Isolation and random thoughts

I figured now is as good a time as any to start recording my thoughts again. I just started using my old tumblr again, however I prefer blogger for long rambling posts and getting my thoughts out. Plus, here, you're not going to get reblogged and bitched at. This is basically a dead platform and a great place to just get it all out. I blocked so many people on tumblr. also changed my username because of past negativity. I've relegated it to being simply a collection of images I like. For now, I doubt I'll try to interact/participate on there with any fandoms. My real friends stopped using it years ago also. I guess I'm too sensitive.

I made a big batch of Japanese style curry last night with zucchini, carrot, potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that's lunch+dinner for at least 5 days. I remember the first time I ever attempted it ages ago, I screwed up the roux, but it's actually the easiest thing and something I make all the time already. Butter, flour, stir until toasty brown. Toss in the spices and flavours you like. 10/10. I could have paired it with rice, but I already have two types of potatoes, so what do I need even more extra carbs for? Especially when I'm not walking 3-4 km a day like I usually do. However, I'm trying to make up for that with pilates, which I used to do pretty often anyway.

Most people in my building are also staying at home and I hardly ever hear a door open in the hallway. The parking lot is full. In between chores and whatnot, I have also been using my free time to read some books, play the Sims 4 (they had a conveniently timed sale on the origin store so I got a few packs I wanted before) and write. I also wanna revisit some classic Fire Emblem: specifically 7 and 8. Those are my favourites and would provide a much needed dose of nostalgia. I need to download an emulator though.

If anything all this has reaffirmed my desire to live in the countryside and try to carve out a sustainable life for myself. I wasn't born a city dweller. I spent my childhood between a small town and later full blown rural living without a neighbour in sight. Eventually I’ll return to that.

Oh well, I can't do anything about that right now, so I'm just gonna to watch a movie.
