Some Personal Quarantine Observations
Yesterday marked the start of my fifth week in Covid-19 quarantine.
It’s hard to believe. I had to check the calendar twice. Here are a few of my personal observations:
- I have not used a full tank of gas yet
- My credit card statement was the lowest it’s been in a long time
- I don’t need those things from Amazon as much as I thought
- The number of things you touch when you are out and about is crazy
- I miss my gym
- With proper planning one weekly trip to the grocery story is more than enough
- I am socializing with distant friends now more than ever (thank you Zoom)
- Health care workers are better people than I will ever be
- My dog, Scout, is just now realizing that “Daddy” is working from home
- One thing I forgot to stock up on is trash bags
- I hate working out at home
- Being forced to quarantine is an opportunity to think outside the box
- We are all more creative than we give ourselves credit for
- The Earth is cleansing itself of human abuse
- We must first be our own advocates (the government cannot save us from ourselves)
- I am emotionally triggered by social media so I must safeguard my mind
- I really hate working out at home
- I should not have purchased that second bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
- This forced and prolonged down time helps me focus on what really matters
- We can’t change the past, but we can shape the future
- I don’t want to go “back to normal”
- I want to take more control of what my future looks like
- I really miss my gym
