I entered my sixties during a pandemic when contact with other people seemed fraught with dangers. A loner by nature, I hunkered down inside isolation with my cats for company and a sense of relief at this guilt-free separation from much of the human race. As the months went by, I found myself discarding many of the trappings that had troubled me in my adult life: struggling with male hegemony and unsolicited male attentions, squeezing my body into bras and anything with buttons, balancing on three-inch heels, watching both my mouth and my waistline. I recategorized those trappings as Disorders of Modern Life…and chewed them up, swallowed them down until they disappeared entirely.
