I went to a co-writing space for the last few months every morning and I really loved it. Getting out early every morning, a quiet place to focus that wasn't just my home, seeing other people working too. Unfortunately the place shut down and I've gone back to occasionally working in coffee-shops and many more hours at home, but I'm glad for what that space provided while it lasted!

My comment is combing this post and your prevoius one about aging and aching an puffing just walking up the stairs.

I liked reading these. Felt less alone in the similar kind of struggles. When I was younger I commited to aging with grace. So easy to say when you're not there yet.

I live in Auckland so today I got up in soldier mode went to my clinic for in person appointments, determined not to sink into the despair of isolation working from home in a state of environmental crisis. Clients cancelled and finally I accepted the safest thing was to head back home when I received the Red Alert Warning for weather and advising go home off the roads early if possible.

Disappointed I drove home, finished my work day in isolation. I just don't enjoy online chatting like I do the physical company of a human I like.

I go to the movies a lot by myself which I usually enjoy more than I don't. Last weekend I went with a friend who liked parts of the movie I liked. It was just so much more fun laughing together about the scene than laughing on my own.
