83. COVID-19 Self-isolation Day 48 Upset

My nerves are frayed. I am definitely down to my last teeny tiny thread. I Must Medicate. Like it or not. I have three types of medication and each suck in different ways.

Then the third is superpleasant but also superunhealthy and super addictive.

I tried alcohol and it wasn’t working. Day three of no alcohol and that’s not working either.

hmmmm, maybe yoga. It’s harder work than taking a pill, but let’s try that.
