Quarantine Musings


This quarantine has been both a blessing and a curse for me. Normally I am a homebody, I prefer the sanctuary of my own home and the tend to spend most of my time in my bedroom. Really it just means I have no life. LOL

I do get out here and there, but before this whole lock down I really went to work and then came home. Every so often I would go see family or go out for a quick meal with them. That was my routine.

March 12, 2020 was my last day at work, the store was closed at the end of that day and we went into lock down. Next thing I know we are all put into a quarantine! Once this lock down kicked in, I found myself self isolating in my bedroom with my coffee pot and super soft blankets and living in my pajama's.

My mom has health issues and I'm trying to stay away in hopes of her not getting sick. My brother still works and he does the same and isolates himself into his bedroom to avoid getting either of us sick. 

Mind you I don't mind being inside, it's the introvert in me. I actually really enjoy it. What it driving me crazy is that the options to leave and go eat at my favorite diner, or go get a hair cut were taken away. I miss the diner's food and I butchered my hair trying to cut off the split ends. The ends are pretty much all lop sided. LOL

This quarantine fatigue is horrible. All I'm really doing is sleeping! I have done a lot of dreaming since being in lock down. Mostly because I'm sleeping so much. Dreaming of the future and of the past as well. The future has changed considerably and I'm looking forward to it with an open mind and a heart filled with positivity. While it's nice to be able to take naps every day, my sleep routine got to be horribly out of whack and is completely screwed up. 

My mindset is positive at the moment, yeah it wavers here and there, but all in all it's positive and I'm working hard to keep it this way. It's been super hard to stick with my normal schedule and in the end I've created a new one. This new schedule has currently turned me from a morning person to a night owl. This isn't a bad thing because I tend to get more things done online at night.
