[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, I look at this cover and see .. me! The Amazon boxes unopened, t trying to be calm in the center of a chaotic mess, and yes I’m polished with makeup and a sophisticated bun for my virtual meetings from the waist up, but what lies beneath is anyone’s guess of possibility. Looks like today it was gym shorts and faux fur slippers day, maybe because I had the Martini too soon? but I have the wine bottles on the fridge to pair with dinner so I’m not an alcoholic since they are uncorked. Clearly a tough day, I’m also looking at someone’s stupidity online while scrolling through dcum on my phone and lurking in the çats are better than dogs thread. Only issue is I wouldn’t drink whatever is in the martini glass with a bottle of prescription.

I agree- I can totally relate the the cover and I'm an empty nester 56 y.o. working from home with my dogs and DH who also works from home (thank goodness we have a basement)... I get Amazon boxes regularly, I don't have the house cleaned and it does get messy (I eventually clean), I drink a bit more than I used to, I do video calls regularly and make sure I have a decent shirt on and face/hair is reasonable but the bottom half could be pajamas. I totally relate to the image and it sums up a lot of the last 8 months for me.  [/quote]
