You clean stuff?? Trust me when I say that your wife (at least) considers you her warrior. You are enabling her fantasticness.

Your son has your former space?? Okay, now he knows you love every inch of him.

Carry on.

Be brave, Ocean. Carry on.

And by the way, you're absolutely entitled to be happy. About this or anything else.

I am in my house in Brooklyn. It composes of three sectors.

My wife occupies the central zone by working 12 hours a day through phone and computer to keep her group going forward. I already had plenty of respect for her but listening in on many conference calls while lurking in the background has caused me to realize that I have been married to a samurai warrior all these years.

My son occupies the sector that used to be my shop. He had been in College but they shut down the dorms and he is doing his school work and lectures through the computer and scanning his hen scratchings filled with Math I cannot understand. I look forward to when the semester is over and I can use my shop again. I will also have a carpenters helper again. He knows I have evil plans even though I have said nothing about them.

In my sector, I hunt and gather, consume entirely too much news, and clean stuff. I listlessly pick at the remains of the job I was on before the lockdown. I have no idea if it will ever resume. I mostly keep things in motion so my clients don't fall into despair.

For me social distancing is

For me social distancing is the best thing to ever happen. People are constantly invading my personal space. I've learned to accept it but I don't like it. People are always too close to me in lines. Now they stand back and don't crowd me. I hate to touch strangers or even friendly acquaintances. But the men always want to shake my hand and usually hard enough to hurt. I'm not a weak person and can take a little pain, but why? I have a friend that likes to hug everyone. I hate it but I tolerate it. Now I don't have to. I live in a rural area so I can get out and walk and hike. When I occasionally meet people we can chat and stay for enough apart. I can meet with friends now and then which is enough for me.

I realize this is harder for some people and harder if you live in a high density area. I'm retired so I'm not missing work and getting the same amount of money each month as I did before. I'm not trying to down play the difficulties and suffering this is causing for most people but for me, it's great.

Ahhh ... that felt good. ;-)
