Dear COVID-19,
One day you’re in; the next day you’re out.
But yet you’re still here. And where am I?
Trapped on the couch watching way too much Reality TV. Clearly.
I even managed to get through some of my “Ridiculousness” backlog.
I still have a ways to go.
It’s only been a week of intense social distancing, but it has taken a toll on this extrovert who loves nothing better than to be out of the house.
I remember my mother and father always being aggravated with me:
Mom: Why can’t you sit still?
Me: I just can’t.
Dad: You are going out AGAIN?
Me: YES!
My boss told me I could work from home.
I said I had two teenage boys at home. No WAY I want to be there.
So I’ve been splitting my time.
Answer emails. Walk to work. Answer more emails. Advise students via Zoom. Talk to whoever might be around at a safe distance. Walk home. Answer more emails. Read industry reports.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
On Friday, I spoke to two people. It was a big day.
I’ve been doing plenty of cooking and cleaning. Talking to people ON THE PHONE (!). And drinking. So much for the good done via Dry January.
I just read a horrifying article that indicates this could go on for 10-12 WEEKS.
If that is what it takes to keep more people from getting you, COVID-19, then I understand, and will try not to complain.
But I really wish you would take the hint and LEAVE.
Impatient and unhappily housebound,
Beth

You poor extroverts! I’m just like, “And so????”
