If time and space still matter to you, it’s Friday. Odds are excellent that you might be a little freaked out. By times, I am, too. I had a couple of misty-eyed moments this week thinking about how different things were such a short time ago.
Bleh! Let’s move on quickly to avoid getting sucked into the doom spiral!
Two suggestions
- Do not binge the news. It’s a rabbit hole in the middle of a shit show and all that shit is flowing into that hole. Stay informed, sure, but do not overdose. You can’t waste energy on things (and idiots and morons) you can’t control. For your mental health, find something better to do. I say this not only as a person who is prone to anxiety and depression, but as an inveterate wallower.
- Take a break of some kind. Bake bread, maybe? I do. Walk in circles as you rock out to bangin’ tunes. I do that, too. Shower. I’m resolving to keep that habit going daily! Wheeeeee!
Or…ooh, ooh! How about this? Take eight minutes and thirty-six seconds to listen to a short story about a date that’s close to going very wrong.
Here’s the link to the audio.
This complementary audio adventure is called The Fortune Teller. It’s from one of my anthologies, Murders Among Dead Trees.
Enjoy!
Robert
P.S. If you dig free audio stories, check out my recording of the first chapter of Citizen Second Class, too. You’ll find the audio on my author site here.

Apologies but I don’t enjoy audio so I didn’t check the story out, but I do like your other suggestions. I made recognizable raisin bread yesterday! And I walk around my garden with the animals. Not to forget music. It’s all good, and in many ways it’s not that different to what I do 90% of the time. It’s just that small 10% that frustrates me. Better a little frustrated than dead though. 🙂
The audio thing is a low-pressure situation. I enjoy doing it and some dig it. I’ve been baking more and getting some things organized, focusing on what I can control. It seems to help.
-grin- I’ve been baking more too. If there’s a silver lining about this pandemic, it’s that we’ve all rediscovered the joys of cooking. Sadly my breads are a major disappointment. -sigh-
Stay well. 🙂
