Sheltering In Place Is Not Working

I never thought anyone could be that annoying But we never had to be quarantined before It seemed like ten years So far it is ten days And I am ready to tear my hair out Week six I thought we loved each other I can barely look at him He put the last roll of toilet paper in his bathroom I am so over this pandemic Week twelve Here he comes again The slapping of his bare feet has annoyed me I can barely stand to hear him patter into the kitchen He jumps when I call his name He understands then It is just a matter of time Until his death.

What were you saying about 'not being as fierce as you thought you were,'... lol. I don't think that house is big enough anymore for the two of you (+ pets). Smiles, Gershon
