One of my favorite games is to watch people who are out of earshot and try to identify what kind of conversation they’re having, based on their expressions. This can get me in trouble with whomever I’m dining with, but it’s hugely useful in writing. These days, when I go out, people’s faces are half-covered by masks. I miss people-watching. So now I’m trying to decide what my dogs are thinking…. maybe I’ll write a dog book next. Or maybe not.
Treating yourself in Quarantine
I will admit, this isn’t the healthiest diet, but this quarantine thing has really turned me upside down. A weird thing for someone who normally spends most days alone in the basement (by choice). But, forced isolation from friends and forced togetherness with family… well, that’s a whole different thing.
The new world we live in....
We got out of town, leaving behind the cold temps for a week in warm Arizona. It’s a heavenly migration we do every year… only this year is a little different. COVID-19 has just arrived and we’re going to the store only when it’s necessary, wearing a mask and having dinners delivered by Uber Eats instead of going out. It isn’t that we hoped for… but we’re happy.
And the bad jokes are already starting. What goes with Corona? Nachos! Be safe and be well!
