A New Beginning with Blogger: Feeling a bit disoriented

 I wasn't expecting this rather disorienting screen when I logged in this evening. I'm not sure I like it or not. It does take a little getting used to as I type. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. There were warnings that this format was going to change way back in June. Change has always been upsetting in some ways for me. You're probably thinking right about now that we've all gone through so many life-altering changes over the past five months that this shouldn't rattle me.

Actually the more I "play" with it, the more I like it. I definitely like the new bigger screen. I also like the big new button for the labels that I usually have at the bottom of the blog. I am wondering how it will look once I publish it though. Will the whole screen change?

I know you may laugh to see my reaction to this new beginning. Any huge change takes time to get used to for me. I am having a very difficult time adjusting to what people are now calling the "new normal." Mask wearers make me feel disoriented...like I stepped into a Doctor Who episode. If you recall the episode where everyone was wearing an earpiece that controlled their thoughts, it is the same feeling that I'm getting now with these masks.

Yes, I do understand the conditioning and how manipulative mind control can be. I also understand that some people can't be manipulated due to certain processes in their minds. These masks are a form of mind control. You get enough people to go along with the mask wearing, tell those that refuse that they are crazy and create an ongoing fear factor...you get disorientation. It doesn't help that many are making it seem that mask wearing is in "vogue" or your "patriotic" duty. I can't get behind that as it leaves behind so many of us who really can't wear masks for many reasons.

I admitted here that my main reason for not wearing a mask continuously as many do, is that I have maskaphobia. It started back in March, and was barely noticeable, but increased when the mask wearing became mandatory in my state. I still have a rather mild form. I can go to the grocery store if I only have to wear the mask for a few seconds as I step in, a few minutes as I wait in line (I've clocked the time...and do notice that after a few minutes my symptoms increase) and maybe fifteen minutes at the bank. I do have to advert my eyes, so I never look directly at someone...or I do start displaying those symptoms. I have prayed, and that has helped a little.
