Personally they are all about on the same level...being in survival mode really sucks....staying home when others run about endangering others is a teeth gritting time....on top of it in the midwest back to snow and 28 degrees....a bit easier to handle being able to get out in the sun a bit...after all how many of the same hobbies can one do over and over and over...heya what about a little bit more variety on tv with better quality movies...yikes..... Okay I just vented!! More to mumble and grumble about later on I guess....and wow my hat again really is tipped towards those people and family dealing with the illness....staying away from others way out in the countryside....it.s been since March 21st going anywhere...cause grocercies are delivered.....
and oh yeah the scammers annoy me more than ever before....kinda of trivial I realize...just goes to show that this gal is having major cabin fever.....

you can always play them along and then dump em with horrible insults but be sure and block em- they say terrible things sometimes when you insult them.
Everyone else who has responded has been light hearted...if anyone has ever read my stuff am usually on a light side....never complained about the tp crisis or anything...but here I am actually not at home but further west at a friends home who would ever think that all of this would have happened that is quite something ....my car was being repaired so they picked me up had planned on staying for awhile and then all of this wasn.t worth the risk of traveling back....so...anyways to continue on with this being told to xstay at home...but it is not my home...there must be comfort amongst all of us who have the blessing of being in ones own place surrounded by items from your life and not just a few suitcases was in the midst of moving...so all of my things are in storage...was in the middle of relocating...came out for a visit and WHAM....use to be in a choir and use to sing for my supper now I feel like am back in college doing things to help out...like the ole room and board thing....so wow do I ever feel for people traveling and then stuck...okay on the bright side of things am blessed that wasn.t stuck on a ship...that friends of friends are being generous with me....that I do have a few things hobby wise to use over and over...that the tv works even though it is just antannae tv , that have a computer I can utilize, also that I brought a few books with me...luckily have a few seasons of clothes so when it warms up have some lighter fabrics to wear....and looking forward.....that am in an area that have been to before....does this mean I should relocate here....I wonder! A bit difficult to make decisions right now....if I went to where my family is.....would be in a hot spot of the virus...ugh so hence for I believe the first time ever this chickey chick vented.... yeah I got out my frustration and sense of feeling trapped!
Mercedes_00: I've used this time to reflect on what is positive and healthy for me in my life forward that goes way beyond fitness.
There you go....and yes you are lucky cause you are at home....not trapped......I am hoping that working on a complicated puzzle may free me to think things out.... thankfully my friends provide the vino....relax once in awhile in the livingroom that I have taken over as my space...wow....

Most irritating is I can't visit my mother, couldn't on her birthday lately, and well, it can take some months before I can see her again. Also my chessclubs are closed, there's a lot of old people there, some ill with cancer. And of course I miss the children I'm teaching how to play chess.
The other things, well, I don't care to much allthough shopping while keeping distance from other people is kinda difficult when other people don't try to keep distance too. Maybe I should caugh while doing shopping

Yes...that is very difficult...I have a friend whom that happened to also she wasnt able to be with her Mom on her birthday...so I feel for both of you and others going through all of that .....and I relate to what you stated ...cause last month last time out went to a health store and tried to keep my distance but this one lady kept getting near me....it was rather nerve wracking first time in my life didn.t enjoy shopping so got outta there real fast....the prices were so high...even higher than the top of the line health store and with that was my last shopping expedition.
aye agree i miss having me nails done , i have resorted to press on nails LOL so me hands dont look so old....my frustrating mind in this virus mess is the panic buying people are doing...the rudeness of people ..people who were nice have gotten rude and the snobby and rude people just got worse..it a sad thing indeed ...the fricking media is not helping either...please be safe every one and stay blessed....big hugs
It doesn't bother me that I have to stay at home. I'm normally a stay at home kinda girl.
What does bother me is that my dentist cancelled my appointment to get my teeth cleaned.
The other thing that annoys me is that people in grocery stores don't respect the 6 ft. rule
One of the stores I go to has put arrows on the floor at the beginning of the aisle signifying that you can enter that aisle. So the aisles are one way. I works out well unless stupid people ignore the arrows which they did
In general the thing that is upsetting the most is that my continent us under the rule of a maniac in the white house.
Right now I've been out the back scratching my head trying to figure out the best safe apparatus to jump and cling to so to be able to do chin pull ups..
With my boyfriend we decided to do 'the lockdown' together at my house altough we didn't know one another that well intimately as we started seeing one another shortly before it all started. We knew we were taking a chance but decided to go for it anyway... For us it has been a daily discovery and enjoyment of doing exactely as we please although within my homebase of course. Each day more pleasant than the last and now planning medium term things like planting the vegetable patch.... So far it has been an adventure that wouldn't have materialised in that way if it wasn't for the confinement... I do miss not being able to visit my children and grandchildren in UK or my parents and rest of family in France ... And I look forward to getting into my car and driving off somewhere
Actually nothing has changed for me on the farm. I am a recluse by nature anyway. But, what is funny is now that I can't go into town...I want to! The stores that are closed in town, I never shop at anyway. But, annoying that I am leery of going to the ones that are open. I have always been careful in town in winter..colds..flu..so just another bug to avoid. I always have a zillion projects to do, hobbies and maintenance. Problem is trying to come out of winter hibernation and finding a can of I give a darn. Old age syndrome..who cares.
