Day 38 since I have left the house
More of my lost mail showed up today. One piece was a magazine that I pay for so that made me so happy.
I spent almost all day working on a work project since the deadline was today. I fooled around too much last week and left it so I had to rush at the end. I usually don't do that but this is a difficult time. I get stuck watching news reports and reading news stories. I talk to friends and family in the middle of the day. I text with friends at all hours. I have a need to feel connected. I know some people feel overwhelmed by all the connection but I am not one of them.
I haven't left my house in 38 days. I don't know what the outside world looks like except what I have seen on the news. I haven't seen neighbors except for the few that I have seen from my doorway when they stand at the bottom of my stairs. I haven't had the "shopping" experience since this shelter-in-place started. I see the postman more than anyone else when he drops off and takes my mail. Yes, it is my choice. I could choose to go outside and risk my health. But I feel I don't have a choice.
Until tomorrow...
