I can’t decide. At certain times I can’t believe I have been in my home for as long as I have. Other times I feel time feels like it is dragging on so slowly.
I have not gone out anywhere. As most of you know, I am in my 60’s and have asthma so I am not taking any chances going out. Hubby is doing the shopping for food.
Everything seems so weird so I am putting this under mental health category.
I think having my husband home all the time is making the time seem off for me too.
You’re staying busy! You have a routine. Good for you.
Hahaha, your hubby has a cute sense of humor! 😁
I had a pretty predictable weekly routine preCovid-19 - laundry this day, grocery shopping that day etc - and hubby was at work on certain days, along with Rainman going out with his companions on a specific schedule...
None of us have really left the house - beyond hubby taking Rainman for a neighborhood drive in his golf cart - for over a week now.
The days are all melting into one another and I’m feeling very Goundhogs Day-ish. A couple of times I’ve had to ask my hubby what day of the week it is. Which scares the snot out of me as loosing track of days and time was one of my mothers first signs that she was moving from regular old lady forgetting into dementia.
My rational self - which I’m seeing less and less of as the pandemic worsens - tells me it’s just the terrible situation the world is in coupled with Cabin Fever. That once I can get back to my regular routines my mental calendar will rebound.
But - all in all, I’m not complaining. I know I am much more fortunate than a whole lot of folks. Plus, there is much to be said for knowing we are all safe, healthy and together - here in my time warped bubble.
I know it sounds asinine to say - in the “well, duh” kind of way - but how I wish this nightmare was over!
Edit: On a lighter note... I’ve been asking my hubby to change a burnt out light bulb that’s too tricky for me to attempt due to it’s awkward spot - for several days now. I asked again today and he said “yeah, but if I do that now what will I have to look forward to?”
Richard Simmons is doing YouTube exercises for us. Geeeeez, people from long ago along with current exercise instructors are helping us stay fit while being quarantined.
I get it, not just to stay in shape. Or get back in shape. Some people are struggling with stress or boredom and overeating.
Plus, exercise releases endorphins which makes us feel better. So, get moving guys!
I have been hoping the same thing. I really have. This crises is awful. I hope that we take away something positive. I sincerely hope that we are experiencing genuine awareness of situations that require important changes. You are correct in saying how quickly we forget.
I live alone and have for a long time, except for those 15 months Mom was here.
I hate to admit this, but I've never felt this lonely.
But watching the things going on the 'outside' so to speak makes that seem very selfish. I just want us all to get through this and never forget lessons learned. stay safe everyone.
Makes me sad. Makes all of us sad. I suppose we are all doing our best to stay afloat.
Yesterday, I forgot to tell my daughter that her in-person session with the teacher is now online. Totally forgot that it was Wednesday. Kept thinking that it was Tuesday. Today, for some reason I thought it was Friday.
As for time going faster or slower, that reminds me of a joke. Times goes fast or slow depends on which side of the bathroom door you're on. Haha.
