Isolation Diary: Why are we more cheerful on some days than on others? When circumstances remain pretty much the same. I would call today a good day. In the present circumstances. That means that I found things to do and that I had a chance to talk to an actual person, in person. My neighbor, two doors down, is Sage of SageLifestyle, and several years ago I embraced one of her offered scents as mine. (Scents, perfumes, are personal. I have found very few, very very few, that I, body and soul, react well to) I order from her website, she delivers personally. I was in the midst of my tai chi practice but my Ring Chime went off and I saw her through my living room window and interrupted my form and was able to catch her before she disappeared and I talked with her. Talked. We were 40 feet apart ( I don’t actually know what 40 feet looks like.) We shouted at each other. She’s ok, although standing in the rain as we talked. I’m ok. What else? I have made 4 face masks. I attach a photo of my favorite one. I won’t need it for the next 10 days because the advice is to STAY IN!!! This was the official guidance as covid numbers were rising. 10 days, we thought.
I will not actually stay in the house, but I will not step off my property. Well, I do have to take the trash out and bring it back in. I will have to cross the sidewalk. I may have to put a foot on the street depending on what the trash trucks have done with my bins.
Sorry, I learned tonight that a friend of a friend of a friend has died from the virus. And that is as close as I want to get.
There is the possibility of survival, there is the possibility of death. How would I fare? I think I would survive. However i have not yet done what i want to do for my family. My immediate family and my extended family. So, I am staying in. Tomorrow I will be Zooming. With my improv group and my D&D group. English…….always making verbs out of nouns.
