Furloughed for how long? Tina had no idea, but this coronavirus put a daily ten hour hole in her solitary life. The gym was now off limits, but the sidewalk was available and free. Changes began to appear. Driveways were decorated with flowers and rainbows in colored chalk. Backyards rang with shouts of laughter. Neighbors in lawn chairs waved as she passed. Clusters of kids raced by on their bikes. Front yard signs celebrated life events: Congratulations Graduate, Happy Birthday, Thank You Essential Workers. Furloughed or not we are all in this together, she realized with a little smile.
