During this time of pandemic-induced hunkering down, I find myself feeling tired despite having not done much all day. My friends tell me the same thing is happening to them. Like Newton’s law that a body in motion stays in motion, and a body in rest stays at rest, it seems like the less I do, the more I want to nap. I realize that this faux fatigue is just the byproduct of staying at home, a recent surgery for a broken arm, and getting used to life at a different pace.
