Day 20 of being isolated at home with little outside contact. The GF is working from home in a spare bedroom. She was on a conference call this morning. An no, this isn't about me walking in without a shirt on after getting off the exercise bike. This is about what's for lunch.

I have an appointment to get a shot early this afternoon, so I was grabbing an early lunch. So I go in to her "office" to see if she wants me to get her anything. I got shooed out of the room (fully clothed) as she was on a conference call. So what's a guy to do? I'm really in a no-win situation. I can't wait because of my appointment. I take a chance and order something for her from Lu's Deli. I love Lu's. I figure if she doesn't want it, I'll eat hers later. I got something for her she's ordered before.

So I get back from Lu's, she off the call and I surprise her with lunch. I didn't know if I would get scolded because she didn't want anything or get thanked for getting her something. Or maybe I got the wrong thing. You just never know how a woman is going to react. I get nothing. No scolding. No thanks. Nothing. She eats it and goes back into the "office". Am I getting the silent treatment? I don't know. Maybe I did something wrong. Ordered the wrong thing or something. I'm not reading the code. Maybe I'll find out later.

Such is life, isolated at home with nowhere to go. Twenty days in and at least another month to go. I guess I'll go watch Tiger King again. I'm not going crazy. At least I keep telling myself that.
