Your Dying Spouse 740 - Quarantine

A dodgy internet connexion has reall played hob with my regular schedule of three posts per week, and I apologise.

Personally, I'm not affected by the coronavirus thing. I'm already quarantined; I can't ride in a vehicle without extreme pain, and going out shopping or to Starbucks simply isn't on.

It's not a bad way to live. You just have to stay focused, and not weep over that which you cannot have.

The sonnet below first appeared as a comment on Michelle Ule's blog.

Cancer's got me quarantined,

and it's really not so bad.

Not, perhaps, livin' the dream

but there's fun yet to be had,

and life is still productive,

though it take some motivation

to avoid the self-destructive

aspects of the situation.

Take care to dress well every day

(don't lounge in an old dressing-gown),

alternate your work and play,

and be aware you have a crown

that awaits you with the Father;

do your best, today, to live the honour.

Music from Bobby McFerrin, with Don't Worry Be Happy.

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
