Coping not so well, some days have considered taking unpaid leave to just go to be with him since I can’t work there. I think it’s the thought that I don’t know when we can see each other next that really gets me down. We chat on FT everyday, play words with friends, play PS online every now and then, did our first virtual date the other day, he gets me involved when his housemates are doing quizzes with others virtually. We also talk about what vacation we’re going to do when this is over. I’ve suggested other virtual things like workouts together but timezone issues are hard and he gets overwhelmed at all this tech stuff too so need to balance giving him space sometimes as well.

Am I being dumb here - just purchased a fridge from Lowes, delivery next week.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
