Cabin fever, ahoy . . .
I am grateful that this current brouhaha
and the ensuing quarantine has happened
during the cold of Winter months. At
least, it makes it easier to stay home.
Still, as the warmer weather is creeping
in and our Spring snows are diminishing,
I begin to feel the itch, along with every
one else. In our dotage, we've enjoyed
eating out a couple of times a month.
Grocery shopping takes us out, as well
as the odd errand popping up. So, how
does one reintegrate into societal
interactions?
I imagine the dive back into life as we
knew it, won't be quite so quick and dirty.
We're as tenebrous as a child taking those
first steps. We ask ourselves, "Is it really
safe to go out? Do I still need to protect
myself? What if . . . ? What if . . . ?"
I also imagine that in due time, it will be
quite easy to revert to old habits. Now,
I wouldn't say we need to reinvent those
pesky New Year's Resolutions, but 'tis
time to be somewhat forethoughtful.
Whilst we're still in time-out, as it were,
we can think ahead about how to safely
proceed.
For me, it always boils down to, "Who do
I want to be when I grow up?" Thank the
gods there are always morrows, as upon
rescinding my good intentions, I always
promise to be good the following day!
Here's wishing us all good luck in our
reinventions of self!
can we go out now
daddy daddy im so scared
promise to be good
