Not so new anymore…. This ‘A New Way Of Life’ series is drawing to an end with this post – simply because it no longer feels like a new way. The old way of life feels like a lifetime ago now and the new way, well….it has almost become the normal way. Perhaps a new series could be titled, ‘A Normal Way Of Life.’ But of course, none of us want the way the world currently is, to remain normal.

It’s nearly the end of Tuesday and although I have been working today, I have not left home. I have not left home yet I am drained of energy – I just want to sleep. Sleeping sometimes provides an escape from all things virusy (is that a word? It is now).
