Betoota Grove woman, Bindi Hansen (32) was at breaking point earlier today, after yet another isolation mood swing that she can’t understand or explain.
Like many Australians locked inside their homes as part of the COVID-19 pandemic social distancing measures, Bindi can go two to three days at a time thinking that she actually doesn’t mind living in isolation.
However, this optimism can easily unfurl at the drop of a hat, triggered by nothing.
What started at a late lunch break from her under-stimulating working-from-home schedule quickly turned into a foul feeling from deep within her clenched fists.
As the tears turn into a slight migraine, Bindi is now planning to runaway and escape to Byron Bay or Melbourne or somewhere nice – before reminding herself that she can’t cross state borders because of this stupid fucking piece of shit virus.
However, just before things took a unfixable turn that may have seen Bindi taking out her foul mood on those that she loves with regrettable spite, a WhatsApp notification diverts her attention.
It’s come from a splinter group chat that was created for her girlfriends to talk shit about other girls in their bigger group chat.
“I can’t believe Phoebe just said that” writes her equally fragile girlfriend, Suki.
“That is so hypocritical. After everything she put Todd through omg”
Within seconds, Bindi’s mood changes from broken, to neutral, to excited – as her body begins processing the sweet release of endorphins that have been set off by this juicy goss.
She quickly goes back to the main group chat to witness this hypocrisy.
“Haha holy shit” she writes back.
“I don’t even think her and Todd are sleeping in the same bed??”
“She’s handling isolation that well I don’t think 🤭”
“What a train wreck”
