I had to look up ARC. How exciting!!!

Same. More down than up. I was struggling with basic life even before COVID, now getting even less done, but even more guilt because my life hasn't actually been affected too badly - I already worked at home, and work slowed down a lot for a month or so, but it's already picking back up and I'm grateful I continued to have some work throughout.

And I'm a depressed introvert with painful hypersensitive and sensory overload issues, so it's not like I was mingling much with people or crowds before. But at least I knew the choice was there, if I ever felt better.

But I'm still having a lot of trouble focusing and getting anything done.

On the bright side, couldn't sleep last night and realized my preorder of the Hunger Games prequel was on my Kindle :) . It's been nice to lose myself in a brand new story.

Wow, thanks! I had a lot of the same gaps, and I was thinking of doing a rewatch.

I already worked at home, but the restrictions are still getting to me. My work has gone down a lot, but I'm lucky I still have some. I'm just trying to focus on things I can do, giving my pets a lot of love, trying to get things done around the apartment that I normally don't have time for, but I have a real hard time mustering up the energy to really get anything done. Knitting is still my therapeutic fallback, helps a lot with focus and anxiety. Though I keep starting new things because that's fun .

One project is a LOTR One Ring Scarf. It's going to take a while, but I do enjoy working on it:

That was great, I want a dog like that xD

A year and a half ago I was totally intimidated at the thought of knitting a sweater (I just did baby blankets and scarves, pretty straightforward), but now I'm on my 4th sweater, and I just applied and was picked for my first test knit!! That means I'll knit a sweater from a new pattern that hasn't been released yet to help the designer work out any problems with the written pattern. Knitting has been a very much needed mental health therapy thing these past few years (often while watching something with Mark :)), and I'm so excited to be doing a test knit for a designer I really respect.

Thank you so much for this!! You wouldn't happen to have Voyager or any of the other Star Treks? :D I lost most of mine when a backup hard drive failed and I didn't realize it had the only copy of most of my MW Star Trek videos :(

I don't know how to link to anything, but I think Arthur_Dent asked that and linked it in the comments on that episode.
