2020/05/31: April

finally found the courage to

fill in my monthly sales report

since i need the figure

to confirm my fear below

*

let’s face it

April recorded the lowest figure

since September 2015

a 35% drop from March

*

if hash tags were to be used

it would probably look like

# sharp decline

# plunge

# collapse

*

and of course

during times like these

small tasks really matter a lot

it’s like collecting water

from a dripping pipe

*

and can even make a difference

because i was expecting

the worst already

*

at the end of the day

even though it doesn’t

seem as bad after all

it really felt like

the longest month ever

*

on a brighter note

i found a life!

minus travel and work

*

started reading again

could easily finish 1 novel

in 2-3 days when

there wasn’t much to do

*

i even started writing

a brief book report

something done casually

5 sentences max

*

and for almost 2 months

managed to work out

without fail everyday

*

it was really satisfying

the sweat, the pull

and of course

the well-fitted jeans

*

by late April

where my birthday happened to land on

it no longer seemed as bleak

*

not saying that

the bad times are over

but it probably couldn’t

get any worse

*

who knows?

but i am definitely more prepared
