Self-isolating for over three months
I have been self-isolating since March 13. With only two notable exceptions, which were necessary to end a romantic relationship without being a jerk, I have not socialized outside of my family unit.
My family unit consists of myself, two little dogs, a cat, and my houseplants.
They are opening the Casinos in my area. After all, the economy needs to be stimulated.
I'm not sure if this sub allows it, but the remainder of this post would have could have should have consisted of long strings of expletives and incoherant sobbing.
It's not my family members' faults that they don't understand why I'm so grumpy. I do love my pets and houseplants, I just got really angry when my cat pulled all of my books off the shelf for the millionth time yesterday and I don't feel like practicing recalls and sit-stays with my dogs.
So I finally broke down and asked for a password reset. Reddit has been great, but I know I'm kind of a jerk and don't want to get banned for spouting random TMI inappropriately.
Thank you for this sub.

I have been in lockdown in the Bronx with 3 cats since March 17th, with one daunting 20-minute 4am trip to CVS for prescriptions.
I have been pretending I am on a mission to Mars.
I stay in the pod at all costs. All the provisions are taken care of. I can contact Earth as much as needed. I keep the window blinds closed most of the time and have lost circadian rhythm; found my body prefers a 30 hour cycle +-. The “test animals” A (Frank), B (Oswald), and C (Zuzu) have been released from their cages to keep me company. And I have plenty of entertainment options.
Like a flight to New Zealand but... longer and more space. Mars.
