* My life became sort of the norm for everybody else.

* When I forget my partials, don't have to come back for them, mask hides the gaps.

* Shaving, dressing, presentation are way down the list.

* All those celebs on t.v. have dogs, been brought down to earth, have regular bookshelves/cabinets/knickknacks - well, they don't show the good stuff.

* The "home" shows are boring.

* Grocery & big box shopping are what living is about.

* The boredom of Spider Solitaire is quite worth it.

* No, not reading my 300 books.

* The dogs are wondering why they have to entertain me and cuddle so much more and are tired of it.

* There really are lots of channels out there.

yeah, eating a bit too much sigh but at least w stage 1 in NYC there is a about a half mile+ round trip I can walk w minor amount of people.

Doing some drawing. Starting to cook even just basics again (used to be a good cook). Bought a digital paint program for cellphone, working with that. On phone & fb with friends and family. Planning some socially distanced get togethers w some of them - me and 1 other at a time. Planning to go to park with a garden soon - weekday less ppl.

Not too shabby all things considered. Oh, and joining, posting here in DU!
And at 67 I'll increase my going out from 5% to 12% - 15%. If it gets worse again (NYC) I'll go back to my 5% ( I hope not!). Of course, always wearing a mask.
So I'll have (powers willing) more time for the @home activities.
