I’ve heard this ad on the radio over and over this week for the movie Land. “One woman travels to the wilderness and dares to imagine a new life.” Don’t we just imagine things? Where does daring come into it?
I’ve been in quarantine for 10 days. This is what I’m imagining. In four days I won’t be in quarantine anymore. I can go to the grocery store for the first time. I have never stepped foot in the grocery store, and I don’t know what it looks like or what they have. It will be an exciting day for me. I’m going to the post office, and I’m going to get a post office box. On Wednesday, I am expecting my farm box to arrive. Also I ordered a humidifier which should come on Wednesday. And I get to go to the clinic and have another Covid test.
The only thing I’ve been able to do is go on my runs. Today when I ran I saw absolutely no one except Yeti. I have not looked at another person today. I haven’t seen anybody walking. I haven’t waved to anybody. There’s no loneliness like mine.
I’m thinking of trying to capture a dog. I see the dogs on the street by themselves. They would probably like to spend some time with me. Nobody would think that I stole a dog. I’m not sure anyone knows I’m here.
I’d like to say that my writing is going well, but now I’m mad at one of my characters. She’s turned into a bitch. I not taking it personally. I guess it’s part of the fun.
