So I've been pretty good about staying quarantined at home. I have kept myself busy, and have tried to keep a good attitude. But to be honest, I haven't gotten out much in the last six weeks since I retired, and I think it's starting to show. Then something happened a few minutes ago that cracked me right up:
I was catching up on recorded TV shows, and I found an episode of Survivor I hadn't seen. I record it each week so I can skip through the commercials, and somehow I'd missed watching it from last week. I'm good at staying up to date with shows I like, and this surprised me. But, oh well. I knew this week's episode was going to record this evening, so I watched the one I found. I felt very smug, and wanted to be ready for tonight. It was exciting to think I'd see new episodes two nights in a row.
And then I happened to glance at the calendar, and I realized today is Thursday, not Wednesday. The Survivor I watched this morning was from last night, not last week. Doh! I'd actually forgotten what day of the week it was. After I laughed at my own embarrassment, I wondered if this has happened to anyone else? I've seen the quarantine joke about renaming the days of the week to Thisday, Thatday, and so forth, but I never thought it would happen to me.
Has anything "real world" and silly happened to you in quarantine? Have you lost track of time or days of the week? Forgot how to drive your car? Forgot what your boss or neighbors look like? Let's hear it!
