Worked from home for another week (mostly). Almost finished and ready to submit the deTour proposal. Really hope that this collaboration work will be accepted and can see the light of day.
With the deTour proposal out of the way and the pandemic slightly easing off (down to double digit confirmed cases for last 7 days), I started shifting my focus back to studio work. Went back to work on Fri. and Sat., successfully upgraded one of the 3D printers and started picking up the studio’s cleanup/renovation once again. Will start transitioning back to work this coming week.
It’s actually a bit exhausting staying home and not socializing for 2 weeks. It didn’t seem as bad the first time. We were all experiencing the pandemic for the fist time in our lives back then, group chats were alive sharing news and helping each other out. And after months of social distancing, we had like a month in June and July to meet up friends and catch up with all the pandemic happenings. Never have I seemed so grateful and cherish the time with friends. But now the 3rd wave hit, we all know what to do from experience, social distancing was automatic, messaging apps seemed relatively silent this time around. You know there’s nothing you can do to help besides staying home and letting the medical professionals battle the virus. Felt like time and life is just ebbing away. It’s actually exhausting to do nothing.
Hopefully the pandemic numbers will continue to decline and that we’ll be able to see our friends again soon. God, please be merciful to us and continue to help us through this pandemic. ??
