There's an abundance of metaphors here. It's pouring with rain - we feel decidedly trapped indoors by the rain. But we're also voluntarily at home - taking our social distancing very seriously; wondering which site will prove best for the delivery of cat litter. It's a more than a little disorienting: I made one trip out to stock up on food, including some special cans for LucyFur from the vet. And, yes, I walked into what proved to be the acupuncture clinic next door; thought Oh! They've redesigned this! and asked for the cat food order. Errrrr, mistake.
Also: does anyone else look at ads on the TV (in between coronavirus coverage) and think that they represent some completely other fantasy universe? More so than usual, that is.
Also: Moth made her first appearance in an on-line class today - not mine ...
But we do realize how super-lucky we are, being able to work from home; having a house large enough that we can occupy different bits of it in which to do different things; having greenery outside in which to walk when it stops raining... Dinner parties via Zoom, anyone?
