17. Doing great as long as I don't have to leave the house.

Mon Apr 13, 2020, 12:20 PM

Apr 2020

I’m a homebody by nature, so this is a cakewalk for me. The hard part is not feeling like I can go out when I want to or have to go to the store for groceries. And going out is so anxiety producing that I avoid it. I have a must-go doctor’s appointment and bloodwork next week, and I’m already losing sleep over it.

Hubster has been working from home for the past month. I’m glad he’s here but, as the joke goes, check on your introverted friends with extroverted spouses. They are not okay.

My biggest complaint is how bad I need a haircut.

And I am royally pissed right along with you.
