Okay. FIRST. I do not, nor does anyone I know. Have the corona virus.
That out of the way. My "Day Job" as it were is teaching English to Chinese children. I do this online and life now involves a lot of figuring out how to calm frightened kids who can barely speak English, and the ones who are actually quite good at it make the situation more complicated by asking deep and relevant questions..
Now the kids over there just had their winter break and were headed back to school. However the Chinese gov decided to give them an extra week to let things settle. So a lot of parents want to keep their kids calm and busy and my company is getting flooded with new clients. The company sent out a plea for teachers to open class times during regular school hours. Something most of us never do for obvious reasons. For me that means midnight to six am.
Suffice it to say between worrying about my precious little regulars, figuring out what to say, and going back to a sleep schedule I haven't worked since 2008 i the bush Alaska my creative juices are low and my will power is weak.
Look at the pretty picture and see if you can figure out where the raptor is hiding.
