These days

I’m an introvert. Generally, I don’t like people, especially groups, so, no change, personally. I’m really enjoying watching all of the nutty behavior. Seems crazy out there.

My life has not changed much except I'm staying home instead of going to work. It's called "working from home" now. I was going to retire out of North America 20 years ahead of my "official" time and sold my condo last year so it feels like I'm already retired and living in a resort town by the ocean. So all in all, not bad at all....

just under lock down quarantine for what appears to be no reason.

Oh well. Haven't gone anywhere negative.

I'm just staying in shape and watching out for socialist radicals to yell at from my car, or ask if they know a good bud dealer if I am on foot.

I also have taken up sewing and woodworking. I am considering, instead on being a sewing machine repair man for all of the entrepreneurial "hero" women making masks. My machine is from 1970 or something and was ten dollars at a yard sale. It worked... After I fixed it.

Woodworking is going so-so. I need to mount a vice. I am trying to build a stereotypical treasure chest out of old pallets to keep copper and silver coins in.

I have been planting lamb's ear around my yard so that I can grow my own toilet paper if I need to. It is wild here, so easy to grow.

I also garden. I got my kale in. Hoping to harvest that all winter.

My well pump broke and was 5k to fix. Now my well water is also full of sediment.

I have a lawnmower from 1960 that I need to sell.

Things are so-so. Could get worse. Could get better.

I need to get a pellet gun in case there is a real famine and I have to eat hummingbirbs and squirrel. Pellets are all they need if aimed right. Hunting big game is a losing battle and its just me.

Also I mass planted beans and I have a lot of rice.

I'm thinking kind of "survivaley" lately... But I do it cheap.

Edit: oh and I don't wear a mask anymore or recycle. It feels good to do things people don't like.

My company sent an email to everyone and said to stay home next week and get tested, apparently we had several cases of covid, and nobody knew, getting tested tomorrow.

Here in Florida, outside of wearing a mask things are pretty normal.

Radio_Pushka_KRUSS · 2020-09-11T02:41:26+00:00

Watching youtube, playing video games, going to 3 hour swimming practices, maybe lift some weights, and sitting on reddit.

the-lone-squid · 2020-09-11T00:25:39+00:00

I haven't missed a day of work yet. No one i know is dying.

Most pathetic pandemic ever

avtarius · 2020-09-11T01:58:39+00:00

Income streams are now better than ever.

There isn't not enough testing and tracking to document all Asymps.

All's good in my part of the world, I always loved to stay indoors during daytime anyway. Too much noise.

I feel guilty for having life so easy. I work mostly from home and avoid the commute and ironing. My dog is around all day to entertain me. My neighborhood is super quiet as everyone is hunkered down. All the social unrest and mayhem is only on the evening news. I have to limit my news intake because it depresses me. My personal heroes are the postal, UPS and Amazon delivery drivers. Whatever I want arrives at my front door like magic.

It's been a blistering hot summer, and I covid-cancelled my holiday to the seaside to escape. Oh well, cranked up the air conditioning and sipped ice cold beer.

So sorry life sucks for so many people, but I worked hard to be comfortable and it paid off.

SonOfAldrete · 2020-09-10T21:38:45+00:00

My life has not changed aside from wearing a mask to go to the store one time a week. I did plan on going to the gym this year, but covid happened after my knee somewhat recovered. I could barely walk for the first months of the year.

TheChestHairComeback · 2020-09-11T00:12:23+00:00

Discovered I’m an amazing finger style guitarist - Lower back still hurts daily though

Gunslinger1925 · 2020-09-11T02:56:48+00:00

I started remote in March and taught all my classes online. This school year, it’s 60/40 online. I’m glad to be back in the classroom as I teach my students better. As for changing, not much. I didn’t really do much before, though I’ve found myself banned from more than one politician’s Twitter or online group. But wear the mask when I go out.

I've noticed other people are in a terror mood most of the time. I've had to deal with doctors a bunch this past week and they're still minimizing work and doing things differently. It seems they are using covid as an excuse to not do their jobs and be lazy.I had to call my doctor over a dozen times (not exaggerating) to get them to send a fax for a referral. Then when I got the work done I had to speak to 3 different people to get them to fax my results back to the doctor. They straight said they just couldn't find my results, it was like I was never there. Finally after I spoke to the head of the respiratory department he supposedly took care of it, I'll find out for sure tomorrow morning. Not to mention the staff was just rude while I there especially the receptionist. Gross incompetence is what I keep experiencing. I don't believe there is an excuse for that level of incompetence, I mean a dozen calls in 2 days to get 1 referral faxed over?

Its tough man. Things are not working as I had planned them to be

onbakeplatinum · 2020-09-11T06:13:57+00:00

My jobs are both essential, so other than new procedures at work and not eating inside restaurants, not much has changed but a nice break on gas prices

muesli31 · 2020-09-11T09:22:39+00:00

Lots of sport (my gym has open). Other than that just one on one meetings with my friends where we talk about god and the world

sadbasturd99 · 2020-09-11T12:15:25+00:00

Overweight, bad back, mentally depressed and miserable. The only pleasure in my life is from eating candy. Playing games online, I do get some laughs from talking to the kids on games. And thats about it, sucks. I was doing so well as far as exercise and keeping weight off before the covid.
