12 Signs of Lockdown Lethargy

It doesn’t matter where you are in the world you have probably suffered from listlessness, languor or lethargy during a pandemic lockdown.

?It’s unfamiliar territory so I wanted to share my humorous take on it. I’ve called it my “12 Signs of Lockdown Lethargy!”

?1.?????I play tactical card games with myself and get angry when “I” lose!

2.?????I make my own noodles on an old Italian pasta machine… I don’t even like noodles!

3.?????I sing Verdi opera ballads to my robot vacuum cleaner named Mimi!

4.?????I look up the cast lists of US Netflix shows to see how many Australians are in them?

5.?????I get fully involved in the characters of those Netflix shows shouting out “Mary … don’t kiss him … I thought you were a lesbian?” or “Look behind you Basil … he’s got an MK47!”

6.?????I regularly play the children’s game Concentration with my partner. He regularly wins even when I cheat!

7.?????I over-water the front garden in my mask to catch a glimpse of a real person waking by with their dog, but neglect the dying indoor plant in my bathroom.

8.?????I laugh uproariously every time I see the eBay ad “We should?get sushi Carol!”

9.?????I have conversations with myself about what the relationship is between Carol and the sushi man?

10. I use a bucket to catch wastewater in the shower … and then waste it down the toilet because I’m too lethargic to use it elsewhere.

11. I enjoy hand washing the dirty dishes after our dishwasher broke down. I might never get it fixed!

12. I make silly lists!!!

If you enjoyed my lethargy list add some of your own in the comments section. Make someone else smile by sharing it with them.
