Losing track of the outside world

This is going to be short.  I have noticed that the pain that keeps me indoors keeps me cut off from the outside world.  Just something as innocuous as the weather that I would take for granted in the past has become somewhat unreal.  I would see what the weather was on my way to work or at lunch and of course on my way home.  Now am I am interacting with world more and more through the internet and the computer.  I have a widget in my web browser that tells me the weather.  I am not sure what the point of this was, other than I am aware.  Reminds of a Ray Bradbury story and not in a good way.
