BOX // Day 23, 17 April 2020

When you want to be brilliant, incisive and ahead of the game and begin the day making plans for your future and then you put your neck out, have a smacking great headache, and get on the go-slow train.

Despite trying to ignore the headache and pushing through, the day ends up feeling like a mess of disconnected ideas [those ideas literally laid out all over your floor].

You try to take solace in doing your daily “one day at a time’ drawing and all you got, after 15 attempts, is an empty box which nevertheless feels 100% accurate for how you’re feeling right now.

Hashtag is this the best I got.

Hashtag yes it is.

But hey, One Day At A Time, one foot in front of the other, tomorrow’s another day and can I cry now and jesus christ I want to go to my massage therapist sort my neck but I can’t because he's not allowed to work so too bad. Oh fck I'm whining again.

But wait, I just had another look at the drawing and actually, I quite like this box.

Day saved.
