Solitude in Currents

It’s been a crazy last few months. I’ve been working from home since Mid March since the Covid numbers in NY skyrocketed. I actually enjoy it because it’s so much less stressful. I don’t have to deal with rush hour, small talk and seeing my supervisor in person. It’s so much nicer to just be able to make my own coffee at home and cook my meals instead of carrying containers full of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I’m feeling anxious about going back to work but I have no idea when that will be. My company opened one branch upstate but it’s being done on a location basis. Even when it opens, only 50% of the office can be occupied. I’d much rather just stay home.

I don't even know if I've had Covid. I want to get the anti-body test but it's not accurate. My brother-in-law had a serious bout with it and he was in the hospital for three weeks. It really did seem grim but fortunately he got better. I had to stop looking at the news at the time because it was making me paranoid. Back in early March, it was thought that Covid only seriously affected the elderly and those with underlying health conditions neither of which my brother-in-law had.

For a few months, I barely saw anyone. My husband still went to work so he had people to talk to. I ended up talking to my sister a lot and creating a bubble with some friends. I usually spend April onward going to baseball games and then I don’t see some friends because they’re Fire Island people. However, they didn’t go for awhile so we ended up seeing them a lot. However once the numbers lowered, I haven’t seen much of them.

Things are starting to reopen here including the gym. I'm hesitant to go because I don't want to wear a face mask and wipe so many things I use clean before and after use. I splurged and got myself a squat rack and bumper plates which I've been using regularly. I just need to cut down on my THC usage because I end up eating everything. It's just difficult because I'm getting bored not being able to go anywhere. I went away last weekend to upstate NY and it was nice to get away. I would just like to go somewhere for a week but traveling now just isn't smart. Not to mention that a lot of states are NY's quarantine list. It just feels like there's nothing to mark time anymore.
