What has been taking up our time is just getting used to this being what our life is like. I am working from home, and that doesn’t lend well to helping with the schooling of the kid, which the wife has to do, pretty much, alone. Grocery shopping has to happen during the week to avoid huge lines, and even then, it still can be a three-hour chore. Laundry just feels dangerous, and even though the laundromat I go to is clean, enforces social distancing with people by limiting the number allowed in at one time, but still, and this is an emotional reaction not a logical one; it just feels unsafe for some reason. And lots of walks, but not so much with the working out, and that does need to change soon. The weather is getting better, so hopefully we can get on that.
And that is what life is sort of like, which is not bad compared to other people, but it also feels like this will go on forever. It feels like the only thing that changes is the weather, and we just wash and repeat every day. It’s like we are living “Groundhog Day,” and I do wish Bill Murray was here.
