Jesus Christ!

We're in the middle of a pandemic and the building is full of people stuck in their units and some shit is doing renovations and making hammering and drilling noises.

What kind of subhuman self-centered selfish asshole does something like that to their neighbours?

What a prick!

While there are times when I'm worried or frustrated overall, as an introvert, I'm quite content at home.

Then there are days like today when looking ahead I know I don't have to go out or see anyone or deal with anything for days on end and I feel so so happy and content.

So, aside from usual clunks from my neighbours and people in other units banging their damn doors shut now there are people down in the drive under my windows playing bloody frisbee.

It wouldn't be a problem but they keep dropping it and I can hear that throughout my unit, and it's warm enough that I really need to have windows open.  

(Once the AC is turned on for the season I will run it non-stop until it is switched off in the fall and never have the windows open.)

Two of them are middle-aged men with gray hair tied up in ponytails.  I hate men in ponytails at any age but in middle age or older it is just ridiculous.

I fucking hate human beings.

I'm a terrible person I guess but people have been calling me and I should be grateful for friends but I really don't feel like talking talking talking.

I like email and OCCASIONAL texts where it doesn't take up too much time.  I'm busy and don't have enough hours in the day for reading and podcasts and chores let alone Netflix.

I'm all too good at isolating myself.

Time goes on.  "They" say that the curve is flattening and some things are being allowed to open up, a bit, but when I see the daily statistics I can't help but feel that it's too soon and we should wait a little longer.

I understand how bad this is for businesses, especially small ones, but having the case load rise again is worse.  However, that is not up to me to decide, all I can do is try to isolate myself as much as possible.  I wear a mask whenever I go out now but I would like to find someplace where I can buy more.  I prefer a medical type mask to a cloth one since I don't think the cloth ones really do all that much good, although I grant that they're better than none at all.

I finally subscribed to Netflix last week so I have no shortage of video material.  I am a bit worried that I'm going to be doing little or no reading but I hope that is a short term thing.

Mentally I'm fine.  I'm introverted and while I enjoy having online contact with people I'm not bothered by not seeing them in person.

I've had one doctor's appointment turned into a phone consultation and another one postponed until August and I'm glad since they both would have involved going the doctor's office in a hospital.
