Aimeé
No one is supposed to be leaving their house right now or gathering in groups. All the things that once defined time for us, like school, sports, work, have either been canceled or completely transformed. There are no evening plans and often no reason to get up in the morning. While some people have managed to wrangle some sort of schedule for the day, most of us are measuring the day by how long it takes to eat our snacks.
It’s pretty wild how quickly the basic construct of time has broken down under the current circumstances, but at least we’re all in it together. It seems like everyone has noticed how formless the world has really become! And they’re making pretty great jokes about it on Twitter. Here are some of the best to read for a few minutes. Or perhaps hours. Or maybe you’ve always been reading tweets here. Who knows.

You’ve got to feel sorry for us freelancers who used to measure the week by when our family left us alone. We have no idea what day it is anymore. Before there was family-at-home days and not family-at-home days. Now only family-at-home days.

Gwenyth Paltrow said in an interview we should take this time to learn a new language or write a book. I just shook chip crumbs out of my bra & I don’t know what day it is. I’m fairly certain I’m not going to attempt either of these things.
