My latest quarantine panic buy is a pink mechanical keyboard that is going to take a huge amount of getting used to. But I just can't use the laptop keyboard anymore, it will probably end up breaking if I do.

Introverts - when you're on your own it's easy to go from self isolating to deep introversion, which is hard to get out of. The community is amazing. Take advantage. And if you need someone to vent at - let me know, I've got the time.
