“My connections to family, friends, colleagues, and the outside world.

My hurriedly set-up work-from-home office.

My neatly organized work-life balance.

My reliance on screens.

My patience.

Everything is frayed and tangled.

Movement has been restricted.

Pain and tension reside in my neck.

My eyes are strained and I’m dizzy.

My literal and metaphorical view of every day is distorted.

This is going to take some serious undoing.”
