Small pleasures, minuscule pleasures, by default belong to only you. If there’s one thing I’ve always been good at and has emerged as a pandemic asset it’s been making occasions out of nothing. When my parents finally got off the boat they’d been stuck on in the South Pacific for weeks from March into April my mom had just asked we get them essentials — bread, eggs, milk. They were a little embarrassed by what I’d instead stocked their fridge and cupboards with. Things I knew they loved but that they would never buy for themselves. There was practicality to the occasion, they’d been gone for over a month and would be quarantined for 2 weeks at least, but it was also their safety, sudden geographical proximity, and my crashing anxiety, to be able to do this for them was something I hadn’t let myself picture.
