Well, the day's kind of long, as I hunker down with my cats.  My boyfriend is working in another town right now, and I don't see him as much as I want to.  And now, unfortunately, it might be safer for both of us, and our extended circle, if we keep away from each other, until...until what?...until something positive occurs and we get the green light to move back into society.

So, I call Him on the phone, and keep my phone on speaker.  He is renovating a house, and he keeps his phone in his back pocket.  I feel so grateful that he'll do that for me.  So I move around my home, painting, eating, musing, etc and I listen to him work.  Crunch, crinkle, the sound of a saw blade, and I hear him mumbling to himself.

Every now and then I shout, "You still there?"  "Yes, baby," he says.  "Hang on babe," he says.

Yesterday, we were on the phone saying almost nothing for hours.  Today, is looking to go the same way.  Again, I feel so lucky.

I hope everybody has someone to hang on to.

And, if not, feel free to call/email/text me.  I'm here.
