Yet another two weeks of COVID-19 Movement Control Order ...

I mentioned on Facebook some time ago that I actually enjoyed staying at home and not having to go to work ... Truth be told, cabin fever has set in ... It's not COVID-19 kind of fever, but still, can be fatal ... to one's mind ...

My mind and body have gotten really used to the fact that I can continue to sleep after 7.00am, even though I actually cannot go back to sleep once my brain is roused from it ... The quality of my sleep is now affected by the fact that I don't go to work anymore ... Because my body is not tired from a day's work, I find it more and more difficult to fall asleep ... This is not good for me because my brain needs enough rest and if I suffer from lack of sleep, I worry that it may affect my general well-being ... I doubt that I would relapse into another episode, but the worry is there ....

Other than that, writing on my movie script has stalled ... Ever since I finished reading The Shawshank Redemption screenplay, I have been plagued by my own insecurity in ever producing a passable script ... I am now just reading the Teach Yourself series on Screenwriting to get the juices flowing, but now am faced with daunting words from the book about creating the best kind of screenplay ... It seems there are so many things to take into account, and I have no idea how to move forward with the knowledge gained from reading the book ...

I actually think that what I need is to read a variety of books, fiction or non-fiction, to get the juices going, but all bookstores are closed ... And for the next two weeks, I am just left to my own devices ... I think it will actually be better if I was able to go to work because it can be the kind of distraction my mind needs in order for it to focus on writing my script further, the irony of that ...

For now, I am faced with two weeks of just lazing around and being the person assigned to get groceries ... I look forward to every outing as it is my chance to flex my muscles and do something active ...

Oh, and apparently I am getting some kind of pay ... My employer says they will bank in our pay ... I do hope it is sufficient ... Apart from worrying that I may lose my mind, I also fear that I may lose my job as well ... All I can do now is just hope for the better ...
