Boredom. It has set in to a degree, because I'm hitting a block on good television shows. I started watching two, and realized, hours in, that it was just shit.

I'm having some motivational problems doing anything, though.

So it goes. It isn't as though there aren't a few good (meaning, not completely irrelevant) distractions. I have friends who check in with me via video and phone. I have a few friends in need.

But this pandemic has largely freed my life from context. I'm more defined by what I'm not doing than what I am - at least, that's the way I feel. All previous-to-this-year self-defining activities have fallen by the wayside. 

I'm not a traveler, performing musician, social drinker, audience member, worker. While my relationships to people hasn't changed much, the way I interact with them has, largely falling away.

I feel a bit undefined. I feel a bit redefined, but in a non-progressive way. I've become something I would describe as a mush-brained couch potato.

Which is in the lower-middle hierarchical position of self-description - no self-harm, no destruction. Boring.

I'm grateful for what I am and what I have, not for what I was or could be, or what I want.
