Abstract

I've been in quarantine for an eternity. It's been since March 9, but this year March had 634 days. There's a meme going around that asks, "Where should I visit next? Isla de living room? Casa Kitchen? Bedroom Bodega?" In an apartment with five rooms I'm feeling pretty limited. Of course, I know it could be worse. I only have a husband to deal with. He's still sort of working, so he amuses himself with loud phone calls filled with business euphemisms - "We'll run it up the flagpole, and see if we need to circle back" - and frequent trips to the kitchen to forage for snacks.
