Since he is a freelance editor, he can?t afford to get sick and miss work or he won?t get paid. I?ve been practicing social distancing as much as possible because if I can limit my exposure that will help him.
Being home alone for an extended period of time is nothing new and to be honest, I enjoy my alone time, at least right now. Online shopping has been my friend. I?ve been watching Twighlight movies on repeat. I just finished reading You Are Not Alone and next on my list is American Royals.
