I have way too many cat-collecting games (four) downloaded on my phone right now. Things skating withdrawal does to you
@cathlen:
I know there isn't a lot that you can do at the moment, especially with your cold getting worse. How about these things (random suggestions - obviously don't know anything about you! )
- Make a playlist of all films/shows you wanted to watch but never managed to watch (and then watch them! )
- Re-decorating the flat or doing something else creative
- Home-workouts on your better days: Doesn't even have to be something strenuous, just go for some stretches and balance exercises - that's what I do when I'm half sick but can't keep my feet still!
- Have a long phone/voicechat with someone you always wanted to catch up with but never did
- Get that long overdue sleep catchup!
Sending a virtual (desinfected!) hug over to you!

Will definitely do that sleep catch up And thank you for all advices!
I'm kind of depressed about this whole situation. I have very high risk at catching virus at work, I can't meet up with friends because of it and all sports are being called off (rightly so), so I don't even have any kind of distractaion from this situation by watching it. And my cold is getting worse. People are getting crazy. My parents couldn't buy bread today, because by 10 a.m there was none. And normally they were buying around 1 p.m with no problem. People are acting like Apocalypse is coming, even though all supermarkets, shops with food and sanitary products will be open... Anyway, stay at home if you can, so that people who can't, will be safer, please.
I walked to my local co op yesterday to get some essentials...
...
Coffee, Red Wine and Chocolate. I know what I'll want if I'm stuck at my house.
Someone (sorry, can't remember who) posted a few days ago that as an introvert, they recommended embracing the imposed quiet.
And Trudeau just said that Canada is closing their border to all non-citizens or permanent residents.
Exceptions will be in place for U.S. citizens, diplomats, crew and immediate family members of citizens
Per the CBC story
I believe I read that the US citizen exemption may be temporary.
Lol, I'm an introvert, and I don't like quiet. I like noise and being in a big crowd but not talking to anyone.
As a retiree I would like nothing better than staying at home riding this out. I live in a relatively unpopulated country setting but it is no guarantee of safety. Have been in touch with close family and friends who are out in the working world in large cities, urging them to follow guidelines for safety and health.. most are sensible and doing what's necessary but this is still a frightening time. Most of my daily routine normally involves animal care/feeding at my house; my sister had spinal fusion surgery February 20 and is healing nicely moving toward full recovery but has been in alot of pain.. cannot (still) BLT (bend, lift, twist). She has a small farm and guess who takes care of ALL four-foots some claws, etc... I am up before dawn, do my own chores, then down at her house working til noon, back home to do more chores at home, then back at her house to bed everyone down including my own late evening... it is a whirlwind schedule and meals are on the go. We are locked into doing essentials only.. so vet visits and other secondary stuff is on hold.. my BIL is in a wheelchair which limits them both so I help him with essentials too tho he has medical support on a daily basis. Occasionally he will ask the impossible .. now I am patient but there is a limit: when he asked me to retrieve the peeps from the top shelf of the pantry I was less than charitable... he did get them eventually..
My only indulgence now is chocolate, pinot noir, and green tea with lemon.. however, my sister told me recently that they would like me to be the DESIGNATED SHOPPER for the 3 of us until the virus scare abates!! Well that just about does it... :curse: Maybe, like Alice, I will disappear down a rabbit hole.. never to return. .:agree2:
