this winter has been extra hard :/

I live in Michigan and it feels like the norovirus season has been neverending this year. I’d actually started feeling like I was almost completely recovered, but the constant barrage of headlines about influenza and norovirus have sent me into a total tailspin all winter. I work from home and rarely go anywhere to begin with, which is usually fine, but I can feel it turning into agoraphobia this year—I panic for 48 hours every time I leave the house. Today I challenged myself to go to the crowded farmer’s market and a restaurant with a friend, though, and while I’m definitely anxious I’m also proud of myself for getting back on the horse.

Anyway! Just a post to say if you’re struggling even more than usual this year, I can relate. And we’re almost there! We got this! But it still sucks lol
