In which Our Hero exhibits snail-like tendencies.
No, I did not leave the house today. No, I did not leave the living room today. Yes, I had a good day.
Ah, yes, I correct myself: I went from the bedroom into the living room into the exercise room into the bathroom and into the kitchen, in a series of loops co-overlapping and co-insiding.
How did I have a good day like this, you may ask?
Well.
Everything I need is here.
I’m a bit of a homebody. That’s why I chose to live in one of the highest rent areas of the world.
(That’s a joke.)
I’m not a homebody. I like warm weather, however. And outside is particularly cold.
I don’t like warm weather just for its warmth. I like it for its sociality. Warm weather → people outside. Bopping around, conversing this and that.
I had a good day because I got some stuff done and I had tasty food and I got exercise and my apartment gets good sun and I socialized with friends (through a screen) and I went outside and did sufficient in-person socializing yesterday and have plenty of plans for tomorrow and the weekend.
I’ve set up my life to enable having lots of good things that I like.
So what if some days I am a hermit.
(Two days out of the last week? Yeah. Two days out of the last week.)
