I staying at home more than I like because I have fallen 7 times in the last year and hit my head each time. The last one was about a month ago, and my friend and neighbor here is a nurse and she has nixed me from driving for a while. I am going bonkers- not because of the head injury but because I am staying in my apartment all the time. Then add the Pandemic, and it is an insult to my already damaged happiness.
Watching TV is a practice in endurance since I am watching old shows that I watched when they were popular or not even popular years ago. Roku is not helping much, either, since they have not introduced many new shows.
I read when I go to bed and I have to fight myself to stay in front of the TV until all the news stations have aired. I have one or two new books, that neighbors here have given me, but I also had to buy another bookcase (third one) to hold all of my new books.
I tried to take some books up to the apartment library the other day, and their shelves are full. Obviously my neighbors are readers, too. Unfortunately, we seem to like the same books, and I have read most of what they have placed there.
I have finally decided I will have to use some of my limited income to buy some mystery books from an old site I once used. Of course, the books that were so cheap then, are not so cheap now - but I am not spending any money on other pleasures now. So I will blow my entertainment budget on books.
Sorry for whining; I know everyone is having to "deal" with this situation and some are even ill. So far my close friends and neighbors are staying well, and we have all had our Covid 19 shots. Maybe the joy to move freely will soon be our right again. I miss my recent life. Stay well.
