I have been looking out the window and wondering what life on the other side of that pane of glass will look like as governors announce their plans to lift COVID-19-induced shelter-in-place orders. I don’t know when it will really be safe to go outside again, or when life will start feeling closer to the way it was before we began social and physical distancing, but I’m planning my future life or, more accurately, I’m mentally sorting through what I need to add back to my life when I can live on either side of my window pane, and which changes I shouldn’t reverse.

Hovering between life and death and malnourishment, wondering if physics and chemistry could allow some wiggle room if you decided in the middle that you didn't want to fall anymore.

I wanted to write us the greatest love story of all time. But I am not great.
Carbs. Carbs are good. Carbs will give you energy. Dairy is nutrition for baby cows. And you are not a baby cow.
Cover the keypad. First paycheck. Watch the mirror.
Every so often the lights flicker out.
