I agree.
So I'm looking forward to time passing. I am hopeful that in four weeks, give or take, the worst of this pandemic will be over.
Going out is risky, and too much trouble. I saw this recently and it really made me laugh.
So for now, I am pretty much staying inside. And there are some benefits.
- I spend no time getting ready, since I am wearing zero makeup and yesterday's clothes.
- Whomever I call is always home. But now there is no good excuse for wanting to hang up. It used to be that you could say things like, "Well, I better get going." But now if you say that someone can legitimately ask, "Why? Where are you going?" And then what do you say? Lame excuses like, I was just about to shower when you called? Or, Cuomo is on TV and I want to watch him?
- I am saving $44/month since I canceled the NY Times today, as my building no longer allows deliveries to apartment doors.
- Anything I have in the freezer (I typically don't keep much) will likely be eaten. Prior to now, I'd freeze something and then 8 months later toss it.
- I can now see if I'll have that gorgeous white-grey hair that some older woman have, or will I instead have the wiry, ugly kind that looks dreadful (it's looking like the latter).
- I am only spending money on food and the occasional medical/cleaning/household supply. The other day I buy a thermometer as the one I purchased when Alexander was born no longer works. That was 27 years ago.
- I finally get around to organizing, and sending out to print, my 2019 photo book, which took 3 full days to complete; it's a laborious process if you use Mimeo (via Apple) and don't autofill.
- But my 2019 Blog Book takes less than 30-minutes to complete. It's now out to be printed.
Today I blow dry my hair even though I'm staying in and seeing no one.
I'm just sick of looking at myself looking so bad.
I even put on some lipstick, but no other
makeup. That'd be going too far.
