What do I do to be involved in the community?
Wow. Great, great question. Right now? Nothing. I am ashamed to admit it, but it’s true. Right now, I do nothing to be involved in my community. At least the one I literally live inside. I’ve talked about getting involved after this latest election, especially since I’m stepping away from social media. I haven’t followed through on that yet. I’ve talked about volunteering at an animal shelter. I haven’t followed through on that yet. There’s so much need around me, and so far, I’ve done pretty much nothing. I need to do better. I can do better.
In terms of other communities, most recently, I did many many hours of volunteer work for the writers’ conference a facebook group I’m part of put on each year. I did that for several years as an act of service. But I’m not even doing that right now. I’ve been very involved in my own thing. Too much, I think. Sigh. Good question tonight.

I feel better. I think whatever bug it is went through me quickly. I’m back in bed! Still going to take it easy tomorrow for the most part, but I think I’m good. Back to the normal routine soon!
I don’t have much to say about today. I took a nap. I got all my Netflix work done. I took care of the pups and went on a couple walks with Bear, which was nice. I tried to take it easy for the most part and succeeded, I think. Caught up on my Shakespeare reading. About to finally finish Titus Andronicus. What a bloody, sensationalized, head-spinning, but in brief moments brilliant play. It’s definitely extreme. Big swings of emotion, so much so that they stretch (and break) plausibility at times, but there are the moments here and there where you’re like…well that was pretty good. Excited to finish it, and excited to move onto the next.
Night night!
