How's your quarantine going?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm annoyed that I can't go to the doctor unless my symptoms are urgent. I made the mistake of asking Doctor Google about brain tumors and now need my doctor to tell me why I probably don't have one (since all Doctor Google is doing is telling me that symptoms I have that I thought had nothing to do with it could actually be signs of a brain tumor).

Critical thinking gets a further boost, becoming more and more resourceful, innovative, and mostly that mundane day-to-day improvising.

Spring-cleaning is taking on a whole new meaning; never been so excited to locate such mundane/forgotten supplies in the bathroom cabinet - supplies are as follows:

* Two wrapped-bars of above average quality bars of soap in it's original box that held four bars of wrapped soap. Might trade soap-bars for toilet-paper - provided our community gets a kiosk of supplies traded on the honor-system!

* Two rolls of toilet-paper - enough said on this!

* Half-full (I won't mention the term 'half-empty' as I'm being the optimist's advocate) of expired date mouthwash. I apply this to the toilet after..........each use - my toilet never smelled so breath-fresh ! !

Thanks to advise here am now the proud owner of a coveted 8 rolls of toilet paper. And orders
for aloe on the way .. thank you all

Great.
I contracted pharyngitis.
AFAIK, the corona does not cause pharyngitis, it must be some other virus, most likely one I already had - I had runny nose for all this time.
Now the disturbance in routine and insufficient sleep got me.

Funny thing: the first symptom of pharyngitis I felt was - return of suicidal thougths. They are my general, non-specific alarm for insufficient rest.

Lately, days have been marked by extremes of sorts; that is some days (like today) I'm quite active, and busy. Other days, I'm slow, and grappling with the challenges of whether or not to do any specific activities.

I'm also mindful of noting specific sleep dreams; as sometimes noted in following WP threads:

it seems i have even more doing everything myself going on,
my tires feel wobbely or is it the road?
i had had to buy four new tires in autumn, the central scrutiner doesn't allow one tire to be sold, f* *f* *f* f*
as far as things don't fall apart any further, i have a trauma (it seems easy these days) about breaking things and getting smacked in the face

muddling on but not really ok......this praticing of imposed isolationism does not bode well for me.
hope all the rest of you make it through ok .

Quarantine? Quarantine?! What quarantine? I have health issues that keep me at home almost all of the time, and I am an introvert who lives alone, so this is normal for me. Thanks to having been without power for over 5 & 1/2 days at the beginning of 2005, due to snow and ice storms, I developed a strong interest in being prepared, so I have a stockpile of some of the dry goods I need, and one of my brothers picks up a few groceries for me when he does his own grocery runs. He lives in a nearby town, and sometimes shops over near me, so it is easy for him to stop by to drop off the stuff he picks up for me. It gives him a chance to check on me, and also to vent to me. He and my other brother are co-owners of a house, but aren't buddy brothers, so he sometimes needs someone to talk to, and I've become a sort of captive audience. Fortunately, the house they share has a second smaller kitchen upstairs, and there are bathrooms on both floors, so one of my brothers lives upstairs, and the other lives downstairs, which makes the situation work out for them.

Anyway, I'm used to being alone almost all of the time, and prefer it, so the quarantine hasn't made any real changes for me, except it's now impossible to buy facial tissues and TP online for home delivery. Fortunately, my brother was able to pick up a TP bundle and a 3-pack of regular-sized boxes of facial tissues for me last week when he was picking up some groceries for me.

so now i remember this diabocle, In my late middle to late teens this wasonce a familiar way of life.
isolation was a standard.. am realizing this is just a different pattern of life had not seen for a very long time. Now am yet still faced with big life decisiions anyway,, but have to deal with it in a older body. am wondering if previous way of life will ever return.?
