On her Facebook post, the author wrote: I’m forever very unlucky. I have been alone in the house since March of last year, an indoor cat as a companion, didn’t take a step outside, didn’t let anyone enter the house, cooked, washed the dishes, clothes, cleaned the house, and did everything by myself.
