Monday Morning Musings Housebound Saga Day One
Posted By Kathleen David on March 16, 2020
The larder is stocked.
We have a number of projects we want to do and now have the time to do them.
The Y is open but limiting things a lot. I wear gloves when I lift weights and we have a wipe the equipment down policy that has always been enforced.
Now we figure out the new norm for us for the foreseeable future.
And that is a little be scary because it is not like anything we have lived through so far.
I am glad I have mental health help to get me through this with minimal panic. I just have to get out of my head and stop worrying about things I have no control over.
I think to help I am going to give myself some structure to my day. Caroline and I have agreed a schedule for the gym and driving lessons. There are the daily tasks like dishes and then the weekly tasks. I also have a list of projects I want to do that now I have the time to do them because there is no pressure to be anywhere.
I am checking my temperature every morning because I am currently the one who goes out of the house. So far I have been my bit on the low side body temp. I am really hoping to stay there.
Caroline is feeling better having recovered from her bout of laryngitis but I can tell her allergies are starting to act up as the flowers start to bloom. She is not getting a break this year from the sniffy nose.
Peter is feeling fine. He is only leaving the house when absolutely necessary because he is in the demographic that the virus is really bad for.
I feel like we are waiting for another shoe to drop. I have no idea what that is but right now it is hard to get milk, eggs, meat, and bread at the store. I think by next Friday the panic shopping will calm down a bit. OK maybe I am being a bit hopeful about that. When it takes me four grocery stores for a box of saltines and I can only find the off brand, that tell me something.
So today is a regrouping day to figure out the new norm. Then we continue to live the best we can.
I am grateful for people who were reasonable shoppers.
