Wheezy the beginning of week 2 on lock down

Text I sent my dog walking friend group

I guess no one is keen on the FaceTime lunch date idea. That’s fine. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror just now and I look remarkably like a dog that’s been rescued from a dog hoarding/ back yard breeding rescue. Might brush my hair tonight.

Everyone under my roof is fever/cough/ sore throat free so far. Evan reports that he and the girlfriend are fine as well.

I had a couple of panic attacks. The first one came when I did something to my dishwasher door. Thankfully it is still working. It just kind of falls open with no resistance now. I should probably go into the basement and make sure it’s not flooding. I’ll do that later. I’m doing a load right now. It’s extra annoying if it breaks because I gave Evan the dish rack I had in the basement.

I also almost fainted when I thought the microwave wasn’t working but I didn’t have my glasses on and was pressing the clear button instead of the 30 second button. Whew!

I do have some good news. I had a fantastic tomato last week (ugli kind) so I planted some of the seeds and they sprouted! I know I’m a few weeks late on that but I’m going to give it my best. It’s pretty much the most exciting thing I have to report.

I’m still afraid to go outside. I guess in this world I feel more vulnerable than I realized. I’m hoping Evan comes around today to walk my sweetest girl, who has been freakishly amazing considering the lack of exercise. If I need something new to worry about it will be that.

I feel like this has really shown me something about myself and that is I AM extra LAZY (not a surprise) when completely paralyzed with fear. I haven’t done any cleaning or made any art or anything even remotely productive.

I do feel a strong need to tell everyone I love how they mean to me though. But you guys know that. I’ve been reaching out to some friends that I don’t talk to regularly. And speaking more often to friends who I speak to sporadically. I’m very concerned about my friends who live in the city.

Anyways guys, I can’t wait until we can walk and stroll and breathe on each other again. This sucks.

I am hunkered down at home, working from home, and very seldom going out. If you want to video chat or text chat or something, I am here.
