Day + 22: Isolation

Other than the fatigue that sets in after doing anything remotely strenuous, the main issue for me at this point is depression related being stuck in the apartment. Doctor's orders are to avoid crowds and sick people for at least 3 months, and to avoid people altogether without a mask. Of course, this rules out a ton of places, especially on the weekends. For my walks, I will drive to a residential area in my town where there isn't too many people or traffic. On weekdays, I will occasionally go to a store as people are at work and things are pretty slow.

Of course, I could do a bit more, such as walk around or sit in a Starbucks with a mask on, but I really really hate the mask. Although I have gotten comfortable wearing the mask, I don't feel comfortable wearing it in public, for I feel like some sickly person that people want to avoid. I don't like the looks that people give me when I am wearing it. Many just clear the way when I am walking through. It's so depressing.

So, during the first two months, I am trying to enjoy my solitude until I body is built up enough to take off the mask, which I feel I will do at the end of October.

Time to put in another movie.
