25 days. 25 days was all I could do. Finally ventured outside today for the first time in 25 days. I wish I could say it was glorious. It was nice. The mask makes it difficult to really enjoy. It’s a crisp 45 degree, sunny day. I wanted so badly to breathe the fresh air, but all I got was the smell of my own recycled coffee breath. Every few minutes, when the breeze was just right, I’d get the briefest whiff of fresh air. I was so tempted to pull the mask down, but its not worth the risk. Mostly, this really just made me want my old life. It would have been so easy to ditch the mask and walk into a bodega for a coffee. Citizen app says we might be getting over the peak of this thing. I want to believe that. I want to so badly. But I’m keeping my guard up. Delayed gratification. We’ll make it there again. #coronavirus #selfquarantine #venturingout #facemask #facemaskselfie #😷 (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Aevy0pTvP/?igshid=1xo6yfrztf6g5
