What are you doing during the pandemic?

I am reading, doing puzzles, catching up with friends, and I've learned how to use Instacart for groceries. I'm also walking as often as I can. Rick and I are watching some stuff on Netflix and Amazon Prime that we've heard about.What are you up to?

Reading, excercizing at home with my effective but lonely bullworker....being tormented by our cats who know how to take advantage. We make bi monthly trips to Dennis Hopper's grave in Taos but dear wife still refuses to pose on his gave and she will not ever hear doing so nude....tough to be a man in times like these....

It will be interesting to see how the economy goes after the virus at last lifts....not sure I want to see how long it takes...but so it goes.

Mostly searching for toilet paper.  Well, not really ... have enough, and anyway the supermarket I just now returned from has it back on the shelves.  Clorox disinfectant wipes are another story.  Haven't been to a meeting or gathering since March 12, but technology has replaced a lot of what has been canceled --- teleconferences, webinars, Zoom, e-mail, etc.   Walking the neighborhood has replaced going to the gym (and we have a home gym too).  Sorry we won't be having our HHS 55th reunion this year.  We will get through this.  Everybody be careful and stay safe.

My clubhouse is closed for at least 30 days, so I started working out at home using YouTube and walking my dog a lot! I am still working and selling homes, so I have not stopped. I am spending more time at home. My goal is to find the wood on my desk again!  Everyone stay safe and well.

Still working 4 hours per day for the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino I am the resident Manager for Senior Housing of course all of our activities have been postponed, the 100 foot commute to the clubhouse/office can be challenging ( humor intended ) so my wife and I have been catching up on our reading the one thing we miss though is not being able to attend church luckily our church has plenty of programs for us on the internet. As there are no hair salons open some of my friends are choosing to go hairless I on the other hand have chosen to go back to the 60’s look until of course when my Great Clips re-opens. I also thought it would be a good time to pick up my guitar and record some tunes for my children and Grandchildren is amazing now that one can literally have a recording studio on one’s computer. So that’s what I will be up to until this Pandemic is over. Now to reading what others have posted

Walking every day instead of gym. Reading more books. Watching more movies and streaming thru Netflix and Amazon, titles I had heard about and never found time to view. Still working partime.

Self reflecting and feeling grateful.
