Dear Diary 鈥

Today marks 8 full months since I was in the office. I think it鈥檚 taking its toll.

We had a conference call last week, and I had the feeling people were judging my Zoom room. It may have been the teacup collection on the pool table, or the old Pinocchio marionette hanging from the ceiling 鈥 but it鈥檚 not right.

Then there are times when I just stare at the computer after work鈥檚 over. And I wonder 鈥 does EVERYONE gets those ads for the giant Dog Face T-shirts or am I the only one? What could I possibly have clicked on?

I鈥檒l be going on vacation this week. Can鈥檛 travel of course. Instead, I plan to visit the kids鈥 old bedrooms. See if any of 鈥檈m snuck back home.

My isolation beard has now reached six inches. My co-workers say it鈥檚 great, but I think they鈥檙e secretly relieved we鈥檙e not in the studio together.

They can think what they like. Bottom line 鈥 you don鈥檛 need a bib. And you don鈥檛 need to order dessert.

Under 鈥淭hings I have Learned鈥:

鈥 Agree on the Scrabble rules ahead of time unless you want to sleep alone.

鈥 It鈥檚 possible that no one noticed you wore the same shirt all week.

鈥 A mask always remembers what you ate yesterday.

And finally 鈥 things to remember should you ever drive again: The wiper lever is on the left, the signal lever is on the right 鈥 that鈥檚 why people were honking yesterday.
