Quiet
These are getting harder and harder to write. What is there to say? A friend texted me a meme today that said, "Nothing happened. And then I was tired." That about sums it. I told my neighbor about my husband’s test results. She said, “Well, that’s bad news, because now you can still get it!” I said, “Wow. Thanks!” Then I got in my car and went to Target, Trader Joes, four liquor stores and a Walgreens. Kidding. My husband was working from home in the bedroom for a while, but now he has moved to the dining room table. It’s been ok. We all have headphones. And if he’s not on a call, I can sit across from him and read or crochet, or bang on my laptop too. It’s kind of nice—this quiet togetherness. We went for a walk today: a one-mile loop around the neighborhood. It was the most steps he’s taken in three weeks. We might start going around twice, if the sun ever comes out.
