luzulaI think the pandemic is finally getting to me. I mean, not that I haven't chafed at it before, but I've mostly done fairly well. There have been some positive aspects for me (spending a lot of time with my mom, being at the family summer place a lot), but since coming home from my parents' place I've felt increasing amounts of mental discomfort at home.
I find myself holing up in my room, and when I have to go into the kitchen when any of my flatmates are there, I feel like I want to hold my breath, but of course I can't, and so I just feel a lot of mental discomfort while breathing, and also mental discomfort because I feel like I'm making them feel like they're plague-ridden. Mostly I wait until they're not there. It's okay if the window is wide open so the ventilation is good, but one of them dislikes drafts, so. We just have different levels of risk evaluations--I basically don't meet up with friends indoors at all, while at least one of the others wants to be able to bring home friends and does also meet up with people indoors at other places. And of course this also impacts our relationships as flatmates. /o\ I felt so much more relaxed when I lived with my parents, because they were more careful.
In the last week, my area got 345 new confirmed cases per 100,000 people. It's down by half from the peak of the second wave, but now the number of new cases is increasing again, by 13% in the last week. Augh, Sweden. /o\ /o\ And vaccination is going slow, not because of lack of capacity, but because of lack of vaccines. Only 8% have been vaccinated with at least one dose, and 4% with both doses.
I feel best when I'm outside, so I guess the fact that spring is coming is an upside. Funny, I've seen other people saying that they feel unsafe outside? Maybe this is because it's easy for me to get out in the woods where there are no other people?
