Big Bang Theory!

12/17/2020

Picture
The past day or two, I've been home sick.  As the saying goes, "Could be better...could be worse."  

Because of this, I haven't seen much more than my four walls since Tuesday afternoon.  Having had some chills that left me wanting to hunker down in bed, it didn't pay to get dressed yesterday.  Also, dressing would have taken energy (something that I don't currently have in abundance).  

This being said, my hair (bangs especially) was a bit wild.  That natural wave that I inherited from my mom's family, unchecked, goes a little crazy; I go through it each morning with a wet comb.

Last evening, my sister, mom, and lifelong friend had arranged a video call and invited me to join them.  Since I would not be attending our "Community Study/Recreation Night" for fear of "spreading the love" (my sickness), I was free to participate.  However, in my present circumstances, I was not eager to be on video.  At first, I just stayed in bed with the light off, but soon enough, was pressured to shed some light on the subject.  

Reluctantly, I put on my veil and flipped the light switch.  Not being terribly skilled at using the Tablet, and not feeing my best, I unknowingly gave the others a view of my wild hair (not my face).  

We got a good laugh out of it, though, when someone referred to this as the "big bang theory."  

A little humor and a nice visit (long overdue) were a good closing for a day spent alone.  

Times like this make me appreciate more the gift of friendship and human socialization  I pray that things change quickly and we can resume normal interactions without "social distancing," which is so contrary to normal, healthy, human behavior.
