odd but true

the world keeps on spinning........i'm right here.  my son just commented on how i am talking about incredibly dull stuff at present........ya think?  being on lockdown means that minutae takes on added importance.........i was telling him about bendy silicone straws and that my relatively new vaccuum quit working........it was fine on Monday and other ground baking scintillating topics.........but jeez a lou.........i'm in my house 24/7 without any other ears to listen or faces to talk to or voices to speak back to me.  phone calls/emails only go so far.........this is a human separation that makes it tough. and this is coming from a woman who has led a life filled with health challenges due to a compromised autoimmune system.  One who has spent weeks and weeks alone these past many years.........my little life before covid included community activities as I was able and now that they are all cancelled I feel that my yard is an island....but sadly there is no sand, no hot tub, no pool........no cabana boy.........no drinks in coconuts with cute little umbrellas.........oh well.  a dry island........in a land where it rains all the time.  odd but true.
