So it has been week 1 isolating, staying away from people – we started shutting down the office Thursday, Friday it was a skeleton crew and Monday it was time to start shelter in place (SIP). What a strange time.
Am I scared? Yes, I am an asthma sufferer, and so every wheeze makes me worry. At the same time, I am pretty healthy apart from feeling old and decrepit at times.. But, I suppose that is aging.
I think the hardest thing is the lack of structure, and then the lack of human contact. I talk to so many people daily, but alone is fine, but I miss the banter. The first few days were harder as I had to find a schedule and implement it. Then to put clothes on and not just work in PJs is also hard. But, I think it is better.
I miss gym, the regular going gave my days a lot of focus. I just missed one cousin’s wedding in the UK, and I am going to miss anothers soon I think in New York. Plus all the shows that have been cancelled – the first year ever I bought so many tickets in advance.
I am not going to ATL this coming week, so will not see my sister and nephews :(, and that really sucks. No Jessica in April either. everyone is stuck I know, but it feels so scary.
But, I think the hardest thing is not knowing when I will see Donovan again. I mean long distance is hard, but I can cope, as I know we are together and then everytime we see each other it is special. But now, when do I see him? It is really hard. I wish we were closer, so at least I would have someone to be with me, but then my apartment is pretty small, and that would be difficult as well.
I think this coming week is baking week, I need an extra outlet. Oh and extra walking plus, I will be doing online fitness classes.
