unedited for 100 days. Day 24

We are living in apartment right now while our house is undergoing a mix of water damage remediation and some updating. Our unit is on the northeast corner of the building, looking out at two neighboring condo and apartment buildings. Once it gets dark, the glow of the tv's start to illuminate the windows around me, giving a sense that the day is winding down and that my neighbors are all home from work or wherever they go during the day. Not in a creepy way, but I have started to build stories about each neighbor based on what they watch and whatever habits I might observe in this little fishbowl of multi-family dwelling units that I'm living in. In a way, it brings a sense of unity like we are all in this together. Doing our thing during the day, just to return home and enjoy a couple hours of indulgence on the couch. It's true though. We are all in this together. I wish we remembered that more. We are all on this planet at the same time, sharing the same moment in history that is like no other. Though it's a shame that we don't have more summer nights. Instead of being inside on our couches, we join humanity outside- strolling, licking ice cream cones and watching sunsets. I love you cozy nights on the couch, but it's quite possible you are keeping us all from getting to know one another.
