A couple times a week, Christie sends me a selfie. Not what you think: the look is reminiscent of the workers who go in to clean up chemical spills or nuclear disasters. I get it. In this day and age, it’s more necessary than ever. Nursing is never a safe line of work. Lately, it’s even less so.
Early on, when there were even more question marks than there are today, she decided to self-quarantine and try to help spare me the possibility of contagion. We set her up in my workshop in the garage, where there's heat and a small bathroom. I left her meals outside the door and gathered up her clothes for washing every other day. It was like she was on an extended business trip. It was lonely as hell, is what it was.
So far, neither of us has had a positive test, but the threat is always looming. She eventually moved back into the house at my urging. Each day, I get the run-down. I know, confidentiality and all that, but I think without someone to vent to, she’d have broken down a long time ago.
I think she’s gotten in even better physical condition during all this than she had been before it started, and all in the name of stress-relief. I keep telling her I know another way we could beat stress, one that would be a lot more fun for us both, but such suggestions receive a smile, but never get any farther.
Our sex life has always been a good one, but like the majority of them, it could always be better, at least in my estimation. Now that the world has been blown apart by a microscopic invader, that sex life has become more sporadic. Most nights, she comes home too wiped out for much more than dinner, a little TV and maybe a short workout, then bed.
My job was deemed Critical Infrastructure early on, and so I’ve seen no loss of employment, unlike so many other people right now. The only difference is that, like many, my typical work day is virtual instead of in-person. It took a little while for me to get into the swing of working from home, but now it’s second nature. It feels a little weird some days that getting ready for work consists of throwing on a pair of underwear and a T-shirt and going across the hall, but it’s feeling almost normal anymore (yes, I dress better if I have to take a video call with someone – and yes, I wear pants).
One day, I got an idea. After my work day wound up, I went to my home PC and did some research. I did this for a few days before attempting my idea. When I was ready, I waited at the door for Christie to arrive home from her work. Eventually, the doorknob turned and the door swung open.
She was a little surprised to have me waiting for her, but she was glad to see me. She came in for a kiss hello, then started for the bathroom and the post-work shower she’d gotten in the habit of these days.
“Stop right there,” I said firmly but gently.
As if I’d lassoed her, she halted abruptly, then turned and gave me a quizzical look.
“Kneel,” I ordered, my voice still firm. I then waited to see what would happen.
