Dispatches from the Pandemic – Day 6

Starting to grow weary from all this staying at home. Opened up a bottle of bubbly at 2pm – airport rules. I took a break to play with the kitties and that perked me up a bit. Even though I’m still working now 4 hours later, I’m feeling way more productive. Could it be that it tames the noise in my head?

My cleaners are scheduled for tomorrow. I’m trying to decide if that is a smart thing or not. I really really really don’t want to do my own cleaning (is that bad?), they are following good safety protocols, they need the work, I need to clean because my allergies are acting up, and a clean home makes me happy (as long as I didn’t have to do it). But it does require me letting people into my home… R and I will leave the apartment when they arrive and go hang out in our cars. No coffee shops. No parks. Even the common areas in the building are closed. So cars it is.
