A few people (younger people) are offering to do things for me where I was the one doing things for them 90% of the time.

One thing has become quite clear: None of us know how much time we have left. It makes you change the way you look at things. I guess that's a silver lining.
This has made me look back and really appreciate the intimate relationships I did have, and though sad they didn't last, I'm grateful for each one I had. They were all beautiful and wonderful in their own individual ways.
I hope I have a few more to come in my life.

My silver lining...we have gotten some land scaping in, I did some deep cleaning. We have been walking everyday. And I also took some time to finish a book that been sitting unfinished a long time

I've had the threat of layoff hanging over my head for about a year and a half at my company. About a week ago I was finally laid off. It was kind of a feeling of relief. No more cloud hanging over my head. This is probably the best time to get laid off with all of the extra benefits right now. Decided I want to start my own business so thought I use this time to get it going. Can't go full steam yet with a lot of things closed and not going out much. Hopefully in a few weeks that will change. Hopefully, a year from now I can look back and say this was the second best thing that could have happened to me. The best would be finding someone new to love but that will be in the future. :-)

This social distancing and being stuck at home sucks. I hate it. I'm stuck working from home and never get away from my W. Nothing good has come from this. I miss going to work just to have a few hours away from W. I miss driving to work and the sweet solitude of my car. I'm tired of this and about ready to go find a Rona patient to cough on me just so I can go to a hospital and get away from her.
I have quit all romantic pretense and have stopped acknowledging her emotional state. There is a noticable uneasiness in the house that isn't spoken of. We still do all the routine things around the house. We've done a few home repairs and some yard work. I think that the depth of my indifference towards her is sinking in for her. I'm done bending over backwards to meet her emotional needs if she's going to neglect my needs. She's made several comments about me not talking to her and spending all my free time online. I just shrug and don't respond. The last two days, she's been really quiet and left me alone (thank God) and I think she may be realizing that this is her new normal.
The last time we argued about sex sometime last year, I told her that I was done chasing after a woman who doesn't want me. Her response was "Maybe if you ........ then I might want you more." This proves to me right through her own words and phrasing that: 1- She doesn't want me. and 2- Even if I did everything she wants me to, the best I can hope for is a maybe. Until now, I don't think she believed me.

What is the first thing you want to do when this crisis is over and we are released from the restrictions?
I’ve discovered that I am more social than I believed myself to be. I miss going out to eat with my friends. I look forward to resuming that!

I miss going out to eat with my friends. I look forward to resuming that! I miss being able to go to my favourite Indian restaurant. I plan to order one of everything! I am also looking forward to going to the pub to watch some football. But above all else, I want to get on a plane and go somewhere cool.

In the piedmont section of NC, the center 1/3 of the state, there are numerous wineries. Selecting a couple of them to visit makes for a good day trip. For 5-10 bucks you can taste a variety of wines and have a good conversation about the wines and the grapes used to blend the various wines. I look forward to doing that again soon.

I will be first in the queue the second the spa opens.

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.
