By Anne T. Donahue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now wrapping up our fifth week of quarantine and it\u2019s safe to say that our mindsets have shifted permanently and we\u2019re no longer the people we used to be. I think of the February and early March versions of myself and miss the naivety of thinking that \u201cquarantine\u201d meant \u201changing out at best friends\u2019 houses, I bet\u201d (thank goodness that never happened) and that \u201chow bad can it be?\u201d was my code for \u201cI\u2019m envisioning myself doing nothing but eating snacks for two weeks like some extended March break.\u201d The denial was powerful and it was necessary. Especially since knowing the scope of what was coming would likely have led to me shutting down on day one and crying until I opened my computer to type today.<\/p>\n

The last little while has been so hard, and the foreseeable future will likely prove harder. Outside of the sheer magnitude of what\u2019s happening (on all fronts) is the realization that this year may be defined very much by spending time alone or with only your immediate household. And that\u2019s the best case scenario. If you and I are lucky (so incredibly, beautifully lucky) our biggest complaint will be that we miss our pals and want to go out to socialize. Which is a heavy realization unto itself: at our most fortunate, we will still feel very, very sad. So allow me to try and alleviate it for maybe 30 seconds. And celebrate the questions we currently don\u2019t have to worry about asking because frankly, who needs to worry about what we do not need to?<\/p>\n

\u201cIs so-and-so mad at me?\u201d<\/strong>
\nImagine anyone being mad at you right now. Imagine that amidst what we\u2019re going through, a person has decided to be mad<\/em> about something stupid, I bet<\/em>. Imagine you<\/em> being mad<\/em> at a friend right now. Imagine a friend being mad at you<\/em>. For no real reason! Don\u2019t they look foolish? Isn\u2019t it weird that they\u2019re picking a fight about something like a Zoom call or missed Facetime? Isn\u2019t it bananas that you\u2019re salty about a missed text? Imagine prioritizing nonsense? Not today! Or tomorrow! Or for a long time, probably!<\/p>\n

Which, of course, isn\u2019t to say you\u2019re not allowed to feel angry. I\u2019m angry whenever I see people obviously not respecting the rules of quarantine. I\u2019m annoyed whenever I hear some garbage argument about something ridiculous. But a person you know and love? Unless they\u2019re spewing hateful rhetoric, I assume only that, like me, they\u2019re spiraling a little bit. Some of us just spiral differently, so for heaven\u2019s sake: know that so-and-so isn\u2019t mad at you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat am I going to wear today?\u201d<\/strong>
\nWhat a great question that can absolutely go to hell for a while. Last night, I went to bed telling myself I would step out of my jogging pants and into a pair of jeans and some reasonably work-appropriate top. And then this morning I woke up and thought, \u201cOh, I would absolutely rather perish\u201d and am wearing jogging pants I wore yesterday and a sweatshirt I wore the day before. The good news? They match! The bad? There is no bad news. I am very comfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the cat\/dog?\u201d<\/strong>
\nWhen I come home and can\u2019t find my cat right away, I panic just a little and prepare myself to learn that he\u2019s run away or chosen to die until I find him under the blankets in my room (where he will look up at me in a quiet rage that assures me that he will one day be responsible for my death). But now? Now, I know where he is constantly. Our pets are exactly where you left them all the time, unless they\u2019ve somehow evolved into having opposable thumbs and have stolen our car keys and have left the house hours ago. \u201cWhere\u2019s the baby?\u201d is one of my favorite questions to ask my cat, usually when he\u2019s right next to me because he has nothing else to do and wants me desperately to leave. I\u2019m about to ask it now, even. Because he still doesn\u2019t have any thumbs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should I watch tonight?\u201d<\/strong>
\nI will make this easy for you: Vanderpump Rules<\/em>. I\u2019m on season six, I can\u2019t believe these people are all older than me and still acting this way, and I do not want a single one of them to change because they\u2019re my children now. Also: it\u2019s a surprisingly effective balm on my sad brain, which cannot handle any more true crime or crime dramas or anything even remotely upsetting.<\/p>\n

Not that Jax Taylor isn\u2019t upsetting, but he\u2019s upsetting in a different way.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould I eat that?\u201d<\/strong>
\nI understand that there\u2019s been an emphasis on \u201chealthy eating\u201d or \u201cclean eating\u201d or \u201cnot eating two chocolate chip cookies with a Diet Pepsi for breakfast, Anne,\u201d but to that I say: no. Guess what! We\u2019re in quarantine. Our lives are currently very small. Our sources of joy? Limited. And while we should always have been eating what makes us happy, many extenuating circumstances have prevented us from doing as such. So, let\u2019s be perfectly clear: when you wonder if that thing you want to eat for breakfast\/lunch\/dinner\/snack is appropriate or \u201cokay,\u201d you tell that voice to absolutely go fuck itself because bread dipped in melted butter and cinnamon\/sugar is a delicacy for any meal, but especially \u201cin between other meals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat day is it?\u201d<\/strong>
\nThere are no days. Only Zulu.<\/p>\n

Donahue"},"description":"ANNE T. DONAHUE is the author of Nobody Cares: Essays and a writer who spends too much time romanticizing the nineties. She lives in Cambridge, Ontario where her favourite pastime is trying to befriend the neighbourhood cats and asking her own if he's a baby. (He is.) On top of this, she also writes for outlets such as the Globe & Mail, CBC, and whoever asks nicely.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/annetdonahue\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/annetdonahue"],"url":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/author\/anne-t-donahue\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/67426"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digiblocks.ca\/29secrets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
