No matter how you slice 2020, people feel things are much different than they were a year ago. Maybe we’re all getting older, but it seems like time is moving faster. Or, wait. Slower. Some etiquette about when and where to schedule a Zoom call or when to text a friend remains the same. Other conventions, like bedtime and what you really want from GrubHub, have gone out the window.

if I text you "are you up?" at 2 AM please don't hit me back at 6:45 AM with "I wasn't! what's up?"

My therapist said that keeping a strict routine would help my quarantine depression which is why every morning by 11 am sharp I report to my couch to stare at the ceiling for 12 hours then it’s lights out before midnight

Me at 9 am: I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed early tonight.
Me at 2 pm: I can't keep my eyes open. I'm going to bed early tonight.
Me at 8 pm: I'm so tired. I'm going to bed early tonight.
Me at 3:30 am: Oooh—RoboCop's on!— Jennifer M. Wood (@j_m_wood) July 21, 2020

What’s your deal, 9pm? You’re not 7pm, but you’re not 11pm. Pick a side, I say.
