Radio as a crutch.

I notice more and more in my life that I have the radio on at certain times of day, and that sometimes I can't seem to turn it off at night, even when quiet would be better, and that sometimes I get into crazes with programs, like how I have to listen to the radio news at this one time of day, or to Saturday afternoon opera. I would almost think of it as a crutch, and it is, but I have to remind myself that we're in a pandemic and I'm still pretty isolated, and so everything that I do is okay. I tell myself the same thing when I find myself spending way too much time doing jigsaw puzzles.
