This social distancing thing hasn’t affected me as much as
most people. My job has sort of evaporated, but it was small potatoes to begin with.
Its loss won’t threaten the roof over my head. I was never a social butterfly,
so staying at home and cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, sewing, watching old
movies, walking the dogs, puttering in the garden, and practicing the piano was
already how I spent most of my days. I have RA, so if I was under a lot of
stress, there are plenty of ways for my body to let me know. But I worry a lot
about others who aren’t as well situated. And there are things I’ll never take
for granted again: going to a restaurant or the cinema, playing the organ in
church, attending a quilt class, visiting the library, walking in the mall,
Sunday dinner with my family, seeing a play or a concert, and playing with my
grandkids.
