Day 10 of Social Distancing Thoughts (adapted from Tumblr)

Been reading my circle's update posts and wanting to add one of my own ;)

This is adapted from a couple of my recent Tumblr text posts, so apologies to anyone who follows me there--

A thing I'm really struggling with:

The constant, intense, detail-oriented meticulous CAREFULNESS about EVERYTHING that dealing with this pandemic requires does not come naturally to me at ALL and quite frankly it is stressing me out.

A small thing that's really comforting to me right now: a few weeks ago I downloaded the app for a search engine called Ecosia onto my phone; I think I heard about it here on Tumblr. Their revenue model involves using ad revenue to plant trees, and from everything I can tell they fund local organizations so it’s not a case of Westerners parachuting in and thinking They Know Best. Anyway, it takes about 45 searches to fund a tree, and I was _ridiculously_ happy this morning when I opened the app to look up something and it said I’d done 91 searches, which means I’ve planted my 2nd tree :)
