Between eating her weight in food and silently cursing every smug dickhead broadcasting their at-home gym session, Betoota Heights local Anita Finn [27] has had to fight off some unexpected urges that have come part and parcel of life in quarantine.
Chatting to our reporter over the net, who too was attempted to sate her boredom by getting fist deep into her third packet of honey soy chicken chips that day, a bored Anita explains how hard it’s been not being able to fall back onto the usual activities she does when she’s in need of stimulation.
“I think I just liked knowing that if I wanted to go out, I could.” muses Anita as she attempts to half-ass some exercise around her bedroom, “that, and just mindlessly wandering around the shopping centre.”
Pausing mid lunge, Anna adds that if she was being perfectly honest, she hadn’t actually gone out that much before the worldwide pandemic occurred. Happy to spend her weekends curled up with a book or watching Netflix, the sudden urge to run out her front door was uncommon for someone who’s lifestyle had virtually unchanged.
“I keep seeing people post about how hard they’re finding it being stuck inside all day without anyone to talk to”, says Anita, sadly, “Kind of shines a light on how shit your everyday life is if people can’t even manage to do it for a couple of weeks.”
“Suddenly, I now have this huge urge to go out and live a little. I’d honestly kill for some Cold Rock right now.”
More to come.
