Blursday again

[redbird]

The Editorial Freelancers Association is having monthly contests to create relevant new words for these odd times. The May winner was

Blursday: As in, "What day is it? Who knows, every day is Blursday."

submitted by Deborah Wenger. The May contest was for an emotion a freelancer might feel about working during the COVID-19 crisis, but "Blursday" seems to be applicable to, or useful for, a lot of people, employed or not, because it seems like almost everyone's schedule is at least somewhat awry.

I am totally behind Blursday. Even though my computer tells me what day of the week it is when I power it up, that is not how I used to realize what day it was, apparently. I have calendars all over the house, too, but apparently, again, they were mostly used for aesthetic purposes or for reading about astronomy and phenology in between the monthly pages.

I mentioned to my psychiatrist today that I'm actually *using* the little date-and-time display on my desktop computer to tell me what day it is. In normal times, I usually knew that but wondered what time it was; now both are fuzzy.

So many things are fuzzy!

I still glance at the display to see what time it is, but then have to look back and actually pay attention if I want to know the day. I have some very ingrained habits that are no longer adequate but seem difficult to change.
