Simply put, I’m not planning on leaving my apartment in the next three weeks. I have sick leave coming and, this is NYC, which even more than “The City That Never Sleeps” should be called “The City Where You Can Get Everything Delivered.”

You don’t have an SO or flatmate or nearbh family to help?

I have my husband. He does this crazy thing called “working all day.”

But I don’t understand your question. Help with what? I have Netflix, piles of books, more knitting than I could ever finish, and delivery of any service or product I should desire. If you’re asking if there’s someone who could drive me around, the answer is no. None of my family are car owners. IF I needed to go anywhere (which I don’t, see above) I could call a car service.
