Quarantined partner

This isn’t exactly like what I you were talking about in the tweet, but it still a bit of a dramatic and sad story that might interest you if your bored.

My partner and I both go to the same small liberal arts college.  As a part of their studies, they were sent abroad at the beginning of March.  At a time the college were aware of the virus thing and during the whole time they were there were discussing precautions and possibly leaving early.

But the trips only just left yesterday.  Because of that, my partner now has to be self-quarantined for two weeks.  Now it is most likely that the college will be moving to online classes for the remainder of the semester.  We haven’t got anything but cryptic and vague emails, but we are supposed to get an answer by Wednesday. 

So my partner is in the process of just moving back home, which is halfway across the country.  I cant even help or see them why they do this because I don’t want to risk spreading the virus to my family.

And I am now I am just stuck with the houseplants they left me to babysit despite not having any sort of green thumb.  Like I am supposed to try and keep this pine tree they got from their grandmother alive. I barely know how to keep myself alive now I have a plant with pines that occasionally shed and I have no idea how to keep it alive!

Plus I cant see them til who knows when (hopefully during the summer or next semester but nobody knows).  The story will probably eventually have a happy ending. But for now, it is very shitty.
