Homebound

Three weeks later we are settling into our new reality. Homebound (maybe that’s what the new Spider-man movie should be titled) with husband and dog. We are certainly doing our share of Netflix, HBO, and what have you. I’ve also discovered a few London theatres sharing free streaming shows. Thank you.

Like Spidey, I put on my own mask when I’m heading out. Thanks to Governor Newsom my SFSPCA group are considered “essential”, so I do pop out a few days a week making sure furry friends in the two hospitals have their meds. Still there is more time at home, sheltering with family hoping the city can continue to flatten the curve. It seems to be working.

The day in and day out of isolation can be daunting. I try to remain busy. This past weekend I added 5 books to my e collection and I’m going to start reading one of them this week. I’m currently halfway through a couple of books and I want to add a third to the lineup. It doesn’t bother me to have 3 going at once…books I mean.

We continue to have a theater night with the previously mentioned streaming but will also download the occasional movie. At home, we’ve got a 70 inch monitor to watch entertainment and while it can never take the place of sitting in an old west end theatre, it will have to do for now.

I miss so many things about the outside world but I’m also driven to keep my partner safe. It will all be there later in some form or another and we will be back better than ever, in the sequel and there will be an election in the fall. Man do I hope we get that right this time.
