Things that don’t matter any longer

Some things have changed since the start of the Covid-19 virus. My list of things that don’t really matter any longer keeps growing.

Examples:

Jewelry – I don’t care if I wear 14kt gold or anything precious. I have thousands of dollars in gems and precious metals, but why would I want to wear it? For whom?
Clothes – Stylish clothing no longer matters. Most of the time no one sees me, so wearing a robe all day would be ok. Because I’m bored, I do buy new stuff but it’s always roomy, loose and comfy.
My nails – Before the virus, I had them done every couple of weeks, but now I don’t want them manicured. I saw how difficult it was to grow them back to natural.
Meals can be simple and that’s fine. I haven’t been in a restaurant for five months.
Perfume and deodorant are for me alone. If I like it ok, but that’s where it ends. Why bother when I’m the only one who enjoys scents.
Wearing a bra is a rarity. I put them on only when I’m going out and wearing something where the lack of a bra would show.
I still care about myself enough to change my bedding and wash my hair on approximately the same schedule as pre-Covid, but I’ll bet there are a lot who don’t bother. No one sees us.
I have my cleaning guy come in every two weeks. I don’t want my place to smell like an old lady’s home. I want it to be fresh, but the virus makes it difficult. One 78 year old lady lives here. No one else is ever inside.
