I feel good. I haven't conquered anything big yet, but I have a different surge than usual. I am totally on board with staying out of the public unless absolutely necessary. And knowing that I don't have to go back to work anytime in the near future is oddly freeing. I can do whatever I want.
Have I wasted a lot of moments? Yes, but I don't care. I have been productive. I'm typing away at my current book. I cleaned some stuff. I am currently rewatching all of the Stranger Things episodes. I'm very okay with all those things.
People are weird, though. Some 21-year-old drive-by shot at a HyVee yesterday. I don't know what to think about that. A lady at Trader Joe's was pissed about the store running out of some meat she was trying to buy, so she got mad and threw a pound of bacon at the girl who was working there. Strange. A woman at HyVee was really pissed about not finding the beans she wanted, and she yelled out, "This really chaps my ass", (which I thought was kind of funny, actually).
I'm not going to hoard, but I will do my part to stay away from others.
Do I know someone who has this virus? Yes. Have I been in immediate contact with him in the past 14 days? No. Was he in at least a dozen places either me or my family has been? Probably. You just have to hedge your bets at this point, and hope you've escaped any imminent danger.
In the mean time, I'll just play that guitar over there and forget about the world outside again today.
