Pizza for One

[mishalak]

In a physical sense I was super prepared to be made to stay home instead of going out for food. I already preferred my own cooking to going out much of the time and only skipped when I wanted to do something social. Now there is almost always time to cook and when there is not I have a freezer full of good soup and stews ready to be thawed.

On the social side I am as ill prepared to be totally alone as crow or some other famously gregarious animal. I would always go off and do my own thing for a while, but I need getting together with people. Video chats fall somewhat short of actually making me feel much better. My social skills and ability always kept me on abstemious monk's diet of being social, but now it is like I'm locked out of the kitchen with only the memory of smells to satisfy my hunger.

It is very simple to live alone until you're required to be alone almost all the time.

I'm finding the zoom meetings very useful a I get to see people in Reading and Oxford each week I'd normally only see each quarter. My local conservation sessions have stopped, but they are more acquaintances. I do miss display gardens and museums though
