And Then Summer Began

Things are starting to open up here in Michigan.  Friends are starting to talk about going on vacation to northern towns in the coming months.  I do not have any such plans.  My close friends are couples.  That worked out fine when I was with Billy but now I am alone.  I feel like what the Psychic said is not true.  It is more like a metaphor what my life is become.

My conversation with the girl faded out.  No truths were reviled.  No reasons were given.  I think the Gymnast is back in town but she is being strangely silent.  The government is giving the poorest $900 a week.  Few girls are looking to make extra money.  If they are it is because they are in dire need like an addiction problem. 

I am not looking forward to things going back to this semi open state.  I went to the office yesterday for a few hours.  I wore a mask and carried sanitary wipes the entire time. I avoided touching communal areas. I met with customers at a distance.  They all wore masks.  The entire experience gives me a false anxiety.  I stopped caring about the virus weeks ago.  I have stopped caring about a lot of things.

I just wanna stay in the sun where I find
I know it's hard sometimes
Pieces of peace in the sun's peace of mind
I know it's hard sometimes
Yeah, I think about the end just way too much
But it's fun to fantasize
All my enemies who wouldn't wish who I was
But it's fun to fantasize
Oh, ohI'm falling so I'm taking my time on my ride...Ride, 21 Pilots

  1. I've had a lot of depression and anxiety lately and none of it had to do with the virus. Things have to get better for all of us...I hope.

    1. Mary read a quote today I am going to post it. Things will get better as we get used to the new normal.

  2. I deal with customers in masks all the time, occasionally, when their conversation is boring, I try to imagine what they look like without their masks.

    I have no problem going on vacation by myself. I went to France by myself and people asked if it was weird. I told them it was fun, I didn't have to do something I didn't want to do.

    1. When Billy and I were together vacations I don't remember it feeling like we were doing something I didn't want to do.
