It's funny how we were looking forward to some benefits that comes with the easing of restrictions in phase one; such as small social interactions, gyms opening, heck, even buying bubble tea without having to additionally order specific foods (looking at all you boba brands). Yet, all we got were the Visiting Grandparents pass—which let's admit, how often did we before Circuit Breaker?—and the possibility to go back to the office under necessary conditions.
Challenging as it is. let us remember that we do this for our nation, for the essential workers risking their lives for us, and for the hope that we will one day complain about our waiter taking too long to get our food to the table again. As you bite down on the extended lockdown, find solace in the solidarity of our shared suffering.
I’m on day 27 of being useless in a pandemic.

I’m at the ‘just ordered headbands from an instagram ad while lying on my back in the middle of the floor’ stage of quarantine.

If your marriage is feeling some strain during the pandemic, have you tried not clearing your throat so much?

WE JUST HAVE TO BE VIGILANT ALRIGHT
Just saw a very sweet slice of quarantine life. Two young lovers in jogging gear in Springfield Park, clearly pretending to be doing their exercise for the day so they could steal a moment together. Not ashamed to say I had a slight catch in my throat as I called the police.
