This whole shelter-in-place thing is so weird for me. Most people I think, feel like the world is ending, they've never seen anything like it, etc. I do understand, and empathize - things are really serious, and I fully realize that.
The odd thing for me though, is that this situation feels exactly like when I decide to stop drinking/going to bars. Like, if I weren't paying attention to the news, literally the only thing that would be different was the fact that there's no toilet paper anywhere.
Aside from that, my life is pretty much exactly the same. I'm still going to work, where I see one other person (as per usual in my little departmental office), I still shop for groceries at odd times so the lack of crowd isn't obvious. I come home and either surf online then watch 'tv' for a bit, or head out to the garage for a workout. I still cook meals for the week on Sundays, I occasionally play guitar or read a book, and I chat with a friend online most nights.
It's a bit unsettling, realizing that essentially, there's no recognizable difference between worldwide quarantine/social distancing, and my life.
...
Part of me feels like that's really discouraging, but then I realize, I've been happier during the past couplefew weeks than I have been for the several months preceding them. It really makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me.
