Oh, yeah.

We are making banana bread, drinking a lot.

But also a time where your home life becomes more important than usual because you're home 24-7.

So I was 30 at the time, working full-time, navigating remote work and what that looks like.

I was spending a lot of time with my boyfriend of two years, but we did not live together at this time.

We had had conversations about it.

I wasn't quite ready.

So ultimately, I was living with random roommates by the beach.

So on a Thursday night, early May, at about 1.30 in the morning, I get a call from an unknown number.

So I answer and on the other end of the line is a police officer.

I'm a little alarmed, but he says like, I'm outside of your house.

And he asked if I was safe.

Oh, yes, I am safe.

I'm confused.

Exactly.

So then I walked to my front door and open it.

And slowly the scene starts to come into focus.

And I realized that my house is surrounded by police officers.

guns and spotlights pointing at my house oh wow oh my god this is kind of my dream wake up no she didn't like that oh man something's really happening time to be awake it is burned into my brain as one of the crazier things that have happened how many cops do you think are out there at least a dozen okay they got the whole department let's rewind a few weeks

So now we're in April, even earlier in the pandemic.
