Going batty over lockdown

Isolation is difficult to deal with. I’ve been getting advice from all around me.

• I started by talking with the toaster and microwave. We agreed that things are getting bad.

• I didn’t mention anything to the washing machine as she puts a spin on everything.

• Fridge was cold and distant.

• Vacuum was unsympathetic — told me to just suck it up.

• Toilet looked a bit flushed, didn’t way anything, when I asked its opinion.

• Front door thought I was unhinged.

• Door knob told me to get a grip.

• Curtains told me to pull myself together.

• Fan was more optimistic — said it would soon blow over.

• Fridge was right. The iron straightened me out by assuring me that everything will turn out fine, that this situation won’t be pressing forever.
