Diary - Shrinking During Quarantine

Tina Tiny · 10-23-2020

Day 1

It's still a little surreal.

When I was growing up, the only thing we worried about catching was the flu. Well, that and chicken pox...but you only get that once!

But shrinking?!

I still can barely believe it. That there is such a thing as a shrinking virus. And worse, that only an extremely small (ugh...no pun intended….) portion of the population have the genes that make them susceptible.

It's like winning the lottery! Except terrible. -_-

Maybe it won't be so bad. I've googled cases of the Shrinking Virus, but the extremely few cases I could find information on only involved people losing around a foot two of height.

I mean, still...yikes! I'm only 5'6", so if I lost a couple feet…..I'd be shorter than Hallie!

Speaking of my daughter, I miss my family already.

They are going to be separately quarantined throughout this whole situation. I understand the need, but I will miss them all the same. Still, I cannot feasibly imagine what it would be like to have to look up at my kindergartener for once….

Maybe I should just look at this like a long vacation. I have the house all to myself. The Doctors told me I should relax in order to ease the symptoms. Take nice long showers, eat a few nice dinners, spend my time catching up on my favorite book.

I'm walking around now, looking into the familiar rooms, taking in the scenery. What will it all look like when I'm a few inches shorter? Or maybe a foot? Maybe even a few feet….EEK!

As I'm walking, I can't help but feel the occasional tingle through the bottoms of my feet. Is it starting already? Have I gotten any shorter? Is the strap of my tank falling off because of the virus, or just because of the way I'm standing?

It's too much. I'm going to make myself a margarita and take the Doctor's advice and RELAX.

One day at a time.
