ton of people there. I had to constantly hold my breath going by everyone; I didn’t want to hang out in someone’s aerosol cloud. Apparently, it only takes seconds of exposure to catch Covid due to how much the virus has evolved.

I got some food from Bolay and headed home. Once there, I tried to work for a while, but my body was telling me that it was time to rest. So I continued my Voyager rewatch, played Horizon: Forbidden West, and caught up on The Last of Us before the finale aired. I went to Publix, got some snacks, came home, and watched TLOU finale. They stuck pretty close to the game, and I loved the ending.

I took my weed gummies, got ready for bed, and was suddenly struck with the urge to write this entry.

I’m starting to feel a bit lonely. It’s been nearly 6 months since Jodi and I separated, and now it’s been 6+ weeks since Tabitha died. I don’t have a ton of interaction with other living beings. Even my therapist is out of town this week. The only interaction I’m going to have with people is via video calls for work.

Tomorrow I’m going to find out if my boss, Andrew, wants to keep me on as a half-time contractor. I pitched the idea on Thursday when we talked about me staying on long-term. I have another, better-paying contract that starts at the end of the month that I’ll be working on full time for at least a few months. I don’t know what’s next after that, but I will be on the lookout for new opportunities (and upgrading my marketing skills!).

The Oscars are tonight. I hope that Everything Everywhere All At Once wins. It was pretty good.

I should sleep.
