I was encouraged to consider writing out my experience with the Spring 2020 situation of Coronavirus Disease 2019 and the SARS-Coronavirus-2. I don't have the energy to do this tonight, now that it's chasing 1am and the melatonin is taking hold, but I wanted to put in a placeholder for a couple of ideas I wanted to talk about in the next few posts.

1) The passage of time doesn't mean anything anymore.

2) I can work remotely, but work doesn't necessarily exist for me when everyone has to work remotely.

3) I can change my habits. I can grocery shop once a week and do a dry goods/oops-I-forgot stop once a week each.

4) I miss Guitar Center. I miss Chuck Levin's. I miss Bill's Music.

5) It took me Ten Christian Days to use 4 gallons of gas.

6) I'm trying to reach out to people I feel could use the extra connection. 6a) It's weird, being an off-scale high introvert, when those people don't immediately respond and dealing with the feeling that other people don't want to communicate when you do.

7) Music is my escape.

8) Panicking about other people's problems gets your friends nowhere.

9) I've never been worried about my seasonal allergy symptoms before. That all changed this year.

10) I'm going to be fine. If I end up unwell, it isn't because of a universal vendetta against me. If I end up unwell, it isn't my fault.
