29 August 2020: I am behind on This American Life podcasts, but maybe it worked out well to have listened to this episode (from mid-July) today. The prologue and Act I particularly put into words things I have struggled to articulate myself: not being touched for months, being worried about getting sick while living alone...even feeling anxiety about being labeled just by co-morbidities if the worst happened.
A new phase of this pandemic is a whole new kind of strange. This week, I've been around students and other folks all day (at least on M, T, W, and F). But it's still different and hard. And I still come home and look at lonely nights and weekends in front of me. And we've got so far to go before normal comes back.
