alarming, to say the least

I'm in New Zealand. Living with my parents and my little sister who I've never really got around to developing an adult relationship with - it's always been 'you took my!' 'you ruined my!' with us. I'm not 100% sure who she is as a person now but I guess I'll find out.
No non-essential leaving of the premises.
My boyfriend of several years lives alone; I won't see him until this is over.
My father decided that getting an alarm system installed TODAY was ESSENTIAL. Yes, the alarm system he had previously wanted to have installed 'because we'll all be out all day when your sister starts university'. THIS IS QUARANTINE. NONE OF US IS OUT EVER. even me. at home, I'm not out. know how hard it is to be fully in the closet and not able to visit with ANYONE who knows who you really are without someone eavesdropping on you?
But back to the alarm system. These poor guys from the alarm company are here in the house trying to install things. Dad is 'supervising' (micromanaging). Usually tradespeople who come to the house come when he's at work; they get off lightly. He's not at work today.
I'm hiding in my room. I haven't left my six-foot-square bedroom all day and it's after noon.
I might go set the alarm off tonight.
