Is the quarantine getting you down? I found a way around it, you really have to dislike the quarantine though. Friday, probably at least through the weekend, I’ll be at the hospital. I’m having brain surgery Friday morning. Julie will be there too, at least for 24 hrs after the surgery. After that I don’t know? A plea is being made for her to stay longer. Her staying longer really does benefit all the parties involved. She understands me best and would be there for more consistent monitoring. If she wore a mask and stayed with me she wouldn’t be introducing anything new to the environment. But we also understand the need to draw some hard lines in hard times. In this unprecedented situation, it might make the most sense to stick to the hardline. If that’s the case then we will deal with that too. That’s what we do, we deal with things. If no other choice exists then there is no one to argue with. Disagreement will just lead to further upset and detachment. Since we’re all in this together (we are, we have no choice) we don’t benefit from furthering upset and detachment. The decision I would make personally doesn’t necessarily factor into the bigger picture at the moment. Just in case Julie has to leave, I got a new phone. My current device can be a bit wonky with reception sometimes. That’s a hardship I might endure, but Julie, rightfully, pointed out that if she has to leave and my phone doesn’t work well, that’s a rough double whammy. While I have no doubt it’s a hardship we could endure (we’ve endured many) it’s not a necessary one, all things considered. The new phone should come today, April 1st, 2020, so hopefully we can make it work before I go in for surgery.
