What’s on my mind? The COVID Blues.
First came the spending: “Another package from Wayfair? What now, Nicole?” “Stuff …” “What stuff?” “Stuff-stuff!”
And the snacking: “What are you eating, Nicole?” “Muffink!” (Munch, munch, munch)
And the boredom: “Another computer game? You’ve been on that thing for two hours!” “Three … So what?”
And the sloth: “Let’s play Scrabble, Nicole!” “I’m tired! Leave me alone!”
And the crabbiness: C’mon, Nicole … We need to get out for a walk!” “I don’ wanna walk! I don’ wanna!”
This virus can’t end soon enough. Cross my heart and hope not to die.
