Quarantine Meme

Snagged this from earlgreytea68

1. Are you an Essential Worker? No.

2. How many drinks have you had since the quarantine started? None. I don't like alcohol.

3. If you have kids... Are they driving you nuts? Yes, but they always do that.

4. What new hobby have you taken up during this? No new ones, but we are expanding the garden by a lot. We're worried about the food supply chain and we have the space.

5. How many grocery runs have you done? Two since February 7th.

6. What are you spending your stimulus check on? We aren't spending it. It went straight into the Emergency Fund. DH is working from home for now, but we don't know for how long. We are putting everything we can in savings.

7. Do you have any special occasions that you will miss during this quarantine? Already did. We had to reschedule our 25th Wedding Anniversary trip in mid-March. We have rescheduled for mid-May, but may have to reschedule again. Depends on when this thing lifts. Or if it lifts.

8. Are you keeping your housework done? The basics, yes.

9. What movie have you watched during this quarantine? Contagion, Pandemic, and Outbreak, along with a few apocalypse movies and zombie movies. End of the world, much?

10. What are you streaming with? Netflix and Hulu. Watching a lot of YouTube, too. Main thing we are watching is on Hulu, a show called The Last Ship about a Navy ship during a...viral outbreak. It's good.

11. 9 months from now is there any chance of you having a baby? No.

12. What's your go-to quarantine meal? I'm cooking as usual. I've added a few things in like beans with ham hocks or having more rice. We had a lot of meat in the freezer and most veggies never were out of our markets for long, so it didn't change much.

13. Is this whole situation making you paranoid? In the beginning, but I think I had Covid in February, so not as much now. I do wear a mask out, though. I worry more about where our rights are going to go with some of these draconian measures, but at the same time, I'm staying home unless I have to go out. I also worry about the people who are running out of money to buy food. I am worried there might be food riots if this gets bad enough. Our food bank is running out of food and not getting enough donations.

14. Has your internet gone out on you during This time? No more than usual. Upload speeds are laggy, though. But streaming has been fine.

15 What month do you predict this all ends? I don't have a clue. I was hoping by May, but that doesn't seem likely, what with their fears of a new outbreak in the fall.

16. First thing you’re gonna do when you get off quarantine? Get my hair cut, but not for a week. I want all the other people to clear out of the salons before I go in.

17. Where do you wish you were right now? I just want to be in the little cottage by the sea that we were going to go to for our anniversary. I miss going to the bay and to the lake and to the creek and to the local waterfall. Being near water is something my soul craves.

18. What free-from-quarantine activity are you missing the most? Fishing, crabbing, prawning. I want to go out on DH's boss's boat.

19. Have you run out of toilet paper and hand sanitizer? No. I sent DH out for two cases of Charmin the day the first person died in Washington state. I've read all the apocalypse books. I know what goes first. I also ordered 2 big bottles of hand sanitizer that day from Amazon since we have to get the dye free, unscented kind due to allergies. We wash our hands as much as possible and save the hand sanitizer for when we are out, like after getting cash from the bank, or going in a store or the pharmacy or the doctor's office (the few that let you come in at all). We keep one bottle in the van and one in the truck. We've not used it much.

20. Do you have enough food to last a month? Yes. The chest freezer is 3/4 full and the canning shelves still have a lot of jars on them.
