Hello fellow readers. Here’s another post about how I am basically surviving quarantine life.
Also, anytime I have to go out into public during this virus and even before then I always want to play, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me,” by The Police. I like my personal space so if you haven’t heard it before give it a listen now.
Since we’ve had to go to a more quarantine lifestyle I’ve had to alter my lifestyle a little bit. I’ve been able to keep my job (for now) and have gotten more hours since many people are going on furlough. I continue to do my school work (even though I feel like I’m still on spring break) and am figuring out how to do certain assignments. One of my classes is photography at The Antelope where I have to take photos of things going on around campus, but now there’s nothing. So, that class I’m having to improvise photos a little.
Something that is helping keep my sane during this quarantine has been the nice weather. I’ve been going on bike rides, runs, my roommates and I have gone to the park to play basketball, catch, tennis, and we even went frisbee golfing. When the weather was a bit gloomy that was driving me crazy because I felt cooped up inside of my house. And yes I know I could’ve gone outside, but I get cold so easily I just wanted to sit under a warm blanket with my coffee.
One good thing about quarantine I guess is it’s allowing me to be a little more creative in my crafting. I’ve had some bake clay for a while, which I’m hoping to turn into a pot for a new plant. I also have some more time to paint some new art work for my house. I also have plenty of time now to make some new ankle bracelets for my friends. I made a bunch my freshman year of college for my friends and over the years they’ve worn down and broken so now I can make some quarantine bracelets for them.
The latest thing my roommates and I have started is a 3000 piece puzzle. We got it last summer to do, but with everyone’s busy lives we only just started it now. So, what better way to try to stay home than to try and complete a 3000 piece puzzle before quarantine is over.
I can say I am really itching for quarantine to be over though. I want to be able to go to Target and wander aimlessly. I want to wander around campus again and laugh at the squirrels. I want to be able to go to a swimming pool and feel like I’m in middle school again by jumping off the diving board. I want to be able to go on some kind of summer vacation.
Basically, I’m enjoying some more of this free time I’ve gotten from the quarantine, but I am really excited to be able to leave my house freely.

I love that choice in songs by the Police! Sounds like the roommates have become closer…I don’t know how close you all were…so that may be a bit of a generalization. Hope things are still going well at the job…every time we go there I ask Rachel (my wife) to say hello for me but then she forgets (DOH!)

It’s definitely forced us to hang out more, which is nice since we don’t know how much longer some of us are going to be living in our house come May. And yeah work is fine still, but we’re still getting many customers complaining that they can’t sit inside or we don’t have their bagels. Ready for a full shutdown for a few weeks.

Perfect song for social distancing.
