Your plans when corona is over

Post Reply New Topic

I'd like to travel abroad since I couldn't this year... Ireland, perhaps?

I will probably go outside and explore once or twice a week again. Otherwise, it will be the same.

In reading the posts I noticed a lot of you have not ventured outside.

Unless you are in the middle of a big crowded city solo walking is a safe activity even without a mask. If you are going into a store of course mask up. People here social distance. If two people cross paths one will step aside or walk in the street.

Outdoor exercise even if it is just a walk around the block is good for you, it helps your resistance.

When the pandemic is over it will probably be worse for me, all that sensory stimulation and socializing expectations I have gotten used to doing without will be back.

I don't have any plans and Corona will never be over, anyway. I have such a mundane daily life that the one major thing about it that's changed is having to wear mask whenever I go shopping.

Although I now order my groceries online first so I can pick them up the store when they're ready and all paid for. I was especially thankful for that this Monday with it being so close to Christmas and Walmart practically being like feeding time at a zoo. I had thought they were going to have more restrictions on how many people can be there, but I guess because there haven't been any reported cases where I live since April they decided it was okay.

What kind of crafted goods? Covid is a great time to be creative and make all kinds of stuff to sell later!

A good perhaps, perhaps.

Ireland crossed my mind as a possible travel destination someday. My friend is of Irish heritage - I helped pick his newborn son’s name from the final 6; Torin. Also, I quite enjoy the company of the Irish that come and fill up the university campus every Summer where the beach is - their accents, their good party vibe, their pride & work ethic - such a resilient people that have spread throughout the world and work Hard to build things & then be able to send or take money back home where there are No jobs. They’re very appreciative of having hard work to do. I think it might be nice to visit their country sometime.

Scarves, teddy bears, painted bird houses and drawings/watercolours that I've completed over the past 6 years.

I have been thinking that I would like to take a boxing class. If I can find a way to afford it, I'll be doing that once things open up again.

To go for long drives to relax, and then hide away during the other times....

[Uhmmm. Back to normal really! ].

I'll admit I sort of enjoy going into a bank with a mask on.

I'll probably start visiting my local library again. I can't afford books, plus it's the only social life I have outside of school and work.

I know someone on this site that lives there.

I'm a very picky eater(thou I'll eat a lot more variety than I used to, I'm still very picky thou) & I love fast-food type stuff. We get it sometimes when a member of my girlfriend's family comes by but we just get it to go & bring it back home. We don't drive so the only other way we could get it is if we take the bus to places. Cass has been afraid to take bus rides since the pandemic started cuz of the requirements like wearing a mask, the buses having a limit to how many people can be on at a time, & the drivers can throw anybody off the bus if the driver thinks the person is showing symptoms. Cass has bad acid reflux, asthma, & allergies which can cause her to cough. Having to wear a mask & worrying about the driver throwing her off causes anxiety which is more likely to make her cough. She can not take buses anymore so she has to rely on her family to take her anywhere & they don't live that close. We moved shortly before sh!t got crazy & there were various places around our new area she was wanting to go to but by the time she got settled in enough, the virus happened & the places started having requirements like wearing masks & some places only let people stay in for half an hour. She liked going to libraries & bookstores because she liked browsing through the various books & being able to read & write in a different environment than at home but that is not possible for her due to Covid restrictions. What's really funny is when a health professional recommends that she goes out & does stuff cuz it would improve her mental health. All the Covid requirements majorly increases her anxiety when she goes out which would make her mental health a lot worse. Health professionals sure lack common sense sometimes despite all their learning. We are a lot more limited with going out than we used to be. I've always been a homebody & never liked going places to see stuff & have fun but I do like eating out & going to some shops. I haven't seen my parents in a couple years. I wasn't able to travel down & visit them last year due to various bad life stuff going on with Cass & I wasn't able to travel this year partly cuz of Covid. My parents would of came up here & visited us but Covid made them not want to travel.


I really need to get a job as well. We have a lot of debt & there's various things we could really use that we've been putting off getting. For example I really need a desktop computer & my current one is still using Windows 7. I'm not really sure how to go about getting a job where I'll still be able to keep my benefits like Social Security Disability, Medicare, & Medicaid. Vermont has a higher minimum wage than the federal & the 3 jobs I had all required me to work at least 30 hours a week. The only jobs I can do are unskilled manual labor stuff & it also has to be stuff that does not require good fine motor-skills or very hard physical labor. There was various bad stuff going on last year & we were also trying to move for a year which kind of prevented me from looking for a job. After we moved it took us a while to get settled in & then Covid happened. I'm not afraid of catching the virus & I would not be anymore afraid of people than I was when I was working like 12 years ago. I have not been searching for a job cuz I am sure I would of had a much better chance of getting a job before the pandemic started & my chance would of been very slim before.

Visit China.

I was actually beginning to plan my first trip to China early 2020... but that went down the drain.

I doubt I'll be able to enter the country before having proof of vaccination, though.

Oh, and jazz concerts...

I want to go fishing for squid in Seattle.

I didn't say it in my first post but I also hope to see some of my extended family because there is finally a place we can stay since they moved and it's been over 10 years since I last saw them.
