MCO 4.0 - Day 39

 9 July 2021     Day 39 of Movement Control Order 4.0

        Alarming. Bleak. Crestfallen. Distressing. Enraged. Foreboding. Grim. Hopeless. Infuriated. Jittery. Kicked in the gut. Lethargic. Miserable. Numbed. Ominous. Perturbed. Quite at wit's end. Resigned. Shook up. Threatened. Unnerved. Vexed. Wretched. Xtremely low-spirited. Yearning for freedom. Zonked.

        Seeing escalating Covid-19 figures despite the frontliners' unyielding sacrifices and our own conscious efforts to toe the line really makes me think there is no light at the end of the tunnel. All those feelings above do describe how I feel. At times, it's terrifying. At other times, I feel too tired to worry. Sometimes it angers me to see the struggle for power at times like these. And there are occasions when I just shut off any news on politics.

        Today's record high figure of new 9180 Covid-19 cases is indeed disheartening. How much longer can we hold on to the thread?

        Despite today being a Friday, which means the weekend's here to take a breather, I did not have a song in my heart as I cooked. Fortunately, it was an easy-peasy meal to cook and turned out to be tasty. I often cook this for my brunch on weekdays while working from home as it's super quick to whip up. When I shared the picture of my brunch with hubby last week, he asked me to cook it for him. And so we had it for dinner today.
