home insemination kits with syringes
The past year has been a whirlwind of togetherness. We’ve connected as couples, siblings, parents, and families as a whole. From marathon Monopoly sessions to tackling 5,000-piece puzzles, we’ve navigated remote learning and juggling work responsibilities. Some of us went so far as to make drastic changes—like shaving our heads or dyeing our hair wild colors. Despite being cooped up, we tried to embrace life. But let’s be honest: every good thing must eventually come to an end, right? Are you itching to get out? Or maybe you’re ready to shove someone out the door? If we don’t find a little distance soon, there are going to be big consequences.
While we’re grateful for our health and that of our loved ones, let’s face it: those we cherish can drive us absolutely bonkers. Have you caught your partner humming that grocery store jingle every thirty seconds? Yes? And now it’s stuck in your head, too. It plays on loop, day in and day out. From coming out of the bathroom to scrolling on their phone at dinner, that tune is relentless. Seriously, does he deserve a surprise buzz cut in his sleep if he doesn’t cut it out? Absolutely.
Then there’s the wardrobe situation. You just can’t bear to see your friend in that worn-out college t-shirt for another second. Sure, she might’ve washed it recently, but who does she think she’s impressing? She’ll spruce up for a Zoom call, but pants? No way. Sound familiar?
And those kids—are you fed up with their chewing yet? They put sugary cereal in their mouths, chomping away without closing their lips, letting milk dribble down their shirts. Where are their manners? Do they act like this when you’re not around? Oh, they probably do! You’d do anything for an hour of peace, even if it means hiring a babysitter just to escape for a little while.
What about those showers? Have you noticed that they’ve become your sanctuary? That hot, steamy retreat where you can finally find some solitude? You might even be shaving your legs daily just to enjoy those few extra moments alone. No judgment here—if you can sneak in two showers a day, go for it! Just keep a thick moisturizer handy for that dry skin.
Have you noticed how much you and your partner have started to resemble one another? The same hairstyles, matching sweatpants, and maybe even a debate over who gets to wear the good pajama pants at night? Perhaps it’s time for an overnight getaway—just you, alone.
Nothing sounds more enticing than a trip to the pharmacy to pick up a new prescription, even if it means waiting thirty minutes for them to sort out your insurance. Slap on that mask, sanitize your cart, and stroll through the aisles like you’re rediscovering the outside world. Compare the prices of toenail fungus creams, count the vitamin varieties, and fill your cart with overpriced snacks. This is your time. You deserve it.
You’ve stopped asking your spouse about their day, haven’t you? Because you already know how it went—you’ve been in their sight the entire day. There’s really no need for conversation at this point. In fact, a week of silence sounds heavenly. Maybe we should all just embrace the monk lifestyle for a bit and unplug.
While we might not be ready to move out just yet, it’s clear that many of us could use a breather. With the weather warming up and vaccinations rolling out, it’s becoming safer to expand our circles a tad. Places are reopening, and while there are still restrictions, we can start to return to a semblance of normal. Just remember to stay smart and safe. But a word of warning: if you hum even a single note while I’m enjoying a Diet Coke on the patio, you may just find yourself on the receiving end of a throat punch.
