Has anyone else had at least one completely batshit crazy moment during this bizarre time?
I had one today.
I shouted at someone like a madwoman from behind my security gate, which I was too angry to even open.

There is a random (youngish) guy in our suburb that walks past our house every day, promptly at 5pm, and has continued to do so for the last eleventy billion days of lockdown.
He doesn't even walk at speed, he kind of strolls, holding a water bottle.

I have seen him on numerous occasions. Every time I have seen him, he was either too far away or I realised too late as I was driving past him.
But every time I see him, I think, you fucking asshole.

Today, I arrived home from the office, where I have been for the duration of this entire shitshow, honestly not ungrateful to be able to leave the house.
I have dragged my poor, long-suffering husband out onto the road at 6am in the mornings to go for a walk

We have run around our property, we have followed the rules.
We have walked with masks and I have sanitised my hands until the skin is literally peeling.
And here is this fucker, walking merrily, like there is not a thing wrong in the world

He isn't on his way anywhere, he is literally just out for a casual stroll, our house just happens to be on his route.
And I completely lost my mind today when I spotted him. I must have looked demented, yanking open a sliding door and shouting at him.

The unfairness of one person just literally giving zero fucks came crashing down on me, I'm so sick of all of it.
But, mostly, I am sick of people just deciding which rules apply to them and ignoring the rest

Rant over. I think. I just had to get it off my chest.
It was like I was having an outer body experience, that sliding door was yanked open before my brain had chance to register what my hands and my mouth was doing

My poor husband, he cringed so hard, the kids were so shocked (almost a shocked as I was), my teenage son immediately jumped up and asked if I wanted a glass of wine.
I did
It has been a long few weeks. Tomorrow will be better.
