The first thing I plan to do is get back into my side job so I can start saving money for my escape. This lockdown and not having my second job has drained what savings I had built up and now I'm back to square one on saving for a lawyer. Well, that’s too bad! I’m sorry about that!

“ said:What is the first thing you want to do when this crisis is over and we are released from the restrictions? ”
Get back into going to the gym several times a week, taking dance classes, improv class, meeting with my study buddies for learning Spanish, and eating frequently at restaurants.

When the restrictions are over and it is safe to do so, I am going back to the gym and having an ice tea with friends.
I am still high risk so "when it is safe" might be much later for me than the general population.

I will give and get lots of hugs. I’m so touch starved. I’ll not have to worry about keeping my distance. I can’t wait.

I have to agree with warmways . I am missing hugging my friends and having that affection. And I will go visit my dad. I am sad for how alone he has to be right now.

This whole quarantine is a blow to those of us who have "touch" as our no. one love language. The bright side is how much it means when you are quarantined with someone who has the same "touch" love language! The downer is how difficult it is to speak and get close to other people that we meet and associate with. I really am a hand shaker, pat on the back, huggs, toucher...more than I realized!

Go to Barnes & Noble and smell the books. I hear ya. But man, you better get there quick... they’ve been on the ropes for so long, and this shutdown is going to steamroll retail companies that were struggling. I lost my two favorite engineering bookstores in Silicon Valley years ago; shopping online is just not the same thrill as discovering a new subject on the shelf.

Not what I am going to do in the future, but right now I am making beef stew in the crock pot to serve for supper and a couple of days in the future. I am living for the "now," even though it can be a bit boring.
Making lemonade from lemons.

I just cleaned and re-arranged the spice shelf , got rid of some spices and combined some spices. Lemonade out of lemons.

For those of you who yearn to go to a bookstore I recommend the following if you are ever in or near Columbus Ohio. It is 32 rooms on two stories jammed with books. The whole building smells like books. Heaven. www.bookloft.com/tour-store

Good point I need my hair and nails done desperately lol Come on, girl! Buck up and diy it! If you need tips, DM me. I'm about to retouch mine for the umpteenth time. Seriously, I'm almost a pro! 😏 There are tons of instructive videos on You tube as well. If you are careful and don't try to change your hair drastically, you're pretty safe. (caution always rest for allergies to dyes first) but even with bleaching and toning, it can be diyed- you just have to be very careful. That said, I'm chomping at the bit for the salons to reopen. I find I can handle color well, but cutting my own hair is a real stretch- especially in the back.

I"m a nurse...I have not experienced the stay at home as many have. I still go to work each day...patients we have are just sicker than we typically see. This has been really depressing, but the community has been wonderful.
When this is over...I look forward to going back to the gym. Running outside is great, but I miss my weights!
