COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 9

COVID-19 Self-Quarantine Photos, Week 9

I don’t have much to say this week. I’ve still been cooking dinner for my family and my sister’s girlfriend every few nights, trying to create objects in physical space, and doing video calls with friends and Casey. But overall I’ve been barely functional. I had a back flare on Friday that I’m only now feeling back to normal from. The flare was nothing to worry about, but still upsetting given my spinal history and the fact that getting healthcare is particularly complicated at present.

I’m also grappling with questions about my career, my identity, and my responsibilities to my community and the world, but I don’t feel like talking about that online right now. Instead, here are pictures of what I was looking at this week.

I’m not sure what you call a cuboid with a dip on one side, but that’s what this is. I was aiming for a saddle shape, but fell short.
